If there is a building which symbolizes a country—such as the Eiffel Tower for France and Sydney Opera House for Australia—then it has to be the Taj Mahal for India.

It was set up by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1653 in memory of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. From the time they got married, they wouldn't be separated. She followed him to wars, advised him on affairs of state, and was loved by his people for her good work. But she died in 1631 during childbirth. The emperor was heart－broken and had the Taj Mahal built as a sign of his love.

It took more than 20 years for the Taj Mahal to be built. Workers were brought in, not only from all over India, but from Central Asia too. A total of 20,000 people worked on the building.

In 1657, Shah Jahan fell ill, and in 1658 his son Aurangzeb, imprisoned (囚禁) his father and seized power. Shah Jahan stayed in prison until his death in 1666. He was finally buried there with his wife he could never forget.

The Taj Mahal is definitely worth more than a single visit. As it is built with white marble stones, its character changes in different lights. It looks more beautiful at sunrise and sunset. At sunset, for example, the colour of the Taj changes from white to yellow, then to pink. As the moon rises, it turns a silvery white.

To show respect to the Taj, tourists are asked to take off their shoes during their visit.

1.Emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal to ________.

A．make it symbolize India　 B.memorise his wife

C．show his great power　 　 D．give his wife a present

2.Which of the following about the Taj Mahal is NOT true?

A．It is a symbol of India.

B．It took over 20 years to build the Taj Mahal.

C．All workers building the Taj Mahal came from Central Asia.

D．The Taj Mahal was built with white marble stones.

3.According to the passage, we know that Shah Jahan ______.

A．lived a hard life in his last few years

B．lost his life just because of his old age

C．was not popular with his people at that time

D．treated his son badly when he was young

4.The word “seize” in the fourth paragraph may most probably mean ________.

A．throw　 B．memorise　　 C．give　 D．capture

Sydney is Australia’s most exciting city. The history of Australia begins here. In 1788 Captain Arthur Phillips arrived in Sydney with 11 ships and 1,024 passengers (including 770 prisoners) from Britain. Today there are 2.5 million people in Sydney. It is the biggest city in Australia, and one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

There are over 20 fine beaches close to Sydney. Its warm summer and cool winter have made it a favorite city for immigrants (移民) from overseas. There are three things that make Sydney famous－its beautiful harbor, the Sydney Harbor Bridge, and the Sydney Opera House.

But there are many more interesting things in Sydney: beautiful shops and restaurants, for example, rows of interesting old houses built everywhere in the 19th century. Summer or winter, day or night, Sydney is an outdoor city.

Some Americans think it is very British. Some British visitors think it is like America. There is some truth in both these opinions, because Sydney takes from both the Old World－Europe, and the New World－America, and makes itself into something that is neither British nor American but truly Australian.

There is an old Spanish Proverb which states, “Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week”. 1.I’d say, too many. Our dreams should not, and cannot wait. We have to go for them now! Here’s why.

1. 2.

Nobody likes to talk about death, but the reality is – everybody is going to die at one point. None of us know the day, or the hour. Therefore, today is all we have. Don’t go to your grave with unfulfilled dreams. Make the decision to go after every dream, big or small right now.

2. The world is waiting for your gift

I know this may be hard to believe, but the world is waiting for YOU! Yes, YOU! 3.Sure, other people may be able to sing. But they’ll never be able to sing exactly like you. Sure other people can write, but they’ll never be able to write from the same perspective in which you write. Don’t deprive the world of your gift. It’s the oxygen that we need to survive. Thus, it is your responsibility to figure out exactly what your gift is, and use it to better your life and the lives of those around you.

3. 4.

You can dream about writing the great American play that you want, but it’s never going to happen unless you actually put pen to paper. You can dream about finding a cure for cancer, but it will never happen unless you actually go to school to become equipped with the necessary tools to find that cure. 5. They require you to get your head out of the clouds, and actually do the work to make them happen. Get to it!

A. You can‘t let fear win.

B. Tomorrow is not promised.

C. In other words, dreams don’t work unless you do.

D. How many times have we put off our dreams until tomorrow?

E. You were born into the world with a unique gift, which nobody on this earth can copy.

F. Possibilities you never knew existed are waiting on you.

G. Unless you take the first step, your dreams will never come true.
