Caring for the earth
An Exciting Job my Job is the greatest Job in the world. Where I run is rare strange place, what I see is interesting people from all over the world, and sometimes the outdoor work, sometimes in the office, sometimes work with scientific instruments, sometimes want to meet with the local people and travel. But I never get bored. Although my work is occasionally dangerous, I don't care, because the danger inspires me and makes me feel alive. Most importantly, however, through my work I can protect people from one of the world's greatest natural powers, the threat of volcanoes.
I am a volcanologist working at the Hawaii volcano observatory (HVO). My main task was to collect information about the kilauea volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in Hawaii. After gathering and assessing the information, I helped other scientists to predict where the next lava flow would flow and how fast it would flow. Our work has saved many lives, as the people can be notified of their leaving their homes as the lava flows through them. Unfortunately, it's impossible to move their homes away from the magma, so many houses are flooded or burned out.
When boiling hot rocks from the volcanic eruption and back into the ground, it causes the loss is smaller than imagine, this is because the rock falling kilauea fire near the top of the mountain. The damage caused by the volcanic lava flows down the slopes is much greater, because the lava flows down and everything is buried under the lava. But the eruption itself was spectacular, and I'll never forget the first time I saw a volcano erupting. That was the second week after I arrived in Hawaii. I had a hard day's work that day and I went to bed early. I suddenly felt the bed shake when I was asleep, and then I heard a strange sound, as if a train had driven out of my window. I didn't care about the sound because I had experienced many earthquakes in Hawaii. I was just about to sleep again when suddenly my bedroom was as bright as day. I ran out of the room and into the back garden, where I could see kilauea from a distance. On the slopes, volcanoes erupt, red hot lava erupting like fountains, pouring hundreds of meters into the air. What a wonderful sight!
On the second day of the eruption, I was lucky enough to make a close observation. I and two other sciences were sent to the top of the mountain to get off the top of the crater that formed during the eruption. Some special safety suits had been taken from the observation station earlier, so we put on our safety suits and approached the crater. The three of us looked like astronauts, and we all wore white protective suits over our bodies, helmets and special gloves, and a pair of big boots. It's not easy to wear these clothes on start, but we walked slowly to the edge of the crater and saw the red and red boiling center. In addition, they climbed down the crater to collect the magma for future research. I was the first to experience such a thing, so I stayed on top of the mountain to watch them.
Today, I'm still as enthusiastic about my work as I was when I started work. Although I have been studying volcanism for more than 20 years, I am still amazed by the magnificent view of the volcano and its potential for great destructive power.
The Lake of Heaven (tianchi) changbai mountain in northeast jilin province, this beautiful mountainous area is mostly dense forest area. Changbai mountain is the largest nature reserve in China, keeping its original state for the Chinese people and tourists from all over the world. The height of the ground varies from 700 to 2,000 meters above sea level. It is a growing area of many plants and animals. Rare animals have white cranes, black bears, leopards and Siberian tigers. Many people go to changbai mountain to study the unique flora and fauna. Others go to the mountains to see the magnificent waterfalls, or take a bath in the pool. The most attractive place in the reserve, however, is the tianchi, or lake in the sky.
Tianchi is a deep water lake formed by the crater of a dead volcano on the top of the mountain. The lake has a height of 2,194 meters and water depth of more than 200 meters. In winter, the lake is frozen. It's about an hour from the end of the road to the top. When you get to the top of the mountain you will get a return - you can see not only the clear water of the sky, but also the 16 peaks surrounding the tianchi lake.
There are many legends about tianchi, the most famous of which is the story of three young girls from the sky. They were bathing in the sky, and suddenly, a bird flew over their heads and dropped a small fruit on the dress of the youngest girl. When the girl picked up the fruit and wanted to smell it, the fruit flew into her mouth. The girl swallowed the fruit and became pregnant. After a while, she gave birth to a beautiful little boy. The boy is said to be the ancestor of the manchus, with a flair for language and a strong persuasion.
If you are lucky enough to go to the pool with your loved one, don't forget to drop a coin into the clear blue water to make sure your love is as deep and enduring as the lake.

