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 mush 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 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 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 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 agre ed.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 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.1.In the early 1700s where did most tea drunk in America come from?A.China.B.India.C.America.D.Britain.2.

The introduction of British tea-drinking habits into America.BWeChat is popular among us，but if someone deletes you or blocks(屏蔽)you on it，does it mean you've made him or her angry?It depends.Maybe you have just left messages too often without much valuableinforma tion.For example，the questions are those like ‘how are u？’ ‘what are u doing？’ ‘do u love me？’ too often.You know，people may feel bored after answering such kinds of questions time after time.Another possible reason may be that you've sent something unpleasant to your friend or in your friend circle.I just blocked one of my middle school classmates yesterday because she was trying to sell fake goods in the friend circle，and I hate it quite much.Some people delete the one's name from friends' list because they no longer want to see it (maybe ex－boyfriend or ex－girlfriend) and they don't want the one to see their “Moments(动态)” on WeChat (maybe they publish very private pictures or life or thoughts they don't want to share with him or her)．So why you are blocked may depend on his or her mood or preference(喜好)，and the reasons why a person gets blocked are various from person to person.So I suggest you to write an email or make a phone call to that person if he or she really means a lot to you to see why he or she is dissatisfied with you，and to find out how you can make up for the case.1. From Paragraph 3，we can know if you are blocked that is because ________. A．you are asking too many boring questionsB．your friend is angryC．your friend doesn't like answering questionsD．your friend has no time to reply2.

A．4 B．2C．3 D．55. Which is the best title for the passage?A．Friend CircleB．Why Are You Blocked?C．A Popular Way of CommunicationD．How to Make Your Friend SatisfiedCSometimes people come into your life and you know at once that they were sure to be there.They serve some certain purpose，teach you a lesson or help find out who you are or who you want to become.You never know who these people may be：your classmate，neighbor，teacher，long－lost friend or even a real stranger.But you know that every moment they will influence your life in some serious way.Sometimes things happen to you.At the time they may seem terrible，painful and unfair.But later you realize that without overcoming those difficulties，you would have never realized your further ability and advantages.Everythin g happens for a reason and nothing happens by chance or with good or bad luck.The people you meet influence your life，and the success and failure you experience create who you are.Even the bad experience can be learned from.In fact，they are probably the most poignant and important ones.Enjoy every day even every moment and take from everything that you possibly can，for you may never be able to experience it again.Talk to people whom you have never talked to before，and really listen.You should set your goals high，hold your head up，tell yourself you are a great one and believe in yourself. You can make your life anything you wish.Create your own life and then go out and live it. 1.
