Question

【题目】Daming: What was the most dangerous thing that ever happened in your work?

Tony: Going into the desert (沙漠) without careful prepararion is very dangerous. For example, if you don’t take enough water, it means death. Getting lost is another danger. We also have to be careful with snakes.

Daming: Where do you work?

Tony: I always find myself in desert areas, but they can look very different. We get to a place by car and then we walk, walk, walk. You can’t see anything if you don’t walk. I usually avoid going to big dune (沙丘) areas by myself. I make sure we have several cars and plenty of gas and water.

Daming: What is a working day like you?

Tony: On a working day, we get up early, get all the things together, readying the cars, and checking everything. Sometimes we drive a long way, forget something necessary, like water, and have to go back. We eat a pack lunch in the field and then work until 4 or 5 p.m. in the Middle East, we often work during the winter. After supper we wash, write about our work that day, then take a break and go to bed early.

Daming: What is the hardest part of your work?

Tony: The hardest part of work is being lonely. The days are long, and I miss my family and my friends. I’m a sports fan. I like to play basketball and tennis and watch all sorts of sports on television, so I miss that very much when I’m in the field.
