A sandstorm is a kind of strong wind that blows over the desert. It raises sand and dust into the air and makes it difficult to see the sun and it reduces visibility of most to zero. It is also known as a dust storm. Some storms are usually the result of convection currents（对流气流）caused by the strong heating of the ground. Then wind is usually strong enough to move a small hill of sand. It can make travel very difficult and can even destroy roads in flat dry areas such as those in the United States.
The Simoom is the strong hot wind that comes across the Sahara and Arabian desert. This wind is the reason for much of the dust in the air over Europe. Evidence（证据）of the dust from Simoom wind has also been found at the bottom of the sea at a long distance from the shore.
Alasksi is the strongest sandstorm. It can destroy all the things in his way. It is very dangerous. It has killed more than one hundred people in the area. The Haboob is a sandstorm that often happens in the area of Sudan around Khartoum. Sandstorms, the height as 5,000 ft (1,525m), also happened, although not often in the United States.

A man once visited a temple(寺院) which was being built, where he saw a sculptor (雕塑家) making an idol (神像)of God. Suddenly he noticed a similar idol lying nearby. Surprised, he asked the sculptor,” Do you need two statues of the same idol?”
“ No,” said the sculptor without looking up, “ We need only one, but the first one got damaged during the last stage (时期).”
The gentleman examined the idol and found no damage on the outside. “ Where is the damage?” he asked.
“There is a scratch on the nose of the idol.” said the sculptor , still busy with his work.
“Where are you going to place the idol?” he asked the sculptor .
The sculptor said that it would be put on the top of a pillar(柱子) twenty feet high.
“If the idol is that high up, who is going to know that there is a scratch on the nose?” the gentleman asked.
The sculptor stopped his work, looked up at the gentleman , smiled and said ,“ I will know it.”
The moral of the story: “Excellence” is a desire from inside, not outside. Excellence is not for someone else to notice but for your own satisfaction and efficiency.
