Dad never tried to hug or kiss me when I was a child. And of course, he never said “I love you” to me, either. But whenever I felt sad or lonely, dad was always there.
When I was in high school, dad left work and set up a food stand on the street near my school. Every day when I finished school, my classmates and I would pass his food stand. But I really hated talking to dad in front of his food stand.
One night, I couldn’t stand it any more and shouted: “Dad, could you stop selling your silly noodles I don’t need a father who sells noodles on the street!” At that moment, dad was shocked. He tried to say something but didn’t. His eyes were filled with tears and sadness. It was the first time that I saw dad crying. My mom later told me dad sold noodles to save money for my college education. I was so silly and even today I still feel guilty for that night.
Time really flies. I finished college and then left my home. For the past ten years, whenever I have visited home, dad was always there meeting me and seeing me off quietly at the railway station.
Whenever he saw me off, he never tried to hug me. When I was away from home, dad never wrote to me or called me, but he always asked my mom to call me. That’s how dad shows his love to me.

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 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 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 is in great need in these 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 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.
65. From the passage, we know the soccket is ________.
A. an active child B. a lamp C. an invention D. a mobile phone
66. 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. three hours D. six hours
67. 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
68. We can infer (推断) from the passage that ________.
A. people are expected to get some energy by playing soccket
B. Julia Silverman has never been to developing countries before
C. Active children like to play soccket
D. Kicking a soccket can let the energy disappear into the environment

I am Jim. I am 60 years old. As for me, I don’t like WeChat. Now many people, especially young people, lose themselves in WeChat. They pay no attention to the things around them. For example, last Sunday my kids went back home to have a family meal with us, but they didn’t chat with us, or did any housework. Instead, they kept their eyes on their mobile phones and did what they like on WeChat. I felt angry with this. So I have to say it again. I don’t like WeChat.
My name is Alice. I think WeChat is an important tool for us. But we have to use it properly. When we want to talk with our friends, who are not in the same city, it can help us to make it. When we drive our cars, we can’t use it because it is too dangerous. Using it or not depends on different situations.

Today, more and more students are using the APP zuoyebang. However, different people have different ideas about it.
Some people think it's useful. The APP zuoyebang can help students to solve problems in their studying in time. It's easy and convenient for them to study at home. They can choose their own teachers they like, and they will be more interested in studying. However, others don't think so. They think some students just pretend to study. In fact, they play games. They don't want to think independently, but only copy the answers. It's a waste of time.
I think it's good for students who are hard-working. They can study better. But for students who don't want to study, it's very bad.
