It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shined the headlights on the sand. The r
18、escuers would not give up. After trying many times they were finally able to lift the whale into the water. Everyone cheered when it headed out to sea.

Tea was not t
23、he only thing that caused the war, of course, but it played a very big part.The British peoples love of tea is well-known. When the British won control over mush of North America in the early 1700s, they brought their tea- drinking habits with them. Tea quickly became the continents most popular dri
24、nk. As tea could not be grown locally, just as in Britain, it was shipped into the countrymostly from India.In the early 1700s, the Britain government made a special deal with the East India Company, as an English trading company. They agreed that no other company was allowed to bring tea to Britain
25、 or any 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 h
26、igh prices. Instead od overpaying for tea from the British, they turned to Dutch traders, who secretly brought tea to the country that was just as goodand much less expensive. Although this broke the law, the American people didnt care. They got the same cup of tea at a much lower price.The East Ind
27、ia Company, however, didnt like this at all. By the 1760s, they were losing millions of pounds each year to Dutch tradersa 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
28、for help and the government agreed.In 1767, the British introduced new law 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
29、 government not to do so, but the British refused to listen. These unfair laws increased Americans anger about British rule and the rest, as they say, is history.31.

(C) Getting electricity has always been a problem for the 173 people living in Nuevo Saposoa, a small village in Peru, So
33、uth America. However, things went from bad to 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
34、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 village lies. The lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden box and use
35、s it to light up an LED light bulb.While that may sound amazing and even impossible, the science behind the ides is quite simple. As plants create their food (using the suns energy, water and chemicals from the soil), they also produce waste which they return to the soil. Tiny animals in the soil ea
36、t this waste and they produce electrons the building blocks of electrical energy. The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to capture the energy and keep it in the lamps batteries for later use. The researchers say a single charge can power a 50-watt Led light for two hours - enough time for l
37、ocal 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!
