15、As a young man, Al was a skilled artist with a wife and two fine sons. One night, his older son had a bad stomachache. Thinking it was only a common illness, neither Al nor his wife took the condition very seriously. But the boy died suddenly that night.

17、When I was young, I wanted to be a model, so when a national competition was nearby, I asked my parents to take me for an audition(试演) and they agreed, I was selected and told I had potential. They said that for only $900 I could attend a weekend event that a number of the most famous modeling agenies(中介) from around the world would attend. At 13, my hopes of fame and fortune(名利) clouded my judgment and I begged my parents to let me go. We have never been rich, but they saw my enthusiasm and at last they agreed.
I imagined being signed by some famous model companies. For .months, any boredom or disappointment that I faced disappeared because I knew I would soon have the chance to be a real model. I thought I would appear in the covers of famous magazines!
Of course, I wasn't signed, but what hurt the most was being told that if I grew to 5'9' (about 1.75 meters) I could be a
success. I sprayed for a growth spurt(冲刺) because I could not imagine giving up my dream. I met with a local modeling agency and the agent required $500 for classes, $500 for a photo shoot(拍摄), and $300 for other fees. My parents only agreed after hours and hours of my begging.
The agency sent me out on a few auditions but with every day I did not receive a call, I grew more disappointed. The final chance came in July after I had decided to focus on commercial modeling. There was an open call(公开挑it) in New York City. We spent hours driving and spent another few hours waiting, only to be told that I was too short, I could hardly stand it.
Years later, I realize that the trip to New York was good as it made me notice I didn't actually love modeling, just the idea of it.1 wanted to be special and I naively(天真地)decided to reach an impossible goal. The experience has made me stronger and that will help me in the future.

4．From her experience of struggling to be a model, the author learned that

18、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.
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
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

19、Dear Mr. Green,
I'm interested to take part in the Social Practical Program of our school. I'd like to choose the second –recycle useful in the waste.
There are some ways to reuse the wastes. The used plastic bags can be used to contain our family rubbish. The empty tins can be made into ashtrays. We can also make the used bottles into different kinds of handiwork. That will make our rooms more beautiful. If we don't know how to reuse the wastes, we can sell them to the recycling station. There are many other ways to reuse the waste. If we try our best to recycle the waste, there will be less waste and less pollution in our life. To cherish the environment is to love ourselves.
Yours, Zhang Ming。
