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 .”

Mr.Glen is a millionaire.Five years ago, after returning from abroad to his motherland, he
36
up his small company.Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his _37
expensive “school” fee.He always owes his success to it.At that time, Glen, who already got a Ph.D.degree, decided to return to the homeland, starting a company.Before
38 , he bought a Rolex watch with the
39
made through years of work after school and the scholarships.At the airport he had to accept the routine customs check.The watch on his wrist was also demanded to be
40
down for inspection.Glen knew that carrying the
41
goods out had to pay the tax.And he worried about paying
42
for his watch.So when he was checked, he told a lie that his watch was a worthless
43 .When he was
44
of his “smarts”, immediately,
45
the presence of Glen, the officers hit the watch, which
46
nearly 100,000, into pieces on hearing Glen’s words.Glen was amazed
47
he understood why, he was taken to the office to be
48
strictly.For many times of entry-exit
49
he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” would “enjoy” this special treatment.The officers looked out every thing carefully in the box, and warned him no matter
50
time of entry and exit he must accept the check and if
51
reusing and carrying fake and shoddy(劣质的) goods, he would be charged according to law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind after
52
the plane for long.
After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family, and his employees, too.He said that this made a deep
53
on him, because the additional high “school” fee that he had ever paid made him realize the value of
54 , which he would
55
as the secret of his success forever.36.A.set
