Worst sandstorm in years
【整理】 By Cdplln
CNN's Emily Chang explains why China's spring sandstorms are particularly bad this year.
A massive sandstorm has blanketed in China with a layer of sand and grit（n. 砂砾，粗砂石，勇气，决心 vt. 覆以砂砾，咬紧牙关 vi. 发出刺耳声 ）. We see these storms here every year around spring time, but this one is particularly bad. Residents are saying this is the worst they've seen in four or five years. It's clouded the skies with a dusty brown color and on the ground you can see a layer of dust accumulating, and also on the cars as well. Now what we are seeing is people wearing face masks, wearing bandannas（n. 印度班丹纳花绸巾） to protect themselves. And when you breathe it in, you can really feel a bit of grit in your mouth and in your throat.
Now part of the reason that this is happening is because of desertification as well as a severe drought in northern China. Strong winds have whipped up sands in the Gobi desert and have sent them south. Now weather forecasters are saying the sandstorm has now reached Hong Kong and Taiwan, but as far as we can tell it really hasn't prevented most people from going about their businesses as usual at least here in Beijing. The streets are buzzing (vi. 发出嗡嗡声，充满，匆忙 vt. 飞进，使嗡嗡叫) as they always are, but residents are being advised to stay indoors if they can.

Earth Hour Saturday 3/27 CNN's Rosemary Church looks at Earth Hour's call to action on March 27. 4,000 cities and towns took part in 2009.
【整理】By Cdplln
It’s a global call to action directed at every person, government, business and community across the planet, the message: Lights off for one hour at 8:30 PM on Saturday, March 27th.
Four thousand cities and towns in 88 countries plunged themselves into darkness this time last year. Lights out in Paris, Beijing, Rome, Sydney, Kuwait City, London, New York and Egypt, a united planet for one hour across each time zone. Hundreds of millions of people going to black for one cause: Planet Earth.
It’s a global call to unity an action on mitigating (vt. 镇静，缓和，减轻) climate change, stopping climate change and committing to carbon, carbon caps.
But what does it actually achieve? Well, it’s more about symbolism than conservation, highlighting the planet’s future.
Earth Hour is a way for the citizens of the world to send a clear message: They want action on climate change.
An initiative (adj. 创始的，初步的，自发的 n. 第一步，首创精神，主动权) of the WWF has started in 2007 when more than two million Sydney residents turned off all non-essential lights. The world followed Australia's lead with this year's event reportedly on track to become the largest Earth Hour ever. So will you be turning off your light? Earth Hour urges you go to its website and click on the light bulb to show your support.
Rosemary Church, CNN, Atlanta.
