21、.BYou can walk around as usual.CThere is no need to avoid dust.DPeople can see everything clearly.A细节理解题。根据最后一段“In mild (轻微的) dust storms，.The best thing to do is find a safe place in a building.”可知沙尘暴没那么强时，最好的办法是在建筑物里找一个安全的地方。故选择A项。.阅读七选五Tips for Being a Good Team MemberTeam working is such an impo
