Yesterday I was asked to send my grandmother to the school bus stop, because she is not able to walk through the snow with his walker. There was a mom walked with her little son in the same direction. The boy was screaming and crying all way. Before my grandmother left by bus, I walked back with the mom and she told me that the boy could make up sounds but no words at this point. I held up my hand to the boy, which was walking, and he took it. He was content with my hands while I chatted with his mom. I felt he trusted me. It made me very happily, too.

Causes of sandstorms
In desert areas, sandstorms are most commonly caused by either thunderstorm outflows, or by strong pressure gradients（气压梯度）which cause an increase in wind speed over a wide area. In some cases, dust and sand may set a limit to a shallow depth by a low-lying temperature change. 1. Drought is another cause of sand storms. Poor farming practices make dust and sand free of protection from the wind. 2. A sandstorm can transport and carry large amounts of sand. Desert is the key source of sandstorms. Saharan sandstorms have increased abut 10 times during the half century since the 1950’s, causing topsoil loss in nearby countries. In Mauritania, there were just two sandstorms a year in the early 1960’s, but there are 80 a year today.3.
Sand storms have also been shown to increase the spread of disease across the globe. Virus in the dust is blown into the atmosphere by the storms. Some diseases may not be urgent at the very beginning, but they can develop into deadly ones if left untreated. 4.
Sandstorms cause soil loss from the dry lands, doing harm to agriculture. Sandstorms also reduce visibility, affecting airplanes and road transportation. 5.
Dust can also have good effects. Central and South American rainforests get most of their mineral nutrients from the Sahara; iron-poor ocean regions get iron.
A.Effects of sandstorms.
B.Bad results caused by sandstorms.
C.People know little about the effects about sandstorms.
D.In other cases, dust may be blown as high as 6,100 meters high.
E.Dryland farming is one of the most serious practices.
F.For example, a breathing problem can lead to lung cancer, while dry eyes lead to blindness.
G.In addition, sandstorms also discourage visitors from visiting these places, striking tourism.
