3. What else do you know about it
Since receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has been in the spotlight, with more than 6.3 million donors worldwide.
Ebola is a virus that can infect humans and other primates (灵长目动物). Symptoms usually start two days to three weeks following infection, and include fever, sore throat, muscular pain and headaches. Vomiting, diarrhoea and rash (腹泻和皮疹) often follow, along with reduced liver and kidney function. Internal and external bleeding may also occur at this point.
The average death rate of those infected is about 50%. Ebola was first identified in 1976 in a village near the Ebola River, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Outbreaks tend to occur in tropical regions of sub-Saharan Africa, the largest to date being the 2013-2016 epidemic in West Africa, which infected 28, 616 people and claimed 11, 310 lives.

The doctor was involved in tacking the infectious disease Ebola in Liberia.

Time Experiences Feelings
My 100 days What I did on arrival: What my daily work was like: An unforgettable case:
Two young brothers survived the disease after their family members had died.
I got to know the daily routine and my colleagues and started my work.
Together with the others working for or alongside MSF, I helped those who were infected with the terrible disease Ebola. We worked together, surrounded by blood, vomit and death.
proud, hopeful, amazed
Time Experiences Feelings
Now What is special about today: What we are doing:
We celebrated because it’s exactly one month since the last reported case, and my time is almost up.
We are collaborating to create a global community with a shared future of peace and prosperity.
happy，inspired, proud, hopeful
Now read the information and answer the questions.
We call on the people of all countries to work together to build a community with a shared future for mankind, to build an open, inclusive, clean, and beautiful world that enjoys lasting peace, universal security, and common prosperity.
From Xi Jinping’s report at the 19th CPC National Congress
1. What is your understanding of “ a community with a shared future for mankind”
All people live on the same earth, as if we were living in a “global village”. Anyone’s action will affect others. Only when all people on the earth work together can the world have great development.
2. How is the idea reflected in the MSF doctor’s journal
The author mentioned that Ebola has no respect for borders. Thus indicates that borders are artificial. Many human differences are similarly artificial or unimportant when compared to what unites people. Doctors and others involved in the fight against the disease were united by their common values of respecting and saving human life.

What are the functions of keeping this kind of journal
I think it really important to keep this kind of journal.
First of all, keeping this kind of journal can help the author know his own work more clearly. Meanwhile, the author is able to express his feelings and thoughts which can relieve his working pressure. And by keeping this kind of journal, he can also make a list of different problems and challenges of his job, which is of great help to his work.
Choose any of the following items to act them out.
Discuss in groups, and make a list of boundaries in society.
Choose one of the boundaries you have listed and talk about how to break it. (Your presentation can be a speech or an interview.)
Share your experiences or stories of breaking boundaries with the class. (when, where, what, why, how…).
between teachers and students
between doctors and patients
between different languages
between parents and children
between different cultures
between different countries
in geography
in any other different areas
When we are faced with different boundaries, we should have a good attitude and try our best to work together with people around us to break them. Only in this way can we become strong enough to overcome different challenges and to go anywhere we are needed all over the world to realize our dream.
