Thirteen- year-old Shenzhen girl Victoria Qiuzhang will headline a fundraising concert at Shenzhen Concert Hall scheduled for March next year, the money of which will go to a charity fund aimed at helping children struggling in the ICU(Intensive Care Unit).

Touched by and proud of what Victoria is doing, Kevin Foyle, the principal at the private boarding school in Switzerland where Victoria is studying-- College Alpin Beau Soleil --decided to bring the good deed back to his school and help raise funds for it.

In the eyes of the principal, Victoria is a popular and advanced young lady. “Victoria is well-known and well-liked at school and she once sang in front of the principals and leaders from Nord Anglia Education, the world’s leading excellent schools organization,” Foyle said.

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, that is a real soccer ball of energy. Julia Silverman explains that in fact the soccket is a portable generator(便攜式發(fā)電機).

Julia Silverman and Jessica Matthews developed the soccket as part of a group project for an engineering class at Harvard University.

There are mechanisms(裝置) 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(電) for an LED lamp for three hours, and the ball can store(儲藏) 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 sub-Saharan 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(解決方法) 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 ________.

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(推斷) 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 ＂________＂.

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
