Because of the development of agriculture, the area of land affected by sand has gradually increased. During the 1950s and 1960s the land affected by sand expanded on average into 1,600 square kilometers per year. By the 1990s, the area had reached 2,500 square kilometers per year.

Fengning City in Hebei Province and Duolun City in Inner Mongolia lie to the north of Beijing, and in the last 50 years the population of these two cities has grown by 2 to 3 times.

The Chinese government announced that it would invest more than RMB 600,000,000 to control Beijing’s sandstorms in the coming years.

Paying attention to someone in a conversation is called “attending” . It means that your ears, your eyes, your body and your feelings are all focused on that person at the time. Attending includes:
Physical Presence. Friendships are a building process. You and your friend gradually share interests, feelings and goals. Much of this is done by being together physically. Your physical presence shows that you care about your friend. It means that he or she is important to you. Focusing. Focusing means all of your attention, physically and mentally, is directed toward your friend during the whole conversation. You are facing toward your friend and your expression on the face shows you are interested. Keep the focus on your friend. Even though you may feel you have the similar personal experiences and want to tell him or her your feelings, don’t interrupt the conversation immediately, because it may take focus away from your friend and places it on you.
Looking. Remember to look with your eyes. Here is a classic example. A child is drawing while his mother cleans the kitchen. The child finishes a picture and says, “Look at this one, Mommy.”
The mother mumbles, “That’s great,” while continuing to cook the meal.
Finally the child says, “Look now, Mommy. Look with your eyes.”
Looking at another person shows that you are there for him or her during the conversation. It requires a lot of eye contact.
Allow Time for Friendships to Grow! Jan Yager, author of Friendshifts, says,“ Tried-and-true friendship takes three years to develop, because working through conflicts(冲突) will determine if a friendship has staying power and if it’s worth building between each other.”
