Question

Chris is not a traditional explorer（探險(xiǎn)者）----he usually works in an office for a large organization. Yet his job can sometimes be just as exciting and dangerous as being an explorer.

Chris works for MSF, an organization also known as Doctors Without Borders (無國界醫(yī)生). MSF sends trained doctors all over the world to help people after a war or a disaster. Chris is a doctor from France who has travelled to many places to organize programmes that help people.

At the moment, there are over 27,000 trained medical staff taking part in MSF projects and tasks. The organization received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999. All kinds of doctors can volunteer for MSF. They need to be prepared to go almost anywhere in the world and, of course, they should expect difficult conditions. Doctors with experience in tropical（熱帶的）diseases are especially useful because most of MSF’s work is in Africa. When MSF accepts a doctor for a task, he has to go for at least six months. When doctors have completed a few tasks, they might be sent on an emergency（緊急的） task following a disaster, such as an earthquake.

But why would a doctor leave a comfortable life and a good salary（工資） to join MSF? According to Chris, the experience you gain is a great help in your career. Besides, just like the explorers of the past, you need to keep an open mind and learn to mix well with the people you meet. Most importantly, at the end of each task, you have made a real difference to people’s lives.

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文給我們講述的是很多醫(yī)生加入了MSF組織，去世界各地幫助有需要的人。這個(gè)組織獲得了1999年諾貝爾和平獎(jiǎng)。文章中給我們具體的舉了一個(gè)例子，是關(guān)于Chris的。他覺得從參加這個(gè)組織所獲得的經(jīng)歷對他的職業(yè)是有幫助的。

1.根據(jù)短文的開頭he usually works in an office for a large organization可知，Chris為一個(gè)大的組織工作。故這個(gè)問題的答案是肯定的。

2.根據(jù)短文中MSF sends trained doctors all over the world to help people after a war or a disaster.可知，在戰(zhàn)爭或?yàn)?zāi)難之后，MSF組織向全世界派送經(jīng)過培訓(xùn)的醫(yī)生，去幫助那里的人們。由此可知答案是After a war or disaster。

3.根據(jù)短文第三段中At the moment, there are over 27,000 trained medical staff taking part in MSF projects and tasks.可知，現(xiàn)在參加MSF組織的項(xiàng)目和任務(wù)的有超過27,000人。

4.根據(jù)短文中Doctors with experience in tropical（熱帶的）diseases are especially useful because most of MSF’s work is in Africa.可知，在非洲，對于熱帶地區(qū)的疾病有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的醫(yī)生是極其需要的。

5.根據(jù)短文的最后一句話Most importantly, at the end of each task, you have made a real difference to people’s lives.可知，通過Chris的例子，作者告訴我們，在他們每一次認(rèn)任務(wù)之后，你對人們的生活有重要的影響。
