Beijing ---- A recent Chinese blockbuster (轰动的作品) “A World Without Thieves” is based on the experiences of a young migrant worker carrying 60,000 yuan on a train packed with thieves. But while the image of a warm-hearted but somewhat naive migrant worker may have made film fans chuckle, it’s a sure bet that most of China’s migrant workers are yet to step into a cinema to admire it.
“Forty yuan a ticket? I can’t afford it,” said Shen Jie, a migrant worker at a construction site in Dongzhimen, east Beijing. Shen found it hard to remember when he last watched a film, or what it was about. “It must be 10 years ago,” he said.
Though they are the builders of the nation’s theaters and cinemas, a limited cultural life is common among China’s 120 million migrant workers.
Shen arrived from East China’s Zhejiang Province in1991. Life was better then; money seemed to come more easily. “Now, as more and more workers are rushing to the capital, it’s too hard to earn money, and none of us dare think about watching films,” he said.
For many like Shen, the dream is earning enough to pay for their children’s education so they can find jobs in the cities and say goodbye to the hardships of rural life forever. This drives them to work hard and save as much as possible. With a monthly salary of less than 500 yuan, Shen has to send money home to his little son and silver-haired parents.
In Shen’s small dormitory, which he shares with seven other co-workers, there is a well-thumbed copy of a magazine published in 1998.
A recent survey by local media revealed that 80 percent of migrant workers spent their spare time sleeping and chatting because of exhaust and a lack of income. The same survey found that 47 percent of migrant workers have to work for more than 10 hours a day. Around 40 percent do not even possess a book, and nearly 60 percent say they are dissatisfied with their cultural life.
Like many of Shen’s co-workers, reading newspapers and hanging out in Beijing’s streets provide evening entertainment.

Researchers in the United States say dust clouds from dry African deserts may be a threat to the environment and human health. They say the dust may contain many small organisms that could be dangerous to some people.
Each year, huge dust storms form in the Sahara and Sahel deserts of northern Africa. Winds carry the dust across the Atlantic Ocean. The movement of dust across the Atlantic Ocean has been increasing in recent years because of longer periods without rain in Africa.
From February to April, the dust settles in South America. From June to October, the winds change and transport the dust to North America, Central America and the Caribbean. The dust clouds travel several thousand meters above sea level. It takes five to seven days for the dust to cross the Atlantic Ocean.
Researchers have long known that the dust clouds could travel long distances. But they thought few microorganisms could survive the trip because of damaging ultraviolet radiation(紫外线) from the sun. Researchers now believe that the dust clouds block enough of the light to protect viruses, bacteria, and fungi in the dust.
Researchers say these microorganisms may be a health risk to some people. About half the bacteria and fungi that survive the trip from Africa are known to cause disease in people or plants.
More than half of the dust that reaches the United States settles in the state of Florida. For many years, it has caused the skies there to turn red. Now researchers say there may be a link between the dust storms and increased health risks in Florida. They believe the dust causes higher rates of asthma, allergies, and other breathing problems in people there. The dust also has been linked to a large increase in lung problems in at least one Caribbean nation.
Which statement about African dust storms is TRUE?
The worst thing about African dust storm is( ).
What does the underlined word “survive” mean?
The microorganisms that could survive the trip include the following EXCEPT ( ).
