"Poor Grandma! Is there any way to make her feel better?" Amy said to her brother Mark.
There was something wrong with Grandma's legs. She loved to work in her garden,so she would not enjoy sitting in her chair waiting for her legs to heal(康复) themselves.
"I have an idea, " said Mark. "I saw some pictures of terrariums(玻璃箱) in a magazine. Terrariums are little gardens. Let's make a terrarium for Grandma to make her happy. " Amy thought it was a great idea, so they found the magazine with the ways of making a terrarium and showed it to their mom. She thought that a terrarium would be a great gift for Grandma.
With the help of Mom, Amy and Mark found a large and clean glass bottle. Mark then placed two plants and put the soil(土壤) over their roots(根). Then Amy placed some colorful rocks(岩石) around the plants. Finally, they watered the plants.
When Amy and Mark showed Grandma her new terrarium, her eyes were wet. Now she has a beautiful little garden to enjoy in her house.

Dust storms(沙尘暴) appear when strong wind blows sand and dirt from a dry surface. Strong dust storms may cause deaths, so you should know how to protect yourself from dust storms when you meet them.
Be careful of dust storm warnings | Dust storms probably happen on hot summer days, and it's not safe for people to travel during this period. So you should listen to the local TV or radio before travelling, and consider changing or giving up your trip if dust storms are predicted(预测). |
Be prepared | If you are in a place where storms happen often, carry a mask(面具) to keep dust and dirt away from your face, and a pair of glasses to protect your eyes. |
Stay inside | Do not move around when a dust storm comes, as you will not be able to see hidden(隐藏) dangers. So if you are in a house, don't go out and just stay inside. |
Protect yourself from flying objects | Cover your body as much as possible in a dust storm. A strong wind of dust storms can carry heavy objects, so you should try to stay low, and close to the ground, and protect your head with your arms or a backpack. |
