One Thursday afternoon，when I was in Grade 9，a new boy came into my classroom．He was short and thin．He walked up to the teacher and told her，very seriously，that he was new．His name was Christian．He sat down，took a look at me，and then looked away．I didn't think he was very nice and I was sure he wasn't the type I would like to become friends with．

During that year，I didn't talk to him much，but he smiled at me when our eyes met，always shyly．He never ate lunch with anybody，and he never talked to anybody but me．

But one day I joined those unkind kids who were making fun of him．We made fun of him though I thought it was wrong．

"Haven't you got any friends？"a kid asked Christian，who had walked past us alone，head down．

"No，he hasn't got any friends．He's too stupid and shy，"I said．Then Christian looked up at me with the saddest dog eyes I had over seen．I felt very sorry at that moment．

That night，I couldn't sleep because I couldn't get Christian's face out of my mind．In the weeks that followed，he never met my eyes in class and never smiled at me．It was really hard for me to decide to write him a note asking him to forgive（原谅） me．But I thought I should．

The next day in class，I wrote him a note telling him how sorry I felt．About five minutes later，I turned and saw tears in his eyes．"You will never realize what your apology（道歉） has meant to me，Jimmly．"he said to me．"I hope we can become friends．"

We had lunch together that noon and we had the best talk I had ever had．Over the years at high school，we were close friends．

When I think back，I realize that，if I had not apologized，I would never have known what a lovely person Christian was．

Apologies can really change your life，so never miss the chance to tell somebody you are sorry．

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） 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．

A．an active child　　

B．an invention

C．a lamp　

D．a mobile phone

42．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

43．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

44．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

45．The best title for the passage should be"　　"．

A．The only way to produce electricity

Without proper planning，tourism（旅游业） can cause problem．For example，too many tourists can make public places crowded，which are also enjoyed by the local people．If tourists cause too much traffic，the local people will feel unhappy．They begin to dislike tourists and treat them impolitely．But they forget how much tourism can help the local economy（经济）．It is important to think about how tourism affects the local people．The local customs and beauty should be kept to attract the tourists by the local government．The local government should also care about the health and happiness of local people when developing tourism．

Too much tourism can be a problem．If tourism grows too quickly，people can leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry because they can make more money there．As a result，other parts of the local economy can become worse．

On the other hand，if there is not enough tourism，people can lost jobs，and businesses can also lost money．It coats much money to build large hotels，airports，firstclass roads，and other support facilities（设施） needed by tourist attractions．For example，each room of the firstclass tourism hotel usually coats about 50thousand dollars．If the rooms of the hotel aren't used most of the time，the owner of the hotel will lose money．

Building a hotel is just a beginning．There must be many support facilities as well，including roads to get to the hotel，electricity and so on．All of these support facilities cost money．If these facilities are not used because there are not enough tourists，jobs and money are lost．

根据上面短文的内容回答问题．

66．How will the local people feel if tourists cause too much traffic？　　

67．Is developing tourism helpful for the local economy？　　

68．What should be kept by the local government to attract tourists？　　

69．Why can people leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry？　　

70．How much does it usually need to build a firstclass hotel room？　　

Some people succeed，while others may not．This is because some people own certain qualities，which others don't have．If you want to be successful，you should have the following qualities at least．

The first thing you must remember is that in order to succeed，you must be optimistic（乐观的）．If you do not expect to win，you will not try as hard as those who do expect to win．You also need to have a clear purpose and a reason for doing something．If you do not have a purpose，you will not do your best to work hard and make sure that every detail you have done is right．

Reading is another thing to success，as it will help you learn about how other people have achieved success．If you want to learn how to set up a successful business，you should read books about like Bill Gates and Jerry Yang，who have achieved amazing success in their areas of business．

Another quality that helps people succeed is creativity﹣thinking about things differently and wondering how others will do the same thing．Think about some successful people you know．They might be successful with a little creativity，but the most successful people are the most creative ones．

Practicing is equally important if you want to succeed because practice make perfect．Practice every day at any career you are in，and by doing so，you will see yourself，your business and your self﹣confidence begin to grow．If you feed confident about what you do，this confidence will make other people believe in you more as well．Your workmates will be happy to work with you，and your boss will give you more important things to do．Finally if you succeed，you can look people in the eye and smile confidently．

Success is yours for the taking! Cheers!
