A sandstorm is like a snowstorm. They can happen in towns or villages. Sandstorms and snowstorms both cause a lot of trouble for people. In sandstorms, the wind carries the sand. Unlike other disasters, sandstorms come with a warning（警告）. If you see that the clouds have a dark, brown color, it means there is going to be a sandstorm. If there is no rain for a long time, sandstorms may happen. When there are sandstorms in cities, there will be no planes in the sky. It would be dangerous for the pilot to fly the plane because he cannot see clearly. There would also be more traffic accidents in the street. The sky is grey and people cannot see very far. There are many deserts in Africa and Asia. Sandstorms may happen in these places more often than in Europe. People can stop sandstorms by planting trees. 1.

Hanna changed her name to Anne because she thought it would be easier for people to remember. Joseph is thinking about changing his name to an unusual name because he wants to be different. People have a lot of reasons for changing their names. Film stars, singers, sportsmen and some famous people often change their names because they want names that are not ordinary, or that have a special sound. They chose the "new names" for themselves instead of the names their parents gave them when they were born. Some people have another reason for changing their names. They have moved to a new country and want to use a name that is usual there. For example, Li Kaiming changed his name to Ken Lee when he moved to the United States. He uses the name Ken at his job and at school. But with his family and Chinese friends, he uses Li Kaiming. For some people, usingdifferent names makes life easier in their new country. In many countries,a woman changes her family name to her husband's after she getsmarried. But today, many women are keeping their own family names and not using theirhusband's. Sometimes, women use their own names in some situations and their husbands' inother situations. And some use both their own names and their husbands'. 4. Hanna changed her name to________. A. Anne B.

"If you can carry on, one day something good will happen." After graduating from college in 1932, I decided to try for a job in radio, then work my way up to sports announcer (播音员). I took the bus to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station. But I was refused every time. In one studio, a nice lady told me that big stations didn't want to accept inexperienced person-"Go to the countryside and find a small station that'll give you a chance," she said. I returned home, Dixon in Illinois. While there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Smith Ward had opened a store and wanted a local sportsman to manage its sports department. Since I had played high school football in Dixon, I applied (申请). The job sounded just right for me. But I still failed in the interview. At that moment, mom's words came to my mind: "Everything happens for the best." Dad offered me the car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport in Iowa. The program director, named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer. As I left his office, I felt frustrated (沮丧的). I asked aloud, "How can a man become a sport announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station?" I was waiting for the lift when I heard MacArthur calling, "What did you say about sports? Do you know anything about football?" Then he made me stand before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary(想象的)game. As a result, I did a wonderful job and was told to broadcast Saturday's game! On my way home, I thought of my mother's words again: "Everything happens for the best if you carry on, one day something good will happen. 12.
