五、阅读理解。
There's an unwritten rule among documentary film-makers—to watch, but not intervene (干涉). But a BBC documentary worker in Antarctica made a hard decision.
In one of the Dynasties series, mother penguins can be seen leaving babies behind when they can't get out from the ravine (深沟). Some babies died from the freezing low temperatures.
After a storm, the workers returned to the area and decided to do something. They built a ramp (斜坡) to help the remaining penguins climb to safety.
"We chose to intervene with the least influence," said the shows director, Will Lawson. "Once we'd dug the little ramp, we left it to the birds. We were excited when they used it."
"It's very rare for the film workers to intervene," he said. "But they realize that they might be able to save some of these birds simply by digging a few steps in the ice."
"It's such an unusual condition to do this," he added. "It wasn't dangerous. You weren't touching the animals and by doing this, they had the chance to get out of the trouble."
