听力原文: Were you the first or the last child in you family? Or were you a middle or an only child? Some people think it matters where you were born in your family. But there axe different ideas about what birth order means. Some people say that oldest children are smart and strong-willed. They are very likely to be successful. The reason for this is simple. Parents have a lot of time for their first child, and they give him or her a lot of attention. So this child is very likely to do well. An only child will succeed for the same reason. What happens to the other children in the family? Middle children don't get so much attention, so they don't feel that important. If a family has many children, the middle one sometimes gets lost in the crowd. The youngest child, though, often gets special treatment. He or she is the baby. Often this child grows up to be funny and charming. Do you believe these ideas of birth order too? A recent study saw things quite differently. The study found that first children believed in family rules. They didn't take many chances in their lives. They usually followed orders. Rules didn't mean as much to later children in the family. They went out and followed their own ideas. They took chances and they often did better in life.
According to common belief, in what way are the first child and the only child alike?

A. Their parents pay a lot of attention to them.
B. Their ability is the same.
C. Their family have the same many people.
D. They are happy.

Dong Xuhui, director of the sandstorm research group under the administration, said the sandstorm that invaded Beijing this week was the most severe since the group began conduction sandstorm research in 1995. "In some sandstorms in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, visibility had been lowered to less than 1 meter," Dong said.
The administration's satellite sandstorm supervision system showed that sand and dust drifted at about 2,500 to 3,500 meters above the ground, affecting Beijing for 51 consecutive hours. "The sand and dust particles in the air are relatively small, so they could easily invade people's breathing systems." Dong said, "So it is better to stay indoor in such weather."
Unfortunately, there are no effective ways to stop or decrease the frequency of sandstorms in the near future. Gao Jixi, a researcher with the China Environmental Science Institute, suggested that the government address that the overall problem as part of its environmental protection policy.
Though protective forests in North China are expected to grow soon, Gao said that drifting sands at high altitudes could still invade most cities. "We should consider the environment in northern and western China as a whole when adopting related environmental protection policies," Gao suggested.
He said governments in the relevant provinces and autonomous regions should speed up their industrial restructuring and firmly put a stop to industrial practices that harm the environment. Gao said some hasty tree planting activities should also be stopped because many of tree species have now been found not to match the local soil. "Planting more trees does not mean the improvement of the environment," he said.
Gao was invited to present an environmental report to premier Zhu last year. Gao had advocated the building of a large ecological system in northern and western China to resist sandstorm.
He objected to environmental stress caused by humans interfering with nature. "We should respect nature's rules by restoring the original ecological systems in those regions." Gao said. Following that principle would be the best way to fight sandstorms, he added.
What's the main idea of this article?

A. Sandstorms blow 300,000 tons of dust into Beijing.
B. Sandstorms are threatening human's life.
C. There is no effective way to stop sandstorms in the near future.
D. B and C.
