    Do you know oil platforms (石油钻井平台)? They pump out (大量生产) oil from under the ocean (海洋). There can be over 100 people living and working on an oil platform.

    The people on oil platforms do a number of different jobs. There are engineers, cooks, doctors, cleaners, etc. But the roughnecks (石油钻井工人) have the hardest job. It's hard, dangerous work.

    There are no weekends on oil platforms. Usually, people work every day for two weeks. Then they go back to land to have two or three weeks off from work.

    The people on oil platforms can play games and watch TV when they don't work or sleep. There's not much space, and you can't just go for a walk.

    Oil platforms are dangerous places. Everyone needs to work carefully.An accident (事故)on the platform Deepwater Horizon in 2010 killed eleven people and a lot of oil went into the ocean.

    After that accident, some people said that oil platforms were just too dangerous.So we still need people to work in these difficult, dangerous places.

    Once there was a very rich man. He had a lot of money, he wasn't happy at all. He didn't know the purpose (目标) of his life. So the rich man asked a wise old man for help.

    The old man him to a window and asked him, "What can you see the glass (玻璃)?"

    The man said, "I can see people coming and going along the street. And there is a poor man food."

    Then the old man took him to a large mirror and said," Now look in the mirror and me what you see."

    After looking at the mirror for some time, the man said, "I can see myself."

    The old man looked at the rich man，smiled and said, "Did you find that the glass of the window and the mirror are made of the something? The only is that there is a silver coating(银色涂层) on the mirror. As a result, all you can see is in the mirror. It is the same with humans. You will be able to see the others when you take away that silver coating. It covers (遮住) your When you can see the others and feel compassion (同情) and love for them, you'll find the purpose of your life and feel happy."
