Doctors Without Borders(国界)

　　Chris is not a traditional explorer(探险家)－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(遭受灾难), 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(紧急的)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)

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?
[　　]

High in the mountains, and deep in the forest, lives a lake with many plants and animals in and around her. The plants and animals have enough food and clean water to keep them healthy. The wind carries pure air, and the rain comes down clear and clean.

But recently, Lucy Lake and her friends haven’t been feeling very well. All the plants and animals get together to talk about the problem. “Why are we sick?” “What can we do?” ask all of them. No one has any answers.

Just then two hikers appear. The animals tell them about their problems. “Can you help us?” they ask. “Yes,” one hiker says. “I think it’s because of acid rain.”

“Acid rain comes from chemicals(化学物质) in the air. The pollution comes from factories, cars and trucks.”

“So, although I don’t want to, I help the pollution travel through the air!” says the wind. “And I carry it to the land!” cries the rain.

“If you can help us think of some solutions(解决方法), we will send a message to tell people how to clean up our environment,” one hiker says.

With the help of the plants and animals, the two hikers make a list of ideas for saving Lucy Lake and her friends.

Time passes, and the forest and lake begin to feel a little better.

The next time the hikers climb up the mountains to Lucy Lake, they smile at what they find. “We’re glad things have started to change,” one hiker says. “And we’re glad you helped us make a difference,” says the other.

A．polluted

C．cold

D．cool

A．scientists

B．teachers

C．doctors

D．reporters

3.____ have (has) nothing to do with the cause of acid rain.

A．The rain

B．Human beings

C．The wind

D．The plants and animals

4.The underlined word “you” refers to (指) ____.

A．Lucy Lake	B．the plants and animals
C．one of the two hikers	D．the wind and the rain

5.Which of the following is NOT true?

A．Acid rain is very harmful only to plants and animals.
