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 1 carrying a gun. You’re standing in front of a 2 and you’re telling the TV 3 what is happening.
It’s all in a day’s work for a war reporter, and it can be very 4 . In the first two years of the 5 in former Yugoslavia（前南斯拉夫), 28 reporters and photographers were killed. Hundreds more were 6 .
What kind of people put themselves in danger to 7 pictures to our TV screens and 48 to our newspapers? Why do they do it ?
“I think it’s every young journalist’s 9 to be a foreign reporter,” says Michael Nicholson, “that’s 10 you find the excitement. So when the first opportunity comes, you take it 11 it is a war.”
But there are moments of 12 . Jeremy Bowen says, “Yes, when you’re lying on the ground and bullets（子弹）are flying 13 your ears, you think: ‘What am I doing here? I’m not going to do this again.’ But that feeling 14 after a while and when the next war starts, you’ll be 15 .”
“None of us believes that we’re going to 16 ” adds Michael. But he always 17 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, 18 , and every time it happens you look to the sky and say to God, ‘If you get me out of this, I 19 I’ll never do it again.’ You can almost hear God 20 , because you know he doesn’t believe you .”

解析试题分析：本文讲述了战地记者在战场上所遇到的各种艰难和危险并且描述了他们的思想斗争的情况。
【小题1】考查副词：上句话说，“你”不是士兵，接下来说的是“你”甚至(even)没有枪，因为“你”是战地记者。选C。
【小题2】考查名词：通读全文(尤其是第2段第1句话)可知，“你”是战地记者(a war reporter)，那“你”当然地站在 camera 前了。选B。
【小题3】考查名词：既然是战地记者站在摄像机前，那当然是给电视观众(TV viewers)作报道了。选C。
【小题4】考查形容词：根据第1段中说的around you shells are exploding以及第2段中说的…reporters and photographers were killed 可知，比较四个选项，再结合常识，也知是危险的，可选出答案C。
【小题5】考查名词：根据常识和后面的 28 reporters and photographers were killed 可知是战争，答案选D。
【小题6】考查名词：根据文章意思和常识，战地记者死了28人，那么还有数百人应该是wounded。选C。
【小题7】考查动词：比较： make 制造。take 带去，拿到；bring 带来； show 出示，拿给……看；结合后面的 pictures to our TV screens，只有bring 最佳。选C。
【小题8】考查名词：前面说给电视带来pictures，那么与之相对照，给报纸带来的应该是stories。选A。
【小题9】考查名词：根据下文可知，成为一名驻外记者是年轻记者的梦想。选C。
【小题10】考查where引导地点状语从句，其意为“……的地方”。选B。
【小题11】考查连词：前文说当驻外记者是每个年轻记者的梦想，所以当实现梦想的机会出现的时候，他们就一定会抓住，即使(even if)是战争也不畏惧。选B。
【小题12】考查名词：根据下文中的…and bullet(子弹) are flying past your ears…What am I doing here? I’m not going to do this again 可知，记者们也有“害怕”的时候。选B。
【小题13】考查介词：子弹从耳边飞过，用past，即指从耳朵旁边飞过。注意不能用through，因为它是指“穿过”“穿透”。选A。
【小题14】考查动词：句中的but使句意发生转折，前面说有时也有害怕的时候，后面经but转折后，应该这种感觉一会儿就过去了。(答此题时要注意围绕“当驻外记者是每个年轻记者的梦想”这一主题。)选C。
【小题15】考查副词：此处指的是害怕的感觉过去后，当下一场战争爆发的时候，你又会出现在那里。选C。
【小题16】考查动词：由下文可知，他们随身带着护身符，所以他们不相信他们会死（die）。选A。
【小题17】考查动词：比较：wear 穿，戴；carry 带，携带。 hang 悬挂；hold 握住，拿住；因其后的宾语是 a lucky charm(护身符)，显然只有 carry 最合适。选B。
【小题18】考查上下文串联：比较四个选项，再结合空格后的every time，选C最佳。
【小题19】考查名词：向上帝祈求，当然是说“我保证”或“我发誓”，故选A最佳。
【小题20】考查动词：由于战地记者们在“退出”这个问题上总是说话不算数，所以当上帝再次听到他们保证的时候，上帝便会“发笑”了。选A。

A high school history teacher once told us, “If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A 21 friend is someone who stays with you for life”. 22 teaches that he was right. Good friendship is just not easily 23 .
It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place 24 enough for true
friendship to develop. However, there can be 25 disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kind of friendship we want.
To most of us, friendships are considered very important, 26 we need to
have it clear in our minds the kinds of friendship we want. Are they to be close or 27 at arm’s length? Do we want to 28 ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are 29 enough. And that’s all right. But at some 30 we need to make sure that our expectations are the same as our friends’ expectations. The sharing of personal experience including our tears as well as our dark 31 is the surest way to deepen friendships. But it must 32 slowly and carried on only if there are 33 of interest and action in return.
What are some of the 34 of our friendship? The greatest is to 35 too
much too soon. Deep relationships 36 time. Another “major difficulty” is the selfishness to think one “possesses” the other, including his time and attention. 37 , friendships require actions in return. In other words, you must 38 as much as you take. Finally there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend 39 time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die 40 .

She showed me that 40 was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.
