Milosevic’ s Death
Former Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic was found dead last Saturday in his cell at the Hague-based International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. The 64-year-old had been on trial there since February 2002.
Born in provincial Pozarevac in 1941, he was the second son of a priest and a school teacher. Both of his parents died when he was still a young adult. The young Milosevic was "untypical", says Slavoljub Djukic, his unofficial biographer. He was "not interested in sports, avoided excursions and used to come to school dressed in the old-fashioned way - white shirt and tie." One of his old friends said, he could "imagine him as a station-master or punctilious civil servant".
Indeed that is exactly what he might have become, had he not married Mira. She was widely believed to be his driving force.
At university and beyond he did well. He worked for various firms and was a communist party member. By 1986 he was head of Serbia’s Central Committer. But still he had not yet really been noticed.
It was Kosovo that gave him his chance. An autonomous province of Serbia, Kosovo was home to an Albanian majority and a Serbian minority. In 1989, he was sent there to calm fears of Serbians who felt they were discriminated against. But instead he played the nationalist card and became their champion. In so doing, he changed into a ruthless and determined man. At home with Mira he plotted the downfall of his political enemies. Conspiring with the director of Serbian TV, he mounted a modern media campaign which aimed to get him the most power in the country.
He was elected Serbian president in 1990. In 1997, he became president of Yugoslavia. The rest of the story is well-known: his nationalist card caused Yugoslavia’s other ethnic groups to fight for their own rights, power and lands. Yugoslavia broke up when four of the six republics declared independence in 1991. War started and lasted for years and millions died. Then Western countries intervened. NATO bombed Yugoslavia, and he eventually stepped down as state leader in 2000.
Soon after this, Serbia’s new government, led by Zoran Djindjic, arrested him and sent him to face justice at the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal in the Hague.

A The most important point about idioms is to understand that, their meaning is always different to the dictionary meaning of the words. They cannot be literally (字面地) translated and understood. Idioms are as difficult for the Chinese as for any other language learners. What is an idiom An idiom is an expression whose meaning cant be derived simply by hearing it. It is an expression with the following features: 1. It is fixed and is recognized by native speakers. You cannot make up your own! 2. It uses language in a nonliteral—metaphorical way. The followings are examples: 1. Im up to my eyes in work at the moment. 2. I was over the moon when I heard shed had twins! 3. It broke my mothers heart to see her home burnt to the ground. f you are up to your eyes, you are very busy. If you are over the moon, you are extremely happy about something. If something breaks your heart, you are very sad about it. Why are idioms so important 1. Because they are so common. 2. The metaphorical (比喻) use of a word is more common today than its literal use. 3. It is fun to learn and to use them because there is so much to learn. 4. Use of idioms by Chinese students will make them seem by others to have a better grasp of the English language. Learning idioms 1. In context Learning idioms by themselves is useless if they are learnt out of context and they are also difficult to remember unless you use them regularly. 2. In use The problem with learning idiomatic language outside English speaking countries is that it is hard to know which idioms are in fashion and which idioms are already outofdate. Try to use modem reference books such as uptodate dictionaries. 3. In speech Make a note of new idioms and their context by listening to movies and TV shows and try to use what you hear. 4. In writing Be aware that many idioms are dated and no longer in current use. Make sure that if you include an idiom in writing it is correct and correctly used in context. The following are idioms except.

A:broke ones heart B:over the moon C:at the moment D:up to my eyes
