Everyone tries to get to school on time. But when bad weather causes you problems, can you still make it before the bell rings?
Sandstorms usually happen in spring. In northern China during this season, big sandstorms often bring problems to students and everyone else. When the sky is dark with sand, buses and cars all move much more slowly.
Many places in northern China have few trees and don’t get much rain. People there have been cutting down too many trees. When there aren’t many trees, the ground can’t keep enough water. Over the years, the ground dries up and turns to sand. When spring comes and the ice melts, the ground becomes looser. Strong winds take the loose sand into the sky, which brings sandstorms.
Sandstorms are bad for people’s health. If people breathe too much sand, they may cough a lot. Sandstorms also bring farmers lots of problems. Sometimes their sheep get lost in the storms and never get back home. The winds also break farmers’ houses.
What can we do to help stop sandstorms? Here’s an idea: ask your parents to help you plant some trees this spring. What’s more, if you see people cutting down too many trees, tell them about the danger of sandstorms.

解析
【分析】
做这类英语阅读理解题，需先明确题目类型（细节理解题或主旨大意题），再带着问题回到原文定位相关内容，对比选项选出正确答案。第1题是细节题，需定位沙尘暴发生的季节；第2题是主旨题，需归纳第三段的核心内容；第3题是细节题，需定位阻止沙尘暴的办法。
【解析】
1. 本题为细节理解题。根据原文第二段第一句“Sandstorms usually happen in spring.”，可知沙尘暴通常发生在春季，对应选项A，故选A。
2. 本题为主旨大意题。第三段主要阐述了北方地区因树木稀少、过度砍伐，地面无法保持水分逐渐沙化，春季大风将松散沙尘吹入空中形成沙尘暴的过程，即沙尘暴形成的原因，对应选项D，故选D。
3. 本题为细节理解题。根据原文最后一段“ask your parents to help you plant some trees this spring”，可知阻止沙尘暴的办法是和父母一起种树，对应选项B；A选项“砍更多树”与文意相反，C选项“让地面更松”是沙尘暴形成的条件而非解决办法，D选项“为农民建更多房子”文中未提及，故选B。
