Doctors Without Borders

閱讀下面的短文，選擇正確答案。

Chris is not a traditional explorer—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 ．Since 1971，MSF has sent trained doctors all over the world to help people who have suffered from disasters，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 task following a disaster，sch 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.

參考譯文

醫(yī)生無國界 克里斯并不是傳統(tǒng)意義上的探險者——他經(jīng)常在辦公室為一家大型機(jī)構(gòu)工作。然而，克里斯的工作就像探險者那樣既刺激又驚險。

克里斯為MSF（法語Medecins Sans Frontieres的縮寫 ）工作，這是一家名為“醫(yī)生無國界”的組織。自1971年始，MSF就派遣訓(xùn)練有素的醫(yī)生前往世界各地，去幫助那些正在遭受戰(zhàn)爭、疾病之類災(zāi)難的人們?？死锼故且幻麃碜苑▏尼t(yī)生，他去過很多地方，組織幫助當(dāng)?shù)厝说幕顒印?/p>

那時已有27000多名訓(xùn)練有素的醫(yī)生加入MSF項目中。該組織于1999年榮獲諾貝爾和平獎。各種類型的醫(yī)生都可以志愿為MSF工作。他們必須做好奔赴世界各地的準(zhǔn)備，當(dāng)然，他們也會碰到困難。MSF的大多數(shù)工作都在非洲。當(dāng)MSF選派一名醫(yī)生去完成任務(wù)時，他們至少得工作6個月。當(dāng)醫(yī)生完成一些工作后，他們可能被委派去執(zhí)行地震等災(zāi)后緊急救援的任務(wù)。

但這些醫(yī)生為什么會拋棄舒適的生活和不錯的薪水加入MSF呢？按照克里斯的說法，他們體驗的這段經(jīng)歷對自己的人生有很大幫助。而且，和過去的探險家一樣，他們必須保持開闊的思維，學(xué)會和遇到的人友好相處。在結(jié)束任務(wù)時，他們可以說，他們對人們的生活產(chǎn)生了真正的影響。
