You are near the front line of a battle. Around you shells (炮彈)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(子彈)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(護身符)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 .”
