A sandstorm refers to a high amount of wind occurring in sandy areas,usually in deserts,where the wind speed is able to lift the top layer of sand from the ground,and push it in every direction. The sand involved in the sandstorm can reach heights of about 3. 05 m—15. 24 m.
It is very dangerous to experience sandstorm. Sand can get into the nose,eyes,mouth and lungs. If you happen to be caught in a sandstorm,you must protect yourself by wearing masks,scarves and so on.
If you’re driving when such a storm approaches,it ,s advised that you pull off the road,since it's difficult to continue driving. This is also important since vehicles can fail in during sandstorms and you could end up stuck on the road.
Most sandstorms occur in spring,and during the daytime. Many of the areas around the Persian Gulf and the Sahara Desert are associated with the most serious storms. Since it's a natural phenomenon,it can't be entirely controlled. In areas that are natural desert regions,you can't always prevent a sandstorm. There's much evidence that the planet Mars has dust storms,and clearly,no human intervention (介人) is responsible for such. Though it can move whole sand dunes and destroy crops,a sandstorm is not without benefit (益處) .

Kelly Trella has found a way to get rid of her 2-year-old son's old clothes; she swaps (交換) them. Trella was clearing her house when she came across a magazine article about ^ThredUP,a children's clothes swapping web- site. She signed up and has been swapping used clothes ever since.
ThredUP now has 15 ,000 members with another 1 ,000 being added each week. Founder and CEO James Reinhart says the company is trying to attract parents who are buying their children clothes for the new term. The existence of ThredUP is surely driven by the economy.
“These days people who once only dropped off clothes arebuyingthemtoo ,”saidJamesReinhart.“Morepeo- ple are more careful of what they spend,M he said. uThey (Mn’t have to worry about it before. They still want their kids to have those really nice things,but they don't have the money to do it. ”
ThredUP worked with a Boston charity to give $ 1 from every swap to the charity to help clothe children and buy them school supplies. The site sends 10 boxes online to each customer. The customers can put their used clothes into the boxes and browse (瀏覽) the website for what they want. Once a customer finds what he wants,he pays $13 for transportation. The customer who owns the clothes then is informed so he can send the clothes off. There are no photos of the clothes,so decisions are pretty much based on brands and descriptions.
"The first box I got,I paid $ 13 in total and I got 13 shirks. Of course,they have gone through the wash a couple of times,but they are of good quality,” Trella said. “You are giving and you are getting. It's nice to share."
The company relies on customer reviews to get rid of the people who are giving clothes that are in bad condition. There is trust involved for the people who use the site.
