21、   Qin Tian, 26, returned from Britain to her hometown of Xiangyang, Hubei Province, for the Spring Festival. And she stayed to help in the fight against COVID­19.

Since January 24, she has collected and given out aid(救援物资) with many volunteers. Between January and March, the most difficult time for medical workers, Qin wore plastic bags so that she could work for 10 hours.

Every morning, Qin helped distribute aid to hospitals, communities and the people in need. In the afternoon she communicated with people to get the latest information about the need. Sometimes, Qin and her father took turns driving the family car to bring aid from another city. They needed to drive for about eight hours for a round trip. It was often 11 p.m. or 4 a.m. when the aid arrived. After arriving, Qin would then help unload(卸) the aid. She took a rest in the office for four or five hours a day, with scabs(痂) on her shoulders. The scabs were from unloading the aid.

Nowadays, everything returns to normal. She hands out daily necessary things to poor people. Those people thank her a lot.

Qin's idea for volunteer work came from her mother. When she was in junior high school, her mother took her to many places to offer some help.

“The experience touched me a lot. I used to complain(抱怨) about life, such as the strict rules from my parents, but after learning many people were still living in difficulty, I realized that what I should do is to help those in need. Doing meaningful things makes me feel valued(有价值的) and I would like to give lots of my time to that，” she said.

When people talk about smart work and hard work, they usually wonder which one is more important.In fact,   smart work is more important.But working smartly is very hard. This is not a wordplay.It is not easy to be smart.

What is "smartness"?

People are smart when they can find out a way to bring more results with less effort(努力).If you can achieve the same results without putting in a lot of work, you are smart.The person pushing the vehicle is smart, because he is using the knowledge and wisdom(智慧), and the hard work of some other people.

How can we work smartly?

Creating that wheel isn't easy.It needs a great thinker, followed by an engineer's hard work.It then needs a handy man.Only then does it become easier to push the material using the machine.So, smart work is not easy at all.

Besides, being smart takes a lot of effort.People need to read more, keep learning new things, try to learn from others' experiences and sharpen their thinking skills.They need to predict the results before putting any effort in any direction, and being able to manipulate the given resources(资源) to meet their needs.

Human beings are smart.The human history shows our smartness.We don't need to go hunting for our food any more, because we were smart enough to find out that farming could bring much more food with much less effort.We then developed modern tools for farming.

Humans also invented the Internet, the wheel, clothes, the smart phones—all the tools that help us to work smartly.All of this is hard, but that hard work makes us smart.Because of smartness, we are much better off today in terms of happiness and richness.

A big sandstorm hit northern China on March 15, 2021. It covered many cities with thick clouds of yellow dust (尘土).

The storm, which came from Mongolia (蒙古国), was the largest sandstorm to hit China in the past 10 years. Many flights and classes were canceled because the visibility (能见度) was lower than 500 meters.

The storm was the result of warm and dry weather in the area, together with the strong winds from Mongolia. “There has been little rainfall so far this spring and the temperature is rising. So now is a worrying time for sandstorms,” said an expert from Beijing.

In recent years, sandstorms haven’t been as common in northern China as before. The land with desertification (荒漠化) has been falling by 7,585 km2 per year in China, and the area of sandy land has been decreasing by 1,284 km2 a year. This is thanks to China’s Three-North Shelter Forest Program (TNSFP, 三北防护林工程) which started in the 1970s. Millions of trees have been planted in northern China to prevent sandstorms and protect the environment.

Besides, China has a color-graded warming system for sandstorms (as shown in the picture), with red meaning the most serious, followed by orange, yellow, blue and green. Therefore, people would have time to get prepared for the sandstorm.

【1】According to the passage, the sandstorm in March ________.

A．covered many cities with rain

B．came from Northern China

C．has been the biggest one since 2011

D．improved the visibility to 500m

【2】Paragraph 3 mainly talks about the ________ of sandstorm.

A．results

B．causes

C．history

D．areas

【3】The underlined word “decreasing” in Paragraph 4 means ________.

A．going down

B．rising up

C．taking up

D．running out

【4】If the visibility in your city is 400m, a(n) ________ warning will be given out.

A．red

B．orange

C．yellow

D．blue

【5】The passage introduces TNSFP and the warning system to show ________.

A．where the serious sandstorms come from

B．why people should protect the environment

C．how to protect ourselves during sandstorms

D．what China has done to fight against sandstorms
