The first time I saw Jim Wooten I really understood him. He was a great TV news reporter. When he was reporting in Rwanda, one heartbreaking moment made a deep impression on me. When the camera showed all of the children who were dying, suffered from terrible diseases, Jim ended his piece by saying that when he got home, the first thing he was going to do was to put his arms around his own children. Then I realized that he was different, that he didn’t fall into any of the modern television news tricks , that he was not giving us any awful, artificial television journalist reports out of pity. I was watching a real reporter with a gift for both words and slight differences.
Then I read his book, We Are All the Same, about his friendship with Xolani Nkosi, a South African boy who became the international spokesman for 人工智能DS. It is also a book about a great teacher and his student. But the teacher----the one with real wisdom and understanding about life----is the little, not the journalist. And, finally, it’s about a love story of Gail Johnson, Nkosi’s white mother who does her best to save the boy, and their love for each other. When reading the book, I felt touched from time to time.
88. How did Jim Wooten feel when he saw the dying children in Rwanda?
_________________________________________________________________
89. How did Jim end his piece when he saw the dying children in Rwanda?
_________________________________________________________________________
90. What would an ordinary journalist do on TV when he saw these dying children?
__________________________________________________________________________
91. Who is the teacher in the book, the little boy or the journalist?
__________________________________________________________________________
92. Why did Nkosi’s mother do everything possible to save the boy?
___________________________________________________________________________
93. What’s the writer’s attitude to Jim Wooten? How do you know that?
___________________________________________________________________________