An Exciting Job 一份具有刺激性的工作 我的工作是世界上最伟大的工作。我跑的地方是稀罕奇特的地方，我见到的是世界各地有趣味的人们，有时在室外工作，有时在办公室里，有时工作中要用科学仪器，有时要会见当地百姓和旅游人士。但是我从不感到厌烦。虽然我的工作偶尔也有危险，但是我并不在乎，因为危险能激励我，使我感到有活力。然而，最重要的是，通过我的工作能保护人们免遭世界最大的自然威力之一，也就是火山的威胁。
我是一名火山学家，在夏威夷火山观测站（HVO）工作。我的主要任务是收集有关基拉韦厄火山的信息，这是夏威夷最活跃的火山之一。收集和评估了这些信息之后，我就帮助其他科学家一起预测下次火山熔岩将往何处流，流速是多少。我们的工作拯救了许多人的生命，因为熔岩要流经之地，老百姓都可以得到离开家园的通知。遗憾的是，我们不可能把他们的家搬离岩浆流过的地方，因此，许多房屋被熔岩淹没，或者焚烧殆尽。
当滚烫沸腾的岩石从火山喷发出来并撞回地面时，它所造成的损失比想象的要小些，这是因为在岩石下落的基拉韦厄火山顶附近无人居住。而顺着山坡下流的火山熔岩造成的损失却大得多，这是因为火山岩浆所流经的地方，一切东西都被掩埋在熔岩下面了。然而火山喷发本身的确是很壮观的，我永远也忘不了我第一次看见火山喷发时的情景。那是在我到达夏威夷后的第二个星期。那天辛辛苦苦地干了一整天，我很早就上床睡觉。我在熟睡中突然感到床铺在摇晃，接着我听到一阵奇怪的声音，就好像一列火车从我的窗外行驶一样。因为我在夏威夷曾经经历过多次地震，所以对这种声音我并不在意。我刚要再睡，突然我的卧室亮如白昼。我赶紧跑出房间，来到后花园，在那儿我能远远地看见基拉韦厄火山。在山坡上，火山爆发了，红色发烫的岩浆像喷泉一样，朝天上喷射达几百米高。真是绝妙的奇景！
就在这次火山喷发的第二天，我有幸做了一次近距离的观察。我和另外两位科学被送到山顶，在离火山爆发期间形成的火山口最靠近的地方才下车。早先从观测站出发时，就带了一些特制的安全服，于是我们穿上安全服再走近火山口。我们三个人看上去就像宇航员一样，我们都穿着白色的防护服遮住全身，戴上了头盔和特别的手套，还穿了一双大靴子。穿着这些衣服走起路来实在不容易，但我们还是缓缓往火山口的边缘走去，并且向下看到了红红的沸腾的中心。另外，两人攀下火山口，去收集供日后研究用的`岩浆，我是第一次经历这样的事，所以留在山顶上观察他们。
今天，我还是像开始工作时那样，对工作充满热情。虽然我从事火山研究20多年了，但是我对火山的壮丽景色以及它那潜在的巨大破坏力至今仍然感到惊愕不已。
The Lake of Heaven 天上的湖（天池） 长白山在东北的吉林省，这个美丽的山区大部分是茂密的林区。长白山是中国最大的自然保护区，保持着它的原始状态，以供中国人民和世界各地的游客们观赏。这里地面的高度从海拔700米到2，000米不等，是多种多样动植物的生长地。珍稀动物有白鹤、黑熊、豹子和西伯利亚虎。许多人到长白山来研究特有的动植物。另外一些人则是到山里来走一走，看看那些蔚伟壮观的瀑布，或者在温水池里泡个澡。然而保护区里最有吸引力的地方则是天池，或者说是天上的湖。
天池是一个深水湖，是由山顶一个死火山的火山口形成的。湖的海拔高度为2，194米，水深超过200米，到冬天，湖面就全部结冰了。从路的末端到山顶约需一个小时。你一到达山顶就会得到回报——你不仅可以看到天池清澈如镜的湖水，而且还可以看到天池四周的16座山峰。
天池有着许多传说故事，其中最著名是从天上下凡的三位少女的故事。她们正在天池里洗澡，突然，有一只鸟飞过她们的头顶，并且，把一枚小小的果实掉在最年轻的那位少女的衣服上。当那个少女捡起那枚果实，想要去闻一闻的时候，那枚果实飞进了她的嘴里。姑娘吞食了这个果子，后来就怀了孕。过了一段时间，她生下了一个漂亮的小男孩。据说这个男孩就是满族人的祖先，具有语言天赋和很强的说服力。
如果你有幸和你所爱的人去游天池，别忘了投一枚硬币到清澈碧蓝的水中，以确保你们的爱情像湖水一样深厚、持久。
