Around 8:00 a.m., I had a doctor’s appointment (预约). It wasn’t raining then. At 9:00 a.m., I left the doctor’s office to drive to the patient’s home, and it was raining hard. I just had to go about 5-6 miles down one main road to get to a nearby school, where I could stay until the rain ended. Unfortunately, the road in front of the school was full of water, and my car was stopped in the middle.
“Who is going to save me?” I wondered. I shut off the car and turned on my flashers(车灯). I called 119. They were not helpful. I called my husband, even though he couldn’t come and help me. I was also very close to a police station. But I never saw one police car. I decided to get out of the car, since it was still raining heavily.
My best decision of the day was to wear rain boots. I took my umbrella and quickly got out and ran across the street to a safe place.
Soon, a tow truck(拖车) happened to pass by the street. The driver kindly offered(主动提供) to help me At that moment, I really needed my car pulled out quickly. Then he pulled my car and drove me home.
Although many years has passed, I still remember that stormy day and the warm-hearted stranger clearly.

Sandstorms have hit most of northern part of China, covering the capital Beijing .The storm was the strongest this spring, and hit China’s north in March with winds. Sandstorms often take place in spring, caused by sudden seasonal temperature changes. It covers the whole city with sand and air transportation(交通) has been affected（影响）in the storm .Therefore, many people wonder how much worse the weather will become when the spring sandstorms sweep into the main land one after another.
In fact, a sandstorm has done a serious threat to the air and the environment. Sandstorms like these are widely known among the herdsmen(牧民) in Inner Mongolia as “Huang-mao-feng,” “wind that carries yellow sand.” In recent years, these sandstorms have taken place more often. We can’t help asking: we have no way? The fact is that sandstorms are caused mainly by man’s actions. People have used too much exploration(开发) of the grasslands. Because of the rising price of goats’ wool, herdsmen in Mongolia have been hurrying to keep goats instead of keeping the grasslands.
Too much exploration brings too many bad results. The problem of sandstorms doesn’t only happen to the Chinese but also to the whole world.
