Turn on your television set to CCTV-1 and what do you find? It's Shui Junyi, a well-known TV reporter, bringing you the latest news on the war in Iraq.
Shui left Baghdad on March 19, a day before the US-led war against Iraq broke out. But, he returned on March 26. Now , as things heat up , it is uncertain at this time just where he will be reporting from.
Shui was one of the reporters traveling alone in Iraq. These journalists are not among the more than 500 who are “embedded” （随军的） with US or British troops. The Pentagon （五角大楼，指美国国防部） in Washington has tried to discourage such risky reporting, saying it is too dangerous.
However, the journalists say “No” because they want to get a different side of the story. They say they especially hope to give a true report on what is in the mind of ordinary Iraqi people and the results of the shooting and bombing.
“If you are embedded, you are surrounded by troops. You can't talk to those ordinary people because they are running away from you ,” said John Donvan , an ABC （ Australian Broadcasting Corporation ） reporter.
But these reporters have to face many more dangers than the embedded journalists. For example, there is a greater risk of being attacked by Iraqis, being mistakenly fired upon by troops or getting caught in a crossfire.
Already, six journalists have been killed or are reported missing and believed killed in this war. All of them were non-embedded, including a 51-year-old British journalist and a 39-year-old Australian cameraman. Both died while working on March 22.
Reporters Without Borders , an organization that defends the interests of journalists around the world , was shocked to learn of the deaths. General secretary （秘书长） Robert Monard said these men have paid a high price for their willingness to report fully on the war in Iraq. The search for true news is a necessary battle to ensure that world reporting can be free of bias（偏见）.
During the 1991 Gulf War, four journalists were killed. German photographer Gad Gross was shot by the Iraqi army. And three British journalists covering the war for BBC were killed, possible by their Turkish （土耳其的） guide.
The latest deaths add to a long list of journalists killed while doing their job. Between 1992 and 2002, more than 500 journalists were killed throughout the world, almost half of them in wartorn areas.

Body language is a very powerful tool of communication, not only between people but in the animal world as well.
In many instances, we produce idioms, which are all understandable by borrowing examples from animal communication.
For example, we know that a frightened cat will arch (拱起) its back high in a rigid curve (拱形). From this staring point we might hear the expression “He gets my back up” meaning “He makes me angry”.
In the same manner, we know that many animals, if challenged by attackers, will not turn and run away because this will encourage the attackers to attack them more forcefully. Instead, they will move backwards slowly to get out of harm's way, always still facing their attackers. We call this action “backing off” and it can be used just as well with humans as with animals.
In the case of humans, however, the back-off may not be physical but oral, as in using a kinder tone voice and gentler words instead of fighting against the attackers.
1．When a cat arches its back high in rigid curve, it shows that it is ________.
[ ]
2．In order not to be attacked by its enemy, the animal will ________.
[ ]
3．In the article “back off” means “________”.
[ ]
4．Which of the following is wrong according to the article?
[ ]
A．To learn knowledge, humans must learn from animals.
B．Both humans and animals have body languages.
C．Both humans and animals have ways of getting out of harm.
D．“Face your attackers” means to encourage yourself.
5．What is mentioned in this article belongs to a study of English ________.

When we can see well, we don’t think about our eyes very often. It is only when we can not see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are.
People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing, reading and sewing, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.
People who are farsighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses too.
Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. This ,too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts(白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
When night falls, colors become fainter(更暗淡) to the eyes and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the sides of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn your head in its direction. This is because when you turn your head, you are looking at the thing too directly. Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it , they cannot see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake happens because of the center of the eye, which is very sensitive（敏感）in daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark.
( )1. We don’t know that our eyes are of great importance until ______ .
A. we think about our eyes B. we cannot see clearly
C. we wear glasses D. we have to do much reading
( )2. According to the passage, a ______ is more likely to be nearsighted.
A. tailor B. doctor
C. guard D. painter
( )3. Those who suffer from cataracts ______ .
A. will become blind B. cannot be cured(治愈)
C. may be cured D. must move to other places
( )4. People who are farsighted ______ .
A. cannot do a lot of close work without glasses
B. can only see things that are very close to their eyes
C. have difficulty reading a book if they hold it at arm’s length
D. have the same problem as the nearsighted people
( )5. To see a small thing at night, it is better to look ______ .
A. with wide open eyes B. with half-shut or narrow eyes
C. straight at it D. in a slightly different direction
