二、阅读理解（共4小题；每小题5分，满分20分）
All day long, at an MSF distribution centre, humanitarian(人道主义的) supplies make their way to some of the most dangerous spots on the planet. Specially marked boxes are being packed with medicines and supplies, which are on their way to Ebola-affected Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.
Kathy Dedieu became a sanitation (卫生设备) and water engineer for MSF a decade ago. She has just returned from Liberia, where MSF is working to help reopen the hospitals. Her job is to make sure that clean parts of the hospitals are kept separate from areas that are polluted. She says the situation there is a complete disaster. “Even during the war, I haven't seen a health system close so fast. The hospitals are empty because the health staff just aren't there,” she says. Dedieu was in Liberia during that country's civil war in 2003.
MSF was founded in 1971 by a group of doctors and journalists. “I remember being criticised in the1980s as a medical cowboy,” says Rony Brauman, who headed MSF from 1982 to 1994. “We were blamed for riding in these countries, distributing our pills and creating unreasonable expectations.” But Brauman says that's the nature of health care. “We raise expectations; we create new diseases by treating old diseases,” Brauman says. That's how it works in general. It was a kind of fight. MSF won that fight.
MSF doctor Cameron Bopp says he's worked with other humanitarian organisations but is always impressed by the level of devotion and motivation he's found at MSF. "The main thing that's different about MSF from the point of view that someone like me who goes out and works in the field holds is that when there's an emergency, other organisations say, 'Whoa, this is an emergency. We're gonna be there as soon as we get funding.' But MSF has the funding, he says. “We start right away.” 90% of MSF's funding comes from a devoted base of five million donors. That gives it the independence to speak out and do what's really needed.
11.What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. Showing the places affected by Ebola.
B. Exploring a distribution centre of MSF.
C. Introducing one of the functions of MSF.
D. Encouraging donations to Ebola-affected areas.
12.What can we learn about Kathy Dedieu
A. She is working in Liberia.
B. She was once a soldier in the civil war.
C. She founded MSF with many other doctors.
D. She helps with pollution prevention in hospitals.
13.What was people's attitude to MSF in the early years
A.Optimistic. B. Uncaring. C. Disapproving. D. Curious.
14.How is MSF different from other humanitarian organisations according to Cameron
A. It has a lot of faithful donors.
B. lt involves many journalists.
C. It is operated by doctors themselves.
D. It obtains funding from the government.

Some years ago I was offered a writing task that would require three months of travel through Europe. I had been abroad a couple of times, but I could hardly claim to know my way around the continent (大陆). Moreover, my knowledge of foreign languages was limited to a little college French.
I hesitated. How would I, unable to speak the language, totally unfamiliar with local geography or transportation systems, set up interviews and do research It seemed impossible, and with much regret I sat down to write a letter begging oft. Halfway through, a thought ran through my mind: You can't learn if you don't try. So I accepted the assignment.
There were some bad moments. But by the time I had finished the trip I was an experienced traveller. And ever since, I have never hesitated to head for even the most remote places, without guides or even advance bookings, confident that somehow I will manage. The point is that something new and different, is almost always by definition (必然)scary. But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning gathers, the world opens to you.
I've learnt to ski at 40, and flown up the Rhine River in a balloon. And I know I’ll go on doing such things. It's not because I'm braver or more daring than others. I'm not. But I’ll accept anxiety as another name for challenge and I believe I can achieve wonders.
