11、se the most horrifying pictures of dead or wounded victims because they dont want to upset their viewers. Even so, viewers are usually warned in advance that they “may find some of these disturbing” so they can look away if they choose. But the men and women whose jobs are to record those scenes-the

12、 TV cameramenhave no such choice. It is their duty to witness the horrors of the war and record them, no matter how horrifying and unpleasant they may be. Consequently, it is one of the most dangerous, exposed and emotionally taxing job that the world offers.Today, the demand for their work is risin

13、g. The explosion of satellite broadcasting and 24 hour news in recent years have created an almost insatiable(無法滿足的)demand for TV information. But major broadcasters and the TV news agencies-such as Reuters and WTN-have never had enough staff to meet the world wide demand for up-to-date pictures, so

14、 increasingly they turn to “Freelance” TV cameramen.These freelance cameramen are independent operators tied to no particular organization. They will work for any company which hires them for just a few hours or for several weeks in a war zone. But if a freelance cameraman is injured in the course o

15、f the job, the TV company is not responsible for him. The freelancer must survive on his own.“TV will always need hard, vivid moving pictures which are fresh, but these companies feel uncomfortable with large numbers of employees on their books,” explains Nik Growing, once foreign editor for Britain

16、s Channel 4 News and now a BBC news presenter.“By hiring freelancers, they can buy in the skills they need only when they need them.

34、 the old people to date24（8分） Throughout history scientists have risked their health and their lives in their search for the truth.Sir Isaac Newton, the seventeenth century scientist, was very smart, but that didnt stop him from doing some pretty stupid things. In his laboratory in Cambridge he ofte

35、n did the strangest experiments. Once, while testing how light passes through lenses (晶狀體), he put a long needle into his eye, pushed it to the back, and then moved it around just to see what would happen. Luckily, nothing long-lasting did. On another occasion he stared at the sun for as long as he

36、could bear, to discover what effect this would have on his sight. Again he escaped sufferingpermanentdamage, though he had to spend some days in a darkened room before his eyes recovered.In the 1750s the Swedish chemist Karl Scheele was the first person to find a way to produce phosphorus (磷). He in

37、 fact discovered eight more chemical elements including chlorine (氯), though he didnt get any praise for them. He was a very clever scientist, but his one failing was a curious habit of tasting a little of every substance he worked with. This risky practice finally caught up with him, and in 1786 he

38、 was found dead in his laboratory surrounded by a large number of dangerous chemicals, any of which might have been responsible for his death.Eugene Shoemaker was a respected geologist. He spent a large part of his life studying craters (火山口) on the moon, and how they were formed, and later did rese

39、arch into the comets of the planet Jupiter. In 1997 he and his wife were in the Australian desert where they went every year to search for places where comets might have hit the earth. While driving in the Tanami desert, normally one of the emptiest places in the world, another vehicle crashed into

But it s

43、eems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image(印象)of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonio

44、us than it has ever been in the past.” We were surprised by just how positive todays young people seen to be about their families,” said one member of the research team.” Theyre expected to be rebellious(叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and materia

45、l goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. Theres more negotiation(商議) and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They dont want to rock the boat.”So it seems that this generation of parents is much mor

46、e likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends.” My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-years-old Daniel Lazall. ”I always tell them when Im going out clubbing. As long as they know what Im doing, theyre fine with it.” Susan Cro

47、me, who is now 21,agrees.”Looking back on the last 2 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as Id done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”Maybe this positive view of

48、family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenagers rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments,” Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as

49、different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 360s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”1、What is the
