    Chris is not a traditional explorer (探險(xiǎn)家) -- he usually works in an office for a large organization.
However, Chris' job can be just as exciting and dangerous as being an explorer.
    Chris works for MSF, an organization also known as.Doctors Without Borders. Since1971, MSF has
sent trained doctors all over the world to help people who have suffered from disasters (遭受災(zāi)難), such
as wars and illnesses. Chris is a doctor from France who has traveled to many places to organize programs
that help people.
    At the moment, over 27,000 trained doctors have taken part in MSF projects. The organization received
the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999. All kinds of doctors can volunteer for MSF. They need to be ready to go
almost anywhere in the world and, of course, they should face difficulties. Most of MSF's work is in Africa.
When MSF chooses a doctor for a task, they have 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 doctors leave a comfortable life and a good pay to join MSF? According to Chris, the
experience they have is a great help in their life. What's more, just like the explorers of the past, they need to
keep an open mind and learn to get on well with the people they meet. One thing that they can say at the end
of any task is that they have made a real difference to people's lives.
1. What may MSF's work be like?
A. Tiring and boring.
B. Exciting and dangerous.
C. Relaxing and colorful.
D. Peaceful and comfortable.
2. As a volunteer doctor for MSF, he or she should ______.
A. have worked in Africa for six months
B. have been sent on an emergency task
C. be ready to work for a task for at least half a year
D. have suffered from wars, illnesses or other disasters
3. Why would doctors like to join MSF?
A. Because they can get a good pay.
B. Because they can have a comfortable life.
C. Because they can help others and get experience.
D. Because they can travel abroad with their families.
4. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Chris is a doctor who has organized programs to help people.
B. MSF received the Nobel Peace Prize for helping poor countries.
C. Volunteer doctors make a real difference to their own lives in MSF.
D. MSF offers medical help to people who have suffered from disasters.

     14-year-old Jason Morgan talks about an exciting science project.
     Last month I got the chance to take part in an underwater research project in an area of the Gulf of
Mexico called the Flower Gardens. A team of professional researchers' led by the scientist Dr Matt Phillips,
was trying to learn more about the fish and different creatures that live in this part of the sea. The Flower
Gardens are a long way from the shore (海岸) and we spent three days on a boat.
     The team used a piece of underwater equipment called ROV to collect information. The ROV was great fun. It was controlled by a computer on the boat, and I was allowed to operate it a few times. 
     However, the thing I enjoyed most was diving (潛水) into the water. At first, I was quite scared---mainly
because I couldn' t see land in any direction. But as soon as I jumped into the water, I wasn't afraid anymore.
It was amazing to see the colorful fish swimming around and I could see all the ways to the Flower Gardens,
which are almost 30 meters down. I will never forget the Flower Gardens. The trip was like a holiday but I also
learnt new things about science and research projects. It was a great opportunity and it has made me think
about my goals (目標(biāo)) in life. The experience will help me work harder to become a scientist.

B. It has improved the way he works in a team.
C. It has made him more interested in the sea.
D. It has encouraged him to work harder towards his goals.
5. What might Jason write in his diary about the trip?
A. It was interesting to work with Dr Phillips and his team but I wish someone else had been on the trip.
B. The Flower Gardens are beautiful but scientists are worried that pollution are worried that pollution.
C. The trip was like a holiday and I saw some amazing fish. The only thing I dislike was
     collecting information about the sea.
