Chris is not a traditional explorer（探險者）—he usually works in an office for a large organization（機(jī)構(gòu)）. But 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(zāi)難）. Chris is a doctor from France who has travelled to many places to help the people.

At the moment, there are over 27,000 trained medical members taking part in MSF projects and tasks. 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. When MSF accepts a doctor for a task, he or she has to go for at least six months. When doctors have completed a few tasks, they might be sent on another task, such as an earthquake.

But why would a doctor leave a comfortable life and a good salary to join MSF? According to Chris, the experience you gain 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 get on well with the people you meet. Most importantly, at the end of each task, you have made a real difference to people's lives.

However, there was something unfriendly between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression（侵略, 好斗）and fighting were found in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body languages are just different. For example, when a cat turns its head away, it means aggression. while a dog doing the same means submission（順從）.

In homes with cats and dogs living in peace, researchers found a surprising behavior（行為）. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk "Dog", and dogs can learn how to talk"Cat".

The interesting thing is that both cats and dogs seem to become smarter. They can learn to read each other's body languages, suggesting that the two may have more in common（共同的）than was expected（預(yù)料）. If they understand each other's body language very well, cats and dogs can play together, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa.

The importance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond（超過）pets—to people who don't get along well, including neighbours, workmates at work, and even countries. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.

My disadvantages: I was very thin; I wasn't good at math; I talked too much; I was too proud and so on. At last. I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.

He listened to me quietly, and asked. "Are those things true or not? Jane. didn't you ever think about what you're really like?" Then he added, "Well, you have that girl's opinions. Make a list of everything she said and mark（做標(biāo)記）the true points."

I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I found out that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn't change, like being very thin, but many I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a clear picture of myself.

When something said about you is true, you'll find it will be of great help to you. Don't shut your ears. Listen to the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do."

France is the largest country in Western Europe. It has a population of over 66 million. The country is home to many famous places of interest, like the River Seine as well as the Eiffel Tower.

Many visitors also come for the country's art. Sculptor(雕刻家)Auguste Rodin and painter Claude Monet once created their great works here. If you visit France today, it is not a surprise to meet street artists in the city or come across a singer in the subway.

No visit to Paris is complete without a trip to Louvre, one of the largest and most famous museums in the world. Inside, there are 35 , 000 works of art, such as the painting Mona Lisa by Da Vinci and the statue David by Michelangelo. It would take nine months to enjoy all the pieces.

Besides, French food is world famous. Bread is very important in France. The best known French bread is called a baguette(法棍面包).They are long, delicious and taste salty. Snails are also a must-have here. French people eat 40 , 000 tons of snails every year!
