Listening comprehension 3

W: Hi, Paul. Thanks very much for joining us today. You’ve spent the past 20 years as a physician working in some of the poorest places on earth. And over that time, you’ve written a lot about inequality and health care. How has the connection affected your work?

M: I think in a way, studying in difficult places at a squatter settlement in central Haiti has been very helpful to our work. Because there’s an extremity hid there in terms of the health status of the people. And what’s available to them that you just have to confront early on. There isn’t health infrastructure. There aren’t people there to deliver health services whether prevention or care. And yet, that’s precisely where the sickest people are. I think looking back to 20 something years ago, it was because we started in that setting that we had to develop models that would work in places with very scant health infrastructure and knowing that we would build it over time. But that there was a lot that you could do immediately -- train local people to be community health workers, erect modest facilities and try to provide high quality care. That’s how it started for us in Haiti. And really, that’s the model we’ve taken to the other nine countries in which we work.

W: It sounds so you needed to deal with issues that many people might not consider medical like housing and water, and things like that.

M: That is true. There are two ways to look at this. I think as a physician or a provider of services. If I’m in the Harvard training hospital and I’m a surgeon, then no one’s going to expect me to diagnose and treat the disease but also build the operating room and find electricity and supplies. But that’s very much what we have to do. So, there’s that side of the model and that leads as you’ve said to listening hard to what patients say about their other problems. If you have someone who has typhoid, they got that because they don’t have clean drinking water. So, you can keep spending your whole life treating typhoid which can be a fatal disease as you probably know. Or you can treat typhoid and try to put in clean water.

Q11. What’s the man’s job most probably?

Q12. For how many years has the man worked in Haiti?

Q13. Why does the man think starting work in Haiti has been very helpful to his work?

Q14. They did several things to build a model in Haiti. Which of the following is not one of these things?

Q15. Apart from diagnosing and treating the disease, what should a doctor do when he works in Haiti?

本篇聽力難度適中，對于一些專有名詞如Haiti、typhoid，如果聽不出，不用過分糾結(jié)，重點(diǎn)是把握大意，抓住一些重點(diǎn)細(xì)節(jié)，如數(shù)字、時(shí)間、工作具體內(nèi)容等等。
