根据短文内容,回答下列问题。
Chris is not a traditional explorer (探险者) —he usually works in an office for a large organization. Yet his job
can sometimes be as exciting and dangerous as being an explorer.
Chris works for MSF, an organization also
known as Doctors Without Borders (无国界医生). MSF sends trained doctors all over the world to help people after
a war or a disaster (灾难). Chris is a doctor from France
who has travelled to many places to organize programs that help people.
At the moment, there are over 27,000
trained medical staff taking part in MSF projects and tasks (任务). 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 (热带的) 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 task (紧急任务) following a
disaster, such as an earthquake.
But why would a doctor leave a comfortable
life and a good salary (薪水) to join MSF? According to Chris, the experience you get is a great
help in your profession. 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.
