Smile, you’re on body cam

As camera technology gets smaller and cheaper, it isn’t hard to imagine a future where we’re all filming everything all the time, in every direction.

Would that be a good thing? There are some obvious potential upsides. If people know they are on camera, especially when at work or using public services, they are surely less likely to misbehave. Another upside is that it would be harder to get away with crimes or to escape from blame for accidents.

Body-cam data could also create a legal minefield. Arguments over the truth and interpretation of police footage（影像）have already surfaced. Eventually, events not caught on camera could be treated as if they didn’t happen. Alternatively, footage could be faked or doctored to avoid blame or do wrong to others.

Of course, some people think 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 remove their social media feeds or avoid doing anything wrong in public—for fear of damaging their reputation.

The always-on-camera world could even threaten some of the qualities that make us human. We are natural persons who enjoy talking about other people’s private lives and while those might not be desirable behaviours, they oil the wheels of our social interactions. Once people assume they are being filmed, they are likely to keep silent.

The argument in relation to body-cam ownership is a bit like that for guns： once you go past a critical threshold（临界阐值），almost everyone will feel they need one as an insurance policy. We are nowhere near that point yet—but we should think hard about whether we really want to say lights, body cam, action.

32. What does the underlined word “upsides” in Para. 2 refer to? A. Advantages. B. Rules. C. Shortcomings. D. Dangers. 33. Why do people argue about police footage? A. Police footage can show the truth.

B. Events caught on footage are treated unfairly. C. Police footage could be changed on purpose. D. Footage should not be filmed by police.

34. What does the author believe?

A. People pretend to behave well with cameras on. B. People’s private lives should be respected.

C. Talking about others’ private lives promotes social interactions. D. People keep silent before cameras when talking about themselves. 35. What is suggested in the last paragraph? A. We don’t need a critical threshold.

B. We should be cautious in adopting body-cam. C. We need body-cam as an insurance policy. D. We haven’t decided whether to take action. 第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）

I don’t know what that dream is that you have. I don’t care how disappointing it might be as you’re working toward that dream. But that dream you’re holding in your mind is possible. Some of you already know that it’s hard. It’s hard changing your life. In the process of achieving your dreams, 36 There will be moments when you are going to doubt yourself. You’ll say, “Why? Why is this happening to me?” For those of you who have experienced some hardships，don’t give up on your dream. 37 ，but they will not stay, they will come to pass.

Many of you fail to seek your purpose in life. You dream and then follow it up with a list of all the reasons why the dream is unachievable. 38 Things like these are the true limits you experience in life and they are what you create or what you allow others to lay upon you.

39 Acting on the dream is harder. Recognize that a dream is a journey. On the simplest level, it takes commitment, time and courage. But rarely is something great easily realized. Dreaming is recognizing the potential for greatness and seeking it in all areas of your life. Believe in your dreams and your ability to accomplish them.
