You are near the front line of a battle .Around you shells are exploding ;people are shooting from a house behind you .What are you doing there? You aren’t a soldier .You aren’t
36
carrying a gun .You’re standing in front of a
37
and you’re telling the TV
38
what is happening.
It’s all in a day’s work for a war reporter ,and it can be very
39
.In the first two years of the
40
in former Yugoslavia（前南斯拉夫）,28 reporters and photographers were killed .Hundreds more were
41
.What kind of people put themselves in danger to
42
pictures to our TV screens and
43
to our newspapers? Why do they do it ?
“I think it’s every young journalist’s
44
to be a foreign reporter,” says Michael Nicholson, “that’s
45
you find the excitement .So when the first opportunity comes ,you take it
46
it is a war.”
But there are moments of
47
. Jeremy Bowen says, “Yes ,when you’re lying on the ground and bullets （子弹）are flying
48
your ears ,you think: ‘What am I doing here? I’m not going to do this again.’ But that feeling
49
after a while and when the next war starts , you’ll be
50
.”
“None of us believes that we’re going to
51
,” adds Michael .But he always
52
a lucky charm（护身符）with him .It was given to him by his wife for his first war .It’s a card which says “Take care of yourself.” Does he ever think about dying? “Oh,
53
,and every time it happens you look to the sky and say to God, ‘If you get me out of this ,I
54
I’ll never do it again.’ You can almost hear God
55
,because you know he doesn’t believe you .”
