These equally impressive events and activities will inspire your desire for a visit.Witness a desert superbloomOccasionally, the normally dry Mojave Desert, Sonoran Desert,
21、and Chihuahuan Desert will burst into a carpet of yellow, purple, and pink flowers in spring. This is a surperbloom, and it happens if theres significant rainfall between September and November. Theres one wildflower bloom every 5.3 years on average, and a superbloom on average once every11.2 years.
22、WHERE TO GO: Death Valley National Park, California, the USA WHEN TO GO: FebruaryMarchWatching rockets launchingEvery launch is very impressive and exciting because you dont know what will happen until the last moment. You hear the fire and fury for several minutesseeing a launch in person is a bill

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 or www.nasa.govEnjoy a never-ending lightn
24、ing stormThink 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
25、 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.

27、light FaacilitiesC. Catatumbo Camp D. Death Valley National ParkBIf 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 ever
28、y 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 insur
29、ance against aggressive drivers. As camera technology gets smaller and cheaper, it isnt hard to foresee a future where were 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. Anoth
30、er 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 will
31、ing to upload and store our body-cam data for free,probably with the assistance of machine learning algorithms(算 法 )-but at what cost toprivacy 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 alr
32、eady surfaced.Eventually, events not caught on camera could be treated as if they didnt happen, like a tree falling in the forest. Alternatively, footage could be faked or doctored to escape blame or incriminate others.Of course, theres always the argument that if youre not doing anything wrong, you
33、 have nothing to fear. But most people have done something embarrassing, or even illegal, that they regret and would prefer hadnt 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
34、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. On
35、ce 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 pe

Encouraging better performance of the police and teaching staff.59. In the authors view, the data flooding into tech giants is fairly .A. comforting B. puzzling C. worrying D. satisfying60.
