A
Have you ever heard of “a ball of energy”？ People often use it to describe very active children. But today we tell about an invention called the sOccket, which is a real soccer ball of energy. Julia Silverman explains that in fact the sOccket is a portable generator(便携式发电机)．
Julia Silverman and Jessica Matthews developed the sOccket as part of a group project for an engineering class at Harvard University.
There are mechanisms(装置) in a sOccket. When you kick, hit or throw it, energy is then kept in it by these mechanisms instead of disappearing into the environment.
Then the user can put something directly into the ball, like a lamp, or a mobile phone charger so that they can get energy from it.
For every fifteen minutes of the game play, the sOccket can provide enough electricity(电) for an LED lamp for three hours, and the ball can store(储藏) up to 24 hours’ electricity.
The International Energy Association reported last year that nearly one and a half billion people in the world had no electricity to use, and most of them live in subSaharan Africa and in India and other countries in Asia.
Julia Silverman and Jessica Matthews both had experiences in developing countries before they began the project. They knew that power shortages are a serious problem in really areas.
There’s an energy crisis in the world. One out of every five people in the world don’t have any electricity. And besides that, there are a lot of health problems because what people use instead of the electricity are harmful choices like kerosene(煤油) lamps, which produce a lot of smoke.
Julia Silverman says the sOccket ball is one small solution(解决方法) to a big problem.
Jessica Matthews and Julia Silverman hope their sOccket ball will shine more light on the problem of power shortages. It offers people a chance to put their energy into the world’s most popular sport and get some energy in return.
(　 ) 1. From the passage, we know the sOccket is ________．
A. an active child　　 B. an invention C. a lamp　 D. a mobile phone
(　 ) 2. If you play the sOccket for half an hour, it can provide an LED lamp with electricity for _____．

(　 ) 3. The underlined word “crisis” in the passage means ________．
A. a time of safety　　B. a time of difficulty C. a time of success D. a time of pride
(　 ) 4. We can infer(推断) from the passage that ________．
A. Julia Silverman has never been to developing countries before
B. Active children like to play sOccket
C. kicking a sOccket can let the energy disappear into the environment
D. people are expected to get some energy by playing sOccket
(　 ) 5. The best title for the passage should be “________”．

C. A soccer ball that gives energy D. An invention changing the world

Money can make you happy, only if you spend it in a clever way.
1　However, you will forget this feeling when the car gets old. But if you spend a week traveling, it’s more possible that you’ll remember the great experience, and you’ll remember the feeling for a long time. A new study has found that spending money on experiences makes people happier than on material(物质的) things.
2　If you buy a nice pen, and someone else buys one with less money, it’s possible that you may be unhappy because you spend so much money. When it comes to experiences like trips, you won’t think like that . If the experience is generally good, you will be happy with the price.
3　If you buy an MP3 and then see a more suitable one, you may regret buying the first one. However, if you have a nice dinner at one restaurant, and then learn about another better restaurant, you’ll not regret the first meal.
4　For example, if you buy a new toy and find that your friend has a better toy, you’ll feel unhappy. Instead, if you travel to a beautiful place, then no matter where your friends have go ne, it won’t make the memory of your trip less happy.
A. For material things, it’s possible that you’ll care about every little thing.
B. People like travelling more than buying material things.
C. Material things can cause jealousy(嫉妒).
D. Buying a new car makes you happy.
E. Material things can be compared more easily.
