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 .”

Plants are very important living things. Life could not go if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. So animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.

If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants.

Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit.

Most non-flowering plants don’t grow from seeds. They grow from spores(孢子). Spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as the seeds. When these spores fall on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.
