Between ten and midnight the United States is politically leaderless——there is no center of information anywhere in the nation except in the New York headquarters of the great broadcasting companies and the two great wire services．No candidate and no party can afford the investment on election night to match the news-gathering resources of the mass media; and so, as every citizen sits in his home watching his TV set or listening to his radio, he is the equal of any other in knowledge．There is nothing that can be done in these hours, for on one can any longer direct the great strike for America’s power; the polls have closed．Good or bad, whatever the decision．America will accept the decision——and cut down any man who goes against it, even though for millions the decision runs contrary to their own votes．The general vote is an expression of national will, the only substitute for violence and blood．Its decision is to be defended as one defends civilization itself．
There is nothing like this American expression of will in England or France, India or Russia or China．Only one other major nation in modern history has ever tried to elect its leader directly by mass, free, popular vote．This was the Weimar Republic of Germany, which modeled its unitary vote for national leaders on the American practice．Out of its experiment with the system it got Hitler．Americans have had Lincoln, Wilson and two Roosevelts．Nothing can be done when the voting returns are flooding in; the White House and its power will move to one or another of the two candidates, and all will know about it in the morning．But for these hours history stops．
76．Between ten p．m．and midnight, the United States has no leader because________．

"Wanna buy a body? "That was the opening line of more than a few phone calls I got from self-employed photographers when I was a photo editor at U．S．News．Like many in the mainstream press, I wanted to separate the world of photographers into "them" ,who trade in pictures of bodies or run after famous people like Princess Diana, and "us" ,the serious newspeople．But after 16 years in that role, I came to wonder whether the two worlds were easily distinguishable．

Working in the reputable world of journalism, I told photographers to cover other people's difficult life situations．I justified marching into moments of sadness, under the appearance of the reader's right to know．I worked with professionals talking their way into situations or shooting from behind police lines．And I wasn't alone．

In any American town, after a car crash or some other horrible incident when ordinary people are hurt or killed, you rarely see photographers pushing past rescue workers to take photos of the blood and injuries．But you are likely to see local newspaper and television photographers on the scene –and fast ．．．

How can we justify doing this? Journalists are taught to separate, doing the job from worrying about the consequences of publishing what they record．Repeatedly, they are reminded of a news-business saying: Leave your conscience in the office, A victim may lie bleeding, unconscious, or dead．Your job is to record the image （图象）．You're a photographer, not an emergency medical worker．You put away your feelings and document the scene．

But catastrophic events often bring out the worst in photographers and photo editors．In the first minutes and hours after a disaster occurs, photo agencies buy pictures．They rush to obtain the rights to be the only one to own these shocking images and death is usually the subject．Often, an agency buys a picture from a local newspaper or an amateur photographer and puts it up for bid by major magazines．The most sought-after special pictures command tens of thousands of dollars through bidding contests．

I worked on all those stories and many like them．When they happen, you move quickly: buying, dealing, trying to beat the agencies to the pictures．

Now, many people believe journalists are the hypocrites （伪君子） who need to be brought down, and it's our pictures that most anger others．Readers may not believe, as we do, that there is a distinction between clear-minded "us" and mean-spirited "them"．In too many cases, by our choices of images as well as how we get them, we prove our readers right．

67．When journalists are working, they are told to ____．

　　　 A．work with their conscience

　　　 B．respect the privacy of the victim

　　　 C．separate their work from feelings

　　　 D．ask police for permission to take photos

68．The 5th and 6th paragraphs mainly tell us that ____．

　　　 A．speed determines the success of a news story

　　　 B．photo agencies are greedier than serious newspeople

　　　 C．photographers have free access to photos of accidents

　　　 D．profit is the driving force beliind the competition for photos

69．It can be learned from the last paragraph that serious newspeople ____．

　　　 A．obtain photos differently from news agencies

　　　 B．are no better than self-employed photographers

　　　 C．are more devoted to work than non-professionals

　　　 D．have a higher moral standard than self-employed photographers

70．The underlined word "them" in the last paragraph refers to____．

　　　 A．photo editors B．photo agencies

　　　 C．serious newspeople D．self-employed photographers
