26、When we see a person in trouble our immediate reaction is to lend a hand. But what if we se 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 BBC 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) so 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 involved, 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-off 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.

28、The Wind and the Leaves
“Come, little leaves,” said the wind one day,
“Come over the meadows with me and play.
Put on your dress of red and gold;
For summer is gone, and the days grow cold.”
Soon as the leaves heard the wind’s loud call,
Down they came fluttering, one and all,
O’er the brown field then they danced and flew
Singing the soft little songs they knew.
Dancing and whirling, the little leaves went,
Winter had called them, and they were content.
Soon, fast asleep on their earthy beds,
The snow laid a coverlet over their heads.
--George Cooper

And what about the mess on the floor? 【1】 If the answer to these questions is yes, then you’re not alone. Most of us have too much stuff.
People with untidy, cluttered (杂乱的) rooms have untidy minds. 【2】 This makes them unhappy. There is no doubt that too much stuff is bad for us and we have to change.
Now, imagine this bedroom: a white floor, a bed, a wardrobe and a desk and chair. That’s all. It looks calm and relaxing. This is the minimalist style. Minimalists believe that they don’t have to own a lot of possessions (物品) to be happy. 【3】
You are probably asking at this point “Do I have to get rid of all my favourite things?” 【4】 A minimalist room is too extreme for most people, and personal possessions like photos and books are comforting and help us to feel at home. 【5】 Consider this simple rule: if you don’t use something for longer than 6 months, get rid of it. You have to regularly tidy and sort out all the stuff in your room. After decluttering, you’ll have more space in your wardrobe and cupboards. No more “You must tidy your room!” from your parents! Your room will look more spacious (宽敞的) and you’ll feel free!
A.Of course the answer is that you don’t.
B.Actually, they enjoy their messy home.
C.But occasional tidying isn’t a bad idea.
D.They try to live with only essential things.
