Journalists and TV people, we know, are () to record what goes on: but in trying to get the best () they can, they may sometimes seem amazingly cold-blooded. In the massacre that followed the British quitting India, () was a photographer who made a sorrowing Indian family bury and rebury () dead several times () he got a perfect shot. A BBC sound man held up a Nigerian execution for half an hour while he adjusted his sound equipment; you could say it didn 't () any difference to the final outcome, but it doesn 't make you feel especially warm towards the man () .
Should journalists and photographers join in, () just stand back and watch while people kill () another? It 's a tricky question, not just a () of how brave anyone is feeling at the time, () without authentic pictures, how will the world know, how should the world believe () crimes are committed? One dead photographer does not do much for the cause he cares about, even () he did feel forced to join in and take sides.
To stay out of the fight, to write () what 's going on, to treat () with both sides, as a doctor will cure soldiers in () uniform. or a lawyer argue for either side —that is supposed to be our code, and when it () to the crutch, we probably do better trying to stick () that, than rushing off on individual impulse. But is there not a point in any profession () you are forced back against the wall () a human being? I think there is, and I was.

Greek soldiers sent messages by turning their shields (盾) toward the sun. The flashes reflected light could be seen several miles away. The enemy did not know what the flashes meant, but other Greek soldiers could understand the messages.
Roman soldiers in some places built long rows of signal towers. When they had a message to send, the soldiers shouted it from tower to tower. If there were enough towers and enough soldiers with loud voices, important news could be sent quickly over distance.
In Africa, people learned to send messages by beating on a series of large drums (鼓). Each drum was kept within hearing distance of the next one. The drum beats were sent out in a special way that all the drummers understood. Though the messages were simple, they could be sent at great speed for hundreds of miles.
In the eighteenth century, a French engineer found a new way to send short messages. In this way, a person held a flag in each hand and the arms were moved to various positions representing different letters of the alphabet. It was like spelling out words with flags and arms.
Over a long period of time, people sent messages by all these different ways. However, not until the telephone was invented in America in the nineteenth century could people send speech sounds over a great distance in just a few seconds.
