When Katherine and her daughter drove past Katherine?s beloved old home, she would say, “I?d like to have that house back.” On her 90th birthday, that wish came true.
All Katherine wanted for her 90th birthday was to 36 her childhood home. Her daughter, Emily wasn?t so 37 on the idea. And, as the old saying goes, you can 38 really go home again. However, the mom and daughter often drove from their

On the very day, Emily went to 52 Katherine to her house. “When we went inside, I was just 53 .” Katherine says. “There was a house load of people singing ?Happy Birthday? to me.” Emily presented Katherine with the carefully 54
replica home.
“I just couldn?t believe it,” Katherine says. “I have 55 memories of that house. I have had several family dinners where we eat around it. I now turn on the tiny lights within it.

A
Inspired by the USA’s recent solar eclipse(日蚀)? These equally impressive events and activities will inspire your desire for a visit.
Witness a desert superbloom
Occasionally, the normally dry Mojave Desert, Sonoran Desert, and Chihuahuan Desert will burst into a carpet of yellow, purple, and pink flowers in spring. This is a surperbloom,
_*
and it happens if there’s significant rainfall between September and November. There’s one wildflower bloom every 5.3 years on average, and a superbloom on average once every 11.2 years.
WHERE TO GO: Death Valley National Park, California, the USA WHEN TO GO: February—March
Watching rockets launching
Every launch is very impressive and exciting because you don’t know what will happen until the last moment. You hear the fire and fury for several minutes—seeing a launch in person is a billion times better than watching on TV. The current hot ticket, though, is going to watch a SpaceX reusable rocket launch, then land back at Cape Canaveral.
WHERE TO GO: Wallops Fights Facility, Virginia or Kennedy Space Center, Florida BEST TIME TO GO: Check www.kennedyspacecenter.com or www.nasa.gov
Enjoy a never-ending lightning storm
Think lighting never strikes twice? The odds are more generous over the mouth of the Catatumbo River at Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela, which hosts lighting storms for up to 297 nights a year, thanks to its unique geographical location. “Watching the Catatumbo lightning is an experience you will get nowhere else,” says Jonas Piontek, a German photographer who has travelled there twice to capture the storms. “You are basically isolated from everyone no network, no Internet, no real civilization around. It’s just you and nature, and one of the best shows on Earth.”
WHERE TO GO: Catatumbo Camp, Venezuela WHEN TO GO: October—November
56. what causes a superbloom to happen in the desert?
A. Steady rainfall in a year. B. Occasionally rainfall in winter. C. Heavy rainfall in spring. D. Abnormal rainfall in autumn. 57. If you want to escape from reality, you can go to A. Mojave Desert C. Catatumbo Camp
B
If every public interaction were filmed, would the world be a better place? Common sense suggests it would, and to some extent, we already live in such a world, with closed-circuit television cameras everywhere and smart phones in every pocket.
However, the routine filming of everyday life is about to go to the next level. A number of countries are rolling out body cams for police officers and other public-facing agencies such as school.
Private citizens are getting in on the act too: cyclists increasingly wear headcams as an insurance against aggressive drivers. As camera technology gets smaller and cheaper, it isn?t

hard to foresee a future where we?re all filming everything all the time, in every direction. Would that be a good thing?
The available evidence suggests that it discourages behavior such as police brutality. Another upside is that it would be harder to get away with crimes or to escape blame for accidents. But a world on camera could have subtle negative effects. The flood of data we pour into the hands of Google, Facebook and others has already proved a mixed blessing. Those companies would no doubt be willing to upload and store our body-cam data for free, probably with the assistance of machine learning algorithms(算法)---but at what cost to privacy and freedom of choice? Body-cam data could also create a legal mine field. Disputes over the validity and interpretation of police footage(执法镜头)have already surfaced. Eventually, events not caught on camera could be treated as if they didn?t happen, like a tree falling in the forest. Alternatively, footage could be faked or doctored to escape blame or incriminate others.
Of course, there?s always the argument that if you?re not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to fear. But most people have done something embarrassing, or even illegal, that they regret and would prefer hadn?t been caught on film. People already inspect their social media feeds---or avoid doing anything inadequate in public---for fear of damaging their reputation. Would widespread application of body cams have a further frightening effect on our freedom? The always-on-camera world could even threaten some of the natures that make us human. We are natural gossips and backbiters, and while those might not be desirable behavior, they oil the wheels of our social interactions. Once people assume they are being filmed, they are likely to shut up. We are nowhere near that point yet where everyone will feel they need one as an insurance policy, but we should think hard about whether we really want to say lights, body cam, action.
58. What is the benefit of filming to average people?
A. Promoting the widespread use of smart phones in public. B. Fighting crimes or bad behavior by providing solid evidence. C. Guaranteeing cyclists and pedestrians more safety on roads. D. Encouraging better performance of the police and teaching staff. 59. In the author?s view, the data flooding into tech giants is fairly A. comforting
B. puzzling
C. worrying
.
60. Certain undesirable behavior is important because if A. functions as an insurance policy
C. prevents inadequate social behavior
.
D. satisfying
B. warns us not to be caught on film
D. motivates human daily communication
C
A so-called “smart drug” intended to improve cognitiv（e to protect the brain from altitude
