Perhaps you've already watched or heard about Readers, a TV show that has recently become popular on CCTV, which is hosted by Dong Qing. It invites different people to read aloud on the stage and tell their moving stories. They can read everything, like poems, books, letters and so on.
Many people are fans of the show and fall in love with reading aloud at home. Now the show gives people special reading pavilions(亭子) to read in some big cities of China, but every pavilion is so small that only one person can come into it each time. Everyone can read what they like for three minutes in the pavilion. Later the show will pick out some of the readers and invite them to read on TV.

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. |
