I hope it haunts your houses pleasantly. Charles Dickens One Christmas Eve, old Scrooge and Bob were working busily in his office. It was a cold, foggy day. The fog was so thick that the houses opposite were like ghosts. It was only three o’clock in the afternoon, but it was already quite dark. “Merry Christmas, Uncle! God bless you!” cried a happy voice. It was Scrooge’s nephew. “Bah!” said Scrooge “Humbug(骗人的话 )。 ” “Christmas is a humbug! Surely you don’t mean that, Uncle.” Said his nephew. “I do,” said Scrooge. “Merry Christmas! What reason have you got to be merry? You’re poor.” “OK, then,” replied the nephew cheerfully. “What reason have you got to be sad? You are rich. Don’t be angry, Uncle!”said his nephew. “What else can I be?” answered the uncle, “I live in a world of fools! Merry Christmas! What’s Christmas time to you? It’s a time for paying bills without money, It’s a time for finding yourself a year older, but not richer. Everyone who goes around saying “Merry Christmas” should have his tongue cut out. Yes, he should!” “Uncle! Please don’t say that!”said the nephew. “I’ve always thought of Christmas time as a good time, a kind, and a charitable, happy time. And so, Uncle, Christmas has never put any gold or silver in my pocket, but I think it has done me good. And it will do me good. And I say, God bless it!” Bob, standing in the corner of the room, applauded(鼓掌 ).He realized his mistake very soon, and went quickly bake to his work, but Scrooge had heard him. “One more sound from you, Bob Cratchit,” said Scrooge, “and you’ll celebrate Christmas by losing your job!” “Don’t be angry with him, Uncle. Come and have dinner with us tomorrow.” “No.” said Scrooge. “I’m sorry you don’t want to celebrate Christmas. But I do. So a Merry Christmas, Uncle!” “Good afternoon!” said Scrooge. “And a Happy New Year! ” said his nephew. “Good afternoon!” said Scrooge again. His nephew left the room. He stopped to wish Bob a Merry Christmas. And Bob replied, “A Merry Christmas to you, too.” 62. In which season did the story take place? A. Spring. B. Summer. C. Autumn. D. Winter. 63.

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 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(解决方法 )。
