Jackie Chan was born in Hong Kong, China, on April 7th, 1954. His parents left the mainland of China 1 Hong Kong a short time before he was born. His parents named him "Chan Kongsang"   , 2 means "born in Hong Kong"   . They wanted to celebrate a 3 trip to Hong Kong.

    At first, Jackie's family lived in the French Embassy(大使馆). His 4 was a cook, and his mother was a housekeeper. When Jackie was seven years old, his family moved to Australia. His father got a job in the American Embassy. Later, back in Hong Kong, Jackie's father 5him to the China Drama Academy(戏剧学院). Jackie studied and worked 19 hours a day. The students 6 kung fu and learned how to do many stunts(特技表演) there.

    When he was 17, he began to do 7 stunts for films. In the early 1980s, he went to Hollywood, but he wasn't very 8. He went on to make films in Hong Kong and had great success. Finally, in 1995, he became 9 in the USA. Today, he has 10 Chinese and American fans, and earns millions of dollars from his films.

    A train stopped at a small station. An old man on the train1out of the window and2a woman. The woman was selling cakes，and many people from3train were buying them.

      The bottle floated for weeks. Finally, it got to the Gulf of Mexico. It was caught by a 6 Mexican boy Pablo and his father. They were so poor that they sometimes had nothing to eat.

I went to Grand Canyon (大峡谷) National Park in July 2012 for the firsttime and I knew I wanted to work there as a park ranger（管理员）. Park rangers protect the park's animals, plants, land, buildings, andpeople.

Now, as a park ranger forGrand Canyon National Park, I share the science, history and beauty of this parkwith thousands of visitors from around the world.

National parks are like outdoormuseums. Park rangers have all kinds of jobs, depending on where they work and whatthey studied during college. I teach school field trips（实地考察）, work at visitor centers and helppeople stay safe during their visit.

My favorite part of my jobis showing children their first look at the Grand Canyon during school field trips.Children are often amazed at the canyon's size and colors. Sometimes, they thinkit looks like a painting.

Being a park ranger requiresa lot of energy. I walk several miles and talk with hundreds of people each day.Park rangers must enjoy working with people and speaking in front of groups. Nearly5 million people visit Grand Canyon National Park every year.

Park rangers must also beprepared for any situation. Recently, I broke a traffic jam(堵塞). It was caused by a huge elk（麋鹿）standing in the road. Elks can become dangerous when they get scared,so I asked visitors to stop their cars and take pictures from far away. Believeit or not, I also help protect people from monkeys. It is not allowed to feed animalsin national parks. But sometimes, visitors try to feed monkeys.
