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 another task, such as an earthquake.
But why would a doctor leave a life and a good pay to 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 the people you meet. Above all, at the end of each task, you have made a real to people's lives.

Most of the boys want to be explorers, and the two brothers are among them. For Ollbie and Harr y, life is an adventure. For the past several years, the brothers have been working to1,a list of 500 challenges and experiences.
"The idea came about actually from the boys," their father, MacNeill Ferguson, said. "The boys were just asked one day if they could come up with some cool things for us to do as a family. They2some impossible ideas firstly, like going on a trip to Mars, International Sausage Day and all kinds of3kids' requests. They built the list to a hundred, then kept finding new things they wanted to go and try... until it go tup to 500." They're all listed on the brothers Facebook page.
So far, they have built an igloo(圆顶小屋)，explored the wilderness, and sent their Lego. men to the depths of the ocean and into outer space. Perhaps their biggest adventure is playing outright now on the high seas. Last year, Ollbie and Harry's " Adventure", one of their toyshops4from the Scottish coast. It sailed across the North Sea to Scandinavia. It then began a ride on a Norwegian boat and was launched again.5 ， they had equipped the toy ship with a tracking device(跟踪器). It all owed the brothers to know every step of the sailing well. But the battery on the tracking device is becoming weak, so Harry and Ollbie hope a passing ship notice their boat and is able to recharge(充电).its battery, allowing the trip to continue.
"I want it to go to Australia because that would be halfway around the world, and there's lots of beaches there, " Ollbie said.
"Harry, where would you like the boat to go?" Ferguson asked. Without any6Harry replied, "that would be China because we all love China.' He thought that even there were so many difficulties the boat would reach China.
Although most of us are now stuck at home due to the virus outbreak, there are still many people trying to do some sports not only to kill time, but also to help themselves and others stay a this difficult period.
Gymnasiums and basketball courts are c , so many of us choose to keep fit at home, which helps us improve our immunity (免疫力).
Professional guide

For example, an online exercise platform called Be Fit offers online exercise lessons for people of different ages. They're easy to f and all you need is some basic fitness equipment, like a yoga mat (瑜伽垫). Some fitness clubs have had to shut up their business in their training ground. But they've encouraged their personal trainers to make videos and share them on social media platforms for people who exercise at home.
Online PE classes
Shanghai started online courses for students in March, i PE classes. PE teachers use live streaming (直播) soft wares or record video clips as guidance for students. Li Xiao, a PE teacher, has made an exercise video for her students. She told us that she advised her students to make use of simple tools, such as plastic bottles to do the exercises. The exercise doesn't require muchs and is suitable for exercising at home.
Playing games
Some parents choose to play t games they played in their childhood to keep children positive, such as throwing darts (掷飞标)，pinching marbles (夹弹珠). For example, a couple from Shantou, Guangdong recreated childhood games for their children. The children throw homemade cardboard hoops (圈) over small objects, such as wine bottles. In this way, the whole family got involved.
What homework did you do in the winter holiday? Now homework is not simply about exercises. It can be researches, experiments and even work experiences. Take a look at some students' special homework.
Studying snacks
One day, Wang Yang, from Shanghai Oriental School, was doing his biology homework. His teacher asked them to research the nutrients of different snacks. He bought10 kinds of snacks. Then he checked their ngredient(成分) lists one by one and wrote down the amount of sugar, fat and so on, in each. "We are told it is not good to eat too many snacks. They have high calories(卡路里). But we always pay no attention to it," he said. After analyzing(分析) each snack's ingredients, he realized it was true.
WangYang spent three days on the homework. But he said it was interesting. "'Ilearned a lot. I collected the data(数据), created forms and wrote the report by myself." Physics in real life
With some plasticine (橡皮泥), steel balls, aping—pong ball, could you make a tumbler(不倒翁)? This is the physics homework of Huang Jiali, 14, of Shanghai 54 Middle School.
Huangfirst cut the ping pong ball in half. Then she put the plasticine and steelballs into one of them. The bottom of the tumbler was made. Finally, she alsoused the paper to make the "hat". "Next term, we will learn about the center of gravity (重心) This homework made memore curious about it," she said.
Learning on the job
WhileWang and Huang did their homework at home, Ding Ling, 15, of No. 5 Middle School, had to go outside. She worked as a guide in the local museum. "Everyone at our school has to take part in volunteering or other activities, "she said.
Ding was a guide in the gallery(展馆) of coins. She got brochures(小册子) from the museum. In order to make the introduction more vividly, she still did research and added more information to her introduction. She worked three hours a day and had no time to take a break. But she felt it was a meaningful experience, "I learned how to do some research, and my communication skills are also improved." she said.
