It may be hard to believe, but the American Revolution -the war that freed the American states from British control—began over a cup of tea。 Tea was not the only thing that caused the war, of course， but it played a very big part.
The British people’s love of tea is well—known。 When the British won control over much of North America in the early 1700s， they brought their tea-drinking habits with them。 Tea quickly became the continent's most popular drink. As tea could not be grown locally， just as in Britain, it was shipped into the country -mostly from India。
In the early 1700s, the British government made a special deal with the East India Company, an English trading company。 They agreed that no other company was allowed to bring tea to Britain or any other country controlled by Britain， including America。 It was a great deal for the East India Company, since it meant that the company could decide whatever price it wanted for its products。 And it always decided on a high price！
In North America， the local people did not like having to pay such high prices. Instead of overpaying for tea from the British, they turned to Dutch traders， who secretly brought tea to the country that was just as good -and much less expensive. Although this broke the law， the American people didn't care。 They got the same cup of tea at a much lower price。
The East India Company, however， didn't like this at all. By the 1760s, they were losing millions of pounds each year to Dutch traders—a huge amount of money in a time when 60 a year was considered a good income。 Instead of reducing their prices to compete with the Dutch, the company asked the British government for help and the government agreed。
In 1767, the British introduced new laws that increased the prices of all goods which were brought into America. These laws helped make the East India Company even richer and forced local people to pay much more for everything。 The American leaders asked the British governments’ anger about British rule and the rest, as they say, is history。

Getting electricity has always been a problem for the 173 people leaving in Nuevo Saposoa， a small village in Peru, South America. However, things went bad from worse in March 2015 after heavy rains damaged the only power cables in the area. The villagers were forced to use oil lamps, which are not only expensive but also dangerous because of the harmful gases they produce.
Luckily, researchers at the University of Technology （UT） in Lima， Peru heard about their problem and found a wonderful solution。 They made a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil， both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the villages lies. The lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden box and uses it to light up an LED light bulb.
While that may sound amazing and even impossible, the science behind the idea is quite simple。 As plants create their food (using the sun's energy, water and chemicals from the soil）， they also produce electons-the building blocks of electrical energy。 The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to capture the energy and keep it in the lamp’s batteries for later use。 The researchers say a single charge can power a 50—walt LED light for two hours—enough time for local villagers to get their evening work done。
The university gave ten Plant Lamps to the villagers of Nuevo Saposoa in October 2015. So far， they have been a huge success! Elmer Ramirez, the UT professor who invented the lamp， believes the Plant Lamp could help improve the livestock of many people， especially small rainforest communities, 42％ of whom have no electricity。
( ) 36。 What are the problem of oil lamps according to Paragraph 1？

B。 It is much easier to use than oil lamps.
C. It can produce all the electricity the village needs.
D。 The things it needs to make electricity are easy to find.
( ） 39. The Plant Lamp’s inventor believes it could be most helpful for 。
A. Rainforest B. Cars C。 Poor people in D. Farmers communities cities
( ) 40. What is the purpose of the passage?

Dear diary，
I went to the Guangdong Museum with my schoolmates to do some voluntary work today.Students from three grades took part in it and worked as different roles. Students of Grade Seven worked as guides who took visitors to different rooms。 And those of Grade Eight played a short opera, introducing Guangzhou history to tourists。 As for students of Grade Nine， they made beautiful posters which helped people know Lingnan Culture better。
In my opinion, it is of great help to hold such activities。 On one hand， it is a good chance for us students to develop a sense of responsibility as well as our work ability. On the other hand, the history and culture can be passed on from one generation to another。
