8、 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( ) Julin Silverman and Jessica Matthews developed the sOccket as part of a group project for an
9、engineering class at Harvard University. There are mechanisms( ) 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
10、 they can get energy from it. For every fifteen minutes of the game play the sOccket can provide enough electricity( ) 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 peop
11、le 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 many
12、 areas. Theres an energy crisis in the world.One out of every five people in the world dont 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( ) lamps which produce a lot of smoke. Julia Silve
13、rman 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 worlds most popular sport and get some energy in return. 1

17、 If astronauts could go to Mars one day what would they wear Some US university students have made a Mars spacesuit.The spacesuit is made of a hard material.It has a see through helmet ( ) and a backpack.Astronaut can even walk up a 45 degree slope in the spacesuit.This is very important because the
18、re are lots of slopes on Mars. The temperature on Mars is about 129 to 0 .So the spacesuit has thick gloves and boots to keep astronauts warm.The gloves can move freely.Astronauts could even tie their shoes in them.Although its cold outside the spacesuit should be 37 inside.The helmet is supposed to
19、 be 21 . The spacesuit weighs about 21 kilograms on the earth.Too heavy you think It would weigh only about 7 kilograms because the planet has lower gravity. The spacesuit is bright blue in color.Mars is called the red planet.There are always strong winds with red dust there.A white spacesuit would
20、get dirty easily.Then it would be very hard to see astronauts.But for someone dressed in blue this would not be a problem.
