二、阅读理解

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 socket, which is a real soccer ball of energy. Julia Silverman explains that in fact the socket is a portable generator(便携式发电机）。

Julia Silverman and Jessica Matthews developed the socket as part of a group project for an engineering class at Harvard University. There are mechanisms （装置）in a socket. 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 socket can provide enough electricity‹ ) 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 lived in sub-Saharan Africa and in India and other countries in Asia.

Julia Sliverman and Jessica Matthews both had experiences in developing countries before they began the project. They knew that power shortages are a serious problem in many 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 Sliverman says the socket ball is one stall solution(解决方法）to a big problem.

Jessica Matthews and Julia Sliverman hope their socket 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 socket is______________.

A. an active child        B. an invention          C. a lamp          D. a mobile phone

2. If you play the socket for half an hour, it can provide an LED lamp with electricity for______________

A. fifteen minutes        B. half an hour           C. six hours         D. three hours

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 from the passage that______________

A. Julia Sliverman has never been to developing countries before

B. active children like to play socket

C. kicking a socket can let the energy disappear into the environment

D. people are expected to get some energy by playing socket

5. What's the best title for the passage?

A. The only way to produce electricity.

B. The best way to solve energy crisis.

C. A soccer ball that gives energy.

D. An invention changing the world.

"Dear boy, did you see the scars? I share a piece of my heart with others when I share love, and in return I get a piece of heart, which I fix at the place from where I have cut a piece," said the old man.

The young man was amazed. The old man continued, "Since the pieces of heart I shared were not in the same shape or size, my heart is full of scars. Your heart that looks fresh and is with no scars shows you never shared love with anybody. Is that true?"
