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. Since1971, 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, 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.
小題1: What may MSF's work be like?
A．Tiring and boring.
B．Exciting and dangerous.
C．Relaxing and colorful.
D．Peaceful and comfortable.
小題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
小題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.
小題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.

For many American teenagers, having a part-time job is an important part of growing up. A part-time job can teach teenagers important skills like responsibility（責任）， independence（獨立），teamwork and leadership.
Young people can expand(擴大) their social circles beyond their classmates by making friends with co-workers. And many teenagers find that earning their own money gives them a sense of pride and freedom.
The US Department of Labor allows teenagers to apply for jobs at the age of 14. Popular part-time jobs include working in ice cream stores, coffee shops, and clothing stores. During the school year, teenagers may go to work a few times a week after their classes get out, then work for longer on the weekends.
In the summer, top jobs for teens include working at camps, swimming pools and amusement parks. These jobs are great for young people who want to be active and have fun while making money.
A favorite job for many teens is babysitting(臨時替人看小孩), and they can start before 14 if the parents agree. After the children are sleeping and before the parents come home, babysitters have lots of freedom.
As long as they stay in the house and make sure the kids are okay, babysitters can do their homework, enjoy a snack, watch TV, or talk on the phone with friends.
It can be stressful to balance school, homework, and a part-time job. Still, many American teenagers value their work experience and the skills they gain on the job.
