一、2.ReadingComprehension(SkimmingandScanning)(20题)1.HostageNegotiation

Ahostagesituationisalaw-enforcementworst-casescenario,becauseitplacesinnocentciviliansdirectlyinharm'sway.Armedinterventionbecomesveryrisky,sincethehostagesthemselvescanbeharmedeitherbystraybulletsorbythehostage-takers.Thatmakesthenegotiationthemostimportantaspectofanyhostagecrisis.Askillednegotiatormustfindoutwhatthehostage-takerwants,whoheorshe'isandwhatitwilltaketoachieveapeacefuloutcome,allwhileensuringthesafetyofthehostagesandotherbystanders.

Ideally,ahostagesituationendswitheveryonewalkingaway.Inthisarticle,we'llfindoutwhathappensonthesceneofahostagenegotiation,howanegotiatorgetsthejobdone.Wewillalsotakealookatthepsychologyofhostage-takers.

TheHostageSituation

Althoughhostagesituationscanvarygreatlybasedonthemotivationsofthehostage-takerandtheexactcircumstancessurroundingtheincident,therearesomebasicfactsthatapplytoallhostagesituations.

Thehostage-takerwantstoobtainsomething.Thiscanbeassimpleasmoney,personalsafetyorsalepassagetoanothercountry,oritcaninvolvecomplicatedpoliticalgoals.

Thetargetofthehostage-takerisnotthehostage;itissomethirdparty(aperson,acompanyoragovernment)thatcanprovidewhateveritisthehostage-taker'wants.

Thehostagesarebargainingchips.Theymayhavesymbolicvalue(asatthe1972MunichOlympics,inwhichthetargetwastheIsraeligovernmentandthehostageswereIsraeliathletes),butthehostagesthemselvescouldbeanyone.

Hostagesituationsmovethroughseveraldistinctphases.

InitialPhase—Thisphaseisviolentandbriefandlastsaslongasittakesforthehostage-takerstomaketheirassaultandsubdue(慑服)thehostages.Theendofthisphaseisoftenmarkedbythepresentationofthehostagetakers'demands.

NegotiationPhase—Atthispoint,law-enforcementofficialsareonthescene,andthedemandshaveprobablybeenreceived.Thisphasecanlasthours,daysormonthsandcouldalsobereferredtoas"thestandoff(均衡)phase."Physically,nothingaboutthesituationchangesgreatly.Thehostagesandthehostage-takersstayinthesameplace.However,alotishappeningduringthisphaseintermsoftherelationshipsdevelopingbetweeneveryoneinvolved.Thenegotiator'sjobboilsdowntomanipulatingthoserelationshipsinawaythatresultsinapeacefulending.

TerminationPhase—Thisisthebrief,sometimesviolentfinalphase.Thisphasehasoneofthroeresults:Thehostage-takerssurrenderpeacefullyandarearrested.Policeassaultthehostage-takersandkillorarrestthem.Thehostage-takers'demandsaregranted,andtheyescape.

Thefateofthehostagesdoesnotnecessarilydependonwhathappensduringtheterminationphase.Evenifthehostage-takersgiveup,theymayhavekilledthehostagesduringthenegotiations.Often,hostagesarekilledeitheraccidentallybypoliceorintentionallybytheircaptorsduringanassault.Therehaveevenbeencasesinwhichthehostage-takersweregrantedtheirdemands,buttheykilledahostageanyway.

Thereisalsoapost-incidentstageinwhichtheeffectsoftheincidentplaythemselvesout.Theseeffectscanincludechangesinthestatusofthegroupsresponsible,shiftsintherelationshipsbetweenworldgovernmentsorincreasesinsecurity.
