阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Mama and I spend mornings cleaning up the dirt that blows into our house. Mama says all the dust is due to the drought, not only here in the Oklahoma panhandle(狭长地带) but all over the Great Plains.
The dirt sifts into everything. It covers our clothes. We have to wash the dishes before each meal. It also slips into the automobiles horn (喇叭). Although Papa has fixed it, he fears the dust from the road will ruin the motor, So, we have to walk to school.
On the way to school, my sister, Faye, and I wear kerchiefs over our mouths so we don' t breathe in the dirt On days when the air is so bad that they close the school, we stay home and help Mama put sheets over the windows. But the dirt always finds a way in .
Last Sunday, there was no dirt in the air, only bright spring sunshine and a clear blue sky. After church, Papa headed out to the field to check on the cattle while Mama started dinner. Faye and I played in the yard. The temperature suddenly dropped-it felt good. The heat had been building since dawn.
Then Mama shouted from the house, “Iris, you and Faye get inside. Be quick!”
I looked to the west and saw a huge black cloud of dust, like thick smoke pouring out from a chimney. All the birds flew away. “Faye, go with Mama!” I shouted, “I’ll warn Papa.”
Faye raced, toward the house. The storm hit so fast, I barely saw her climb the porch steps. Fine sand heaved against my face and in an instant the day turned into night. I stumbled over our bicycles left carelessly in the yard. I screamed for Papa, hoping my voice would lead him back.
The dirt and sand stung my skin like a thousand bees. I needed to get to shelter. Covering my face with one hand, I felt my way toward the automobile and I opened the door. Dirt flew in with me as I pulled the door closed. Papa was still out there! I needed to help him find the automobile. Worried as I was, I managed to calm myself down.

Thanks to TV shows like Lie to Me and so-called body language experts commenting on the candidates during the American election season, a number of misunderstandings about body language have become part of modem culture. It's time to clear the decks. So here goes. Some surprising truths about body language.
Much of what the experts tell you about body language is wrong.1.Actually, gestures an mean many things. If I cross my arms, I may be signaling my defensiveness, but I may also feel cold, tired or just getting comfortable, What's more. I could be signaling all those things at once.2.. First, the pressure on experts. They have to sound definitive and give instant analyses for TV in an impatient world more interested in sound bites than truth. Second, the history of the study of body language, So it's natural for someone in this field to look at all the rest of gesturing with a bias (偏见) toward specific meanings.
3. By the time most of us are adults, we've learned to mask our true feelings because we have to get along at work, at home, and in social settings. So we pretend to be interested, we pretend to smile, we assume a calm expression when we’re actually delighted.
But the face does sometimes give away our strongest feelings. You can learn to read what are called micro-expressions- sudden appearances of true emotion through the mask of the face-with some training. 4..
To read body language accurately, don t think about it. We humans have mirror neurons (神经元) in our brains that fire when our unconscious (无意识的) minds register an emotion in someone else, then we can share it and understand it.5.When we see fear, we react instantly, and unconsciously, in order to be ready to take quick action if necessary. That unconscious expertise is your best support in reading other people's body language, because you already know what's going on. So just turn to your unconscious mind for reliable information about other people's emotional intention.
Let’s start paying attention to your own expertise; that's where the real body language insights will come from.
A. The misunderstanding comes from two sources.
B. The face is a poor place to start reading body language.
C. This special skill is an important part of our ability to survive as a species.
D. And they typically show up when we're trying to hide a very strong feeling.
E. The biggest misunderstanding is that specific gestures have specific meanings.
F. You're much better at reading the body language of people you know than any expert.
G. Your body constantly scans your surroundings and other people with your unconscious mind.
