Have you ever seen photos of people reading or sleeping while they were floating on the water?
물위에둥둥떠있으면서독서를하거나잠을자는사람의사진을한번이라도본적이있는가?
If you have, then it's very likely that you saw pictures of people in the Dead Sea.
본적이있다면아마도사해에있는사람들의사진을보았을확률이높다.
The Dead Sea is actually a lake that is connected to a large river.
사해는사실큰강과이어진호수이다.
It is called a "sea" because of its huge size and salty water.
큰규모와염수때문에'바다'라고불린다.
It is called "dead" because it is too salty a body of water to support life;
그리고염도가너무높아생명체가살수없어'죽었다'고불린다.
it is around 30% salt, which means it is about eight times saltier than sea water.
사해는염분의농도가약30퍼센트정도인데이는바닷물보다8배정도염분이많다는것을의미한다.
Therefore, any fish unfortunately washed down from the river into the Dead Sea will immediately die.
따라서불행히도강에서사해로떠밀려내려온물고기는즉사하게될것이다.
Life does not exist in this truly "dead" lake.
정말로'죽은' 호수인사해에는생명이존재하지않는다.
By contrast, another lake connected to the same river north of the Dead Sea is full of life.
이와는반대로같은강과이어진사해북쪽의다른호수는생명으로가득차있다.
This blue freshwater lake has as many as twenty different species of fish living in it, providing a home to thousands of people and many kinds of plants and animals.
Without any way out, the Dead Sea does not share any water,and when the water dries up during the hot dry season, all the salt remains, making the sea unlivable.

An eight-year-old girl named Alex McKelvey, from Washington, started leaving surprise presents at her neighbor's door and coins in vending machines for people who might need them.
This all began when her grandmother passed away in September 2013.
이모든것은2013년9월그녀의할머니가세상을떠나면서시작되었다.
In memory of her, Alex decided to perform sixty different acts of kindness by March 22, 2014,
할머니를기리기위해Alex는2014년3월22일까지60가지의선행을베풀기로했다.
which would have been her grandmother's sixtieth birthday.
(할머니가살아계셨다면) 할머니의60번째생일이되었을것이다.
When she had completed this, she raised the bar further to perform six hundred acts of kindness by the same date the following year.
이를다실천한후에그녀는이듬해같은날까지600가지의선행을하기로목표치를더높였다.
During that year, she donated books and magazines that she had already read to the local hospital, gave out laundry kits with soap and coins, and volunteered regularly.
If we include our talents, our positive energy, and our kindness in the things that we can donate, there can be so many different ways of donating in our daily life.
Remember, wherever you live, whatever you do, and no matter how much money you have, you can always find a way to contribute to making the world better.
