VI. Furthering Listening and Speaking

Task 1: Dust Storms

American researchers say dust clouds from dry African deserts may be a threat 1 to human health in the United 2 States. The dust may contain many small organisms 3 that could be dangerous. Each year, huge storms form in the Sahara desert of northern Africa. Winds carry the dust across the Atlantic Ocean. The movement of dust has been increasing in recent years because of longer periods settles 4 in South America. From June to October, the winds change and transport the dust to North America, Central America and the Caribbean. More than half of the dust that reaches the United States settles in the sate 5 of Florida. For many years, it has caused the skies there to turn red. There is probably a link between the dust storms and higher rates of allergies 6 and breathing problems in people in this area.
