14.Whether you love happy endings or a dark reality in TV dramas,you could soon be able to decide what you get.Netflix,the TV-streaming company behind hit shows such as The Crown and House Of Cards,is working on ways to give viewers control of key plot decisions.
Some of the storylines will be simple and linear,like the Choose Your Own Adventure books that many grew up with.For example,viewers might decide whether a prisoner in the drama Orange Is The New Black joins a gang (黑帮) or not.
The technology could also potentially be used to allow Princess Margaret to marry Peter Townsend in The Crown,instead of having her relationship with the divorcee (离婚者) blocked by the Establishment.Other storylines will be much more complex,allowing viewers to connect plot points in a variety of ways using their TV remotes.
A source said,"We're doing work on branch narratives (叙事) so you are actually making choices as you watch.All the content will be there,and then people will have to get through it in different ways.We'll see how it plays out.It's an experiment.We'll see if it gets much success.For creators,it's a new field."
Actors would film numerous alternate plot segments (片段) in advance,letting viewers choose which route to take through the story.Netflix will run a trial with choose-your-own-adventure shows for children later this year,based on an established character.If they are successful,it will use the format for TV programmes aimed at adults.Netflix president Reed Hastings confirmed that the company is working on interactive shows,saying,"Once you have got interactivity,you can try anything."
At least five million UK households are thought to be signed up to Netflix,and it is challenging traditional broadcasters.Earlier this year,BBC boss Lord Hall promised to reinvent the iPlayer so that it overtakes Netflix as a destination in its own right,rather than a catch-up service.

32.How will viewers connect plot points?A
A.By using their TV remotes.
B.By taking part in TV programs.
C.By interacting with actors or actresses.
D.By participating in filming plot segments.
33.Why will Netflix run choose-your-own-adventure shows for children?D
A.To attempt to create another hit show.
B.To compete with traditional broadcasters.
C.To attract as many children viewers as possible.
D.To test whether their creative ideas are successful.
34.What's Reed Hastings'attitude to interactive shows?A
A.Confident.
B.Doubtful.
C.Negative.
D.Worried.
35.What's the author's purpose of writing this text?D
A.To advertise for Netflix company.
B.To recommend some English hit shows.
C.To predict future development in filming.
D.To introduce the latest technology in TV dramas.

6.Four Wild Animal Species Were EndangeredMaybe you can still see them at the zoo.But that doesn't mean they're doing alright in the wild.
Tigers
All six tiger species are endangered,with Suatran tigers and South China tigers at a seriously endangered status.The main reasons for their population decline are illegal hunting and destroyed habitats,as humans clear forests to gather timber and build roadways.Only about 3890 tigers presently live in the wild.
Ground squirrels
That's right,even squirrels are endangered,specifically the San Joaquin ground squirrel.Native to California,USA,these guys have been disappearing since 1979 on account of the construction and human developments going through their habitat.Their total population is unknown,but it could be anywhere between 124000 and 4130000.
Giraffes
The International Union for the Conservation of Nature recently put giraffes at a vulnerable status,the level just before endangered.Th e giraffe population has declined 40 percent in the last 30 years,primarily due to loss of habitat and illegal hunting.Some giraffes are killed just for their tails,which are considered status symbols in Africa.
Asian elephants
The main threat to Asian elephants,one of the most intelligent animals,is their shrinking habitat.As the human population grows,people invade their land to build roads and railway tracks.Elephants in Myanmar are at an especially high risk for being captured and traded or used illegally in the tourist industry.Fewer than 50000 are left on the entire continent.

vegetable soup for breakfast,(36)CIn fact,in some Asian countries,breakfast doesn't usually mean
eating foods that are different from any other meals.
European countries have their own breakfast traditions too.In Italy,people usually just eat bread and

(39)DPeople in Costa Rica,Central America have a meal called gallo pinto for breakfast.Gallo pinto is

and beans.It also uses a special sweet and spicy liquid called Lizano Sauce,which is a special part of the
Costa Rican breakfast.People eat different versions of this same food in other Central American countries.
