    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 just 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. Chris is a doctor from France who has travelled to many places to organize programmes that help people.

At the moment, there are over 27,000 trained doctors and nurses 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 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 following a disaster, such as an earthquake.

    But why would a doctor leave a comfortable life and a good pay to join MSF? According to Chris, the experience you gain is a great help in your work. 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. Above all, at the end of each task, you have made a real difference to people's lives.

(1)、Does Chris work for a large organization?
(2)、When does MSF send trained doctors all over the world to help people?
(3)、How many doctors and nurses are taking part in MSF projects and tasks?
(4)、What kind of doctors are greatly needed in Africa?
(5)、Why is an MSF doctor's job exciting and dangerous?

    In early spring, the changing temperature usually makes a number of Chinese people uncomfortable. Cold air, bringing rain or even snow, easily tears up(破坏) the warmth of the spring within a night(一夜之间).

    However, with the coming of Guyu-the Grain(谷物) Rain, the blue sky and gentle winds would finally stay. Falling usually on or around April 20 every year, Guyu is the sixth of the 24 solar terms(节气). It means the beginning of a lively summer and people get busy from now on.

    Sow(播种) grains

    This is an important period of the growth of grains. The ancient Chinese already knew that as Guyu comes, the weather will become warm enough for sowing. The farmers usually catch the chance to plant rice, corn and beans.

    Hope for safety and harvest

    For those living near the sea, they will hold some ceremonies(仪式) on Guyu, hoping for safety as well as harvest during the coming fishing season.

    Watch the peony

    It's also a great time to see the peony(牡丹), which is known as “the Queen of All Flowers” in Chinese culture. As a result, watching peonies becomes one of the most enjoyable activities for many. The flower is said to be the favourite of Empress(女皇) Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty, who was the only woman ruler in Chinese history.

    Pick tea leaves

    Tea leaves picked before Guyu are among the best tea leaves. People believe that the tea leaves picked on the day of Guyu can make eyes clear and drive away bad luck. So the habit of drinking tea at this time of year has become a tradition in some places of China.

    May 12th, 2018 is the 10th anniversary of Wenchuan Earthquake. Many of us may have remembered what happened on May 12th, 2008. The devastating 7.9 magnitude Sichuan earthquake which killed about 90, 000 people in western China. It has been concerned(担忧) widely about what we can do when we encounter(遭遇) certain accidents. Therefore, how to deal with accidents in our daily life?

    Earthquake is the first thing that I am going to talk about. Firstly, you need to rush to open space quickly if you are in a lower floor. Meanwhile, you should avoid trees or wires around you. On the contrary (相反), you need to stay in a corner which seems firm if you are in a higher building. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}You should keep your body safe and wait for others to help you.

    When it comes to fire, you need to distinguish the root of the fire and find out security exits. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}Then you should crawl (爬行)on the floor. Do not use elevators or any electronic equipments.

    Another accident is drowning. Every summer, about 5, 000 kids die because of swimming alone in the river or the lake. Experts say that we have the more possibilities of drowning if we struggle as possible as we can. So what we should do is: “{#blank#}3{#/blank#}” The summer holiday is coming. My dear friend, take care of yourself.

    In a word, all kinds of accidents will happen in our daily life. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}We should believe that the rate of danger can be minimized(机会少)and we can not only get a chance to save ourselves but also help more others if we learn about how to deal with them in the first place.

A. The most necessary thing is to keep calm and find the exact way

B. Do not be a jumper!

C. To take a deep breath, lie on the water and wait for others to save us.

D. The best way is to cover your nose and mouth with a wet towel.
