Chris is not a traditional explorer（探險者）— he usually works in an office for a large organization. Yet his job can sometimes be just as exciting and dangerous as being an explorer.

Chris works for MSF, an organization also known as Doctors Without Borders (無國界醫(yī)生). MSF sends trained doctors all over the world to help people after a war or a disaster(災難). 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 stall taking part in MSF projects and tasks. The organization received the Nobel Peace Prize last year. 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（熱帶的）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(緊急) task following a disaster, such as an earthquake.

But why would a doctor leave a comfortable life to join MSF? According to Chris, the experience you get is a great help in your career. 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.

Once there was a young fisherwoman living near a place called Jingbo Lake. She made a living by fishing. Her only problem was that when fishing she often felt bad because of her long wide clothes.
