1.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 (黑幫) 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 (離婚者) 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 (敘事) 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.

16."Sorry,but I don't agree with you…"This is usually followed by unbearable silence and angry tears.I've always found it difficult to disagree with someone,because I don't want to lose a friend.I've found it even harder to accept it when someone disagrees with me,because my ego(自尊心)is hurt.
Before the other person gets a chance to explain why she disagrees with me,my usual response would be,"If you aren't able to see my point of view,then what you think isn't worth my time or consideration,either."But now I've come to realize that when a friend disagrees with me,sometimes she is simply saying,"I don't agree with the way things are done."She still respects me as a person,and is only pointing out a better way to look at a matter.However,there may be times when my friend disagrees with me because I'm against the truth.That's when need to listen to what she says.
I've learned that one way to help my friend is for me to be open and honest with the other to voice my thoughts and listen to the other carefully.While we can't control how a person will respond to our views,we must learn to disagree with our friends in love.We will never feel that we are better than the other person.And that will help us to be less emotional,and more objective in the way we express our opinions.In the same way,we can also stay open to feedback(反饋)from others,knowing that our friends may be correcting us in love.
Good friendships build each other up,sometimes through disagreements and honest opinions.Though I don't like being disagreed with,I'm starting to see the value of such disagreements.

28.The author has found it difficult to disagree with someone becauseD.
A.he is a friendly person                       
B.he usually hides his ideas
C.he has no mind of his own                     
D.he wants to keep the friendship
29.When a friend disagreed with him,the author used toA.
A.be unhappy                              
B.a(chǎn)rgue with the friend
C.break up with the friend                          
D.explain things calmly
30.The author will listen to a friend whenA.
A.he is against the truth                        
B.he doesn't tell the truth
C.he is respected by a friend
