She then saw that the room was completely orange. “I could not believe my eyes,” she told BBC news. She thought there was a bush fire. But when she went outside, the whole city was covered in a film of orange dust. “It was like being in the outback (内陆), but it was right here in the city,” she said. On that day, a big dust storm swept through Sydney. It covered the city in orange dust for about eight hours, and people cant see landmarks such as the Sydney Opera House and Harbor Bridge. The storm influenced the transportation system. Flights were put off. Roads were busy in the difficult conditions. Children and the elderly were told to stay indoors until the dust had cleared. Later strong winds blew it out to sea and up the coast. No one was hurt in the storm, though health officials and emergency services answered hundreds of calls from people with breathing(呼吸)difficulties. Dust storms are common in the Australian outback, where the land is poor. But the storms hardly reach the coastal areas. Officials said it was the worst dust storm of the past 70 years. Experts said that dry conditions in the outback and strong winds caused the sandstorm. “Ten very dry years over inland southern Australia and very strong winds have co-operated to produce the storm,” said Nigel Tapper, an environmental scientist at Monash University, Australia.21.

I know how hard you have all worked to prepare for this test,“he said. And because I know you are all able to understand this material, I am ready to offer a B to anyone who would prefer not to take the test.A number of students jumped up to thank the teacher and left the classroom. The teacher looked at the remaining (余下的) students and said, Does anyone else want to get a B? This is your last chance. Two more students decided to go. Seven students stayed. The teacher then handed out the papers. There were only three sentences which were typed on the paper: Congratulations! You have received an A in this class. Keep believing in yourself.I never had a teacher who gave a test like that, but I think that it is a test that any teacher could and should give. Students who do not have confidence in what they have learned are B students at most.The same is true for students in real life. The A students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have learned from both successes and failures. They have learned lifes lessons, whether from formal education or from events in their lives, and have become better people.
