《2025年世纪金榜新视野暑假作业高一英语》

 B
When we see a person in trouble, our immediate reaction is to lend a hand. But what if we see an animal in trouble, does the same rule apply?
This question was raised after a group of penguins were saved from an icy gully (峡谷) in Antarctica. It was filmed for the wildlife series Dynasties. After seeing that a group of penguins had fallen into a gully and been trapped with their young, the film crew were so concerned about their safety that they built a slope (斜坡) in order that a few of the penguins could save themselves.
The case has taken the international media by storm. Viewers watching this film let out a sigh of relief. “I'm so glad. I understand not taking action directly, but a helping hand isn't bothering, right?” viewer Kathryn Shaw said on her Facebook.
However, others think human interference (干涉) is unnatural. “You can't have sunshine throughout your life. To have done anything else would only make matters worse,” said the show's creator David Attenborough, according to The Times.
In this case, however, Mike Gunton, the executive producer of the series, said that this was a one-of situation. “There were no animals going to suffer by interfering. You weren't touching the animals and it was just felt by doing this. They had the chance not to have to keep slipping down the slope,” he told the BBC.
Such cases are familiar to Paul Nicklen, wildlife photographer for National Geographic. He told Metro, “If it's ever a predator (捕食者) situation, no matter how gut-wrenching, you stay out of the way. Even when you're watching a male polar bear eat a baby bear. ”
“There's no rule book in those situations. You can only respond to the facts that are right there in front of you,” Will Lawson, the show's director, told Daily Mail.
