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 room France who has traveled 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．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 east 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 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 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．

On May 23, six pandas left an important panda base (基地) in Wolong, southwest China’s Sichuan Province, because of damaged (损坏的) shelters and food shortages after the May 12 earthquake, a local official said.
The pandas were taken by trucks from China Giant Panda Protection and Research Center to Ya’an, another base less affected by the earthquake, said Xiong Beirong,an official of Sichuan Provincial Forestry Bureau (林业局).
Eight other pandas left for the Chengdu Research Base on May 18. They will be carried by China Southern Airlines (CSA) to Beijing, where they will stay at the Beijing Zoo, said Wolong director Zhang Hemin.
Liu Shaoyong, a leader of CSA, said the pandas were scheduled (预定) to leave Chengdu at 3 p.m. Saturday. They will travel on a Boeing 747-700 plane with bamboo and water.
“There is enough water now, but food is still a big problem. The pandas need bamboos and apples.” Xiong Beirong said.
After the earthquake, tons of bamboo shoots, apples, eggs, milk powder and medicines were brought to the center, but the supplies could only last about a week, she said.
