　　阅读下文，从所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。

　　A

　　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 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.

　　(  )41. From the passage, we know the sOccket is ________．

　　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

　　B. The best way to solve energy crisis

　　C. A soccer ball that gives energy

　　D. An invention changing the world
