What do you think is the most difficult thing for her to do? 7.

What are the reasons why people there live such poor and terrible lives? Step 2 Further Reading 1. Listening for further information 2. Questions: Para 1 1) How did she help? Set up feeding centers to ensure that people got food and we checked the health of babies to make sure they were putting on weight. We had a vaccination campaign to stop children dying from measles. 2) What dangers did she face?

Fighting in villages far from the city; looking out for bullets and running from one place to another became way of life; water borne diseases such as malaria and typhoid; mud and water everywhere, making it difficult to travel from place to place. Para 2

1) Where was the A temporary clinic?

In a vacant health center in the north side of the town. 2) What problems can it solve? People who have regular medication cannot get hold of it in a disaster such as this. Minor injuries also need to be taken care of , especially as it is so wet. 3) What are other problems they must face?

In the rest of the city, shelter and access to food and clean water are big problems.

The fields and harvest have been destroyed and so malnutrition will be a problem in the future. People have started to worry about that they will not get enough food. Para 3 1. How do they communicate? By speaking English or French, or using acting skills. 2. What are horrible things for her? It is quite horrible to imagine losing everything, including some of your family. That was a really horrible job to bury the dead bodies as quickly as possible to stop disease spreading. Para 4 1. What is the main idea of this paragraph? About the MSF nurse’s feelings of working there.

2. Does she enjoy the experience of working there? Why? Yes. This experience makes her appreciate all the things she has and gives her the chance to see things from another side.

Step 4. Language focus 1.

Arrived here to find everything was in chaos.

（1）不定式

to find 作结果状语，在英语中常见。如：

He hurried home, only to find his wife dead. 他匆忙赶到家，发现他妻子已死。

I awoke to find my truck gone. 我醒来发现箱子不见了。

He searched the room only to find nothing. 他搜索了房间，没发现什么。

（2）chaos

混乱：杂乱的一堆；乱成一团：

The desk was a chaos of papers and unopened letters. 桌上杂乱地堆放着一些纸张和未拆的信。

in chaos

杂乱、混乱、纷乱

The kitchen was in chaos. After the war, the whole Iraq was in chaos.

2. Many of the people have fled to the mountains to escape the floods.

escape和flee两个单词均表示“逃”或“逃跑”的意思，但后者更强调在紧急情况下仓促逃跑之意。

The enemy soldiers were fleeing in all directions, but few of them could escape.

误点剖析

误：However four men were not quick enough to escape from the flames. 分析：这是一句错句。escape在这儿是及物动词，意思是“逃脱；逃避”，后面直接跟名词或动词v-ing形式。

例如：

You were lucky enough to escape punishment.

你的运气很好，免受惩罚。

He narrowly escaped death.

他是九死一生。

There's no way to escape doing the work.

无法逃避做这项工作。

类似用法的词还有：flee, survive, serve等。注意下列正误句子的比较：

错误句：Why does she always flee from any kind of responsibility? 正确句：Why does she always flee any kind of responsibility?

她为什么总是逃避责任？

错误句：Did anyone survive from the earthquake? 正确句：Did anyone survive the earthquake?

地震后，有幸存者吗？

错误句：You should serve for your country. 正确句：You should serve your country.你应该为自己国家服务。
