Few buildings on earth can compete with the legendary beauty of the Taj Mahal. Towering over the ancient Indian city of Agra, the Taj Mahal is the grandest monument (纪念碑) to love ever created.
The lovers in this story are the 17th century Indian emperor Shah Jehan and his wife Mumtaz Mahal. She took a leading role in advising him, which is something unusual for a woman to do for a husband who’s an emperor. Over the course of their nineteen-year marriage she gave birth to 14 children. But in 1631 while trying to deliver their fifteenth — she tragically died. He was heartbroken when she died. And after her death, he decided to build the world’s greatest monument ever built, for love.
He ordered the royal architects to design the most beautiful building the world had known and decided to name it after his beloved, Mumtaz Mahal. He called on twenty thousand workers and sent many more people to all corners of his country in search of valuable metals and jewels. And after seventeen years of hard work, Shah Jehan’s monument was completed and his beloved empress was moved to her final resting place.
Everything had gone according to plan, but Shah Jehan’s luck was about to change ... In 1658, just four years after the completion of the Taj Mahal, he was thrown out of power. Unfortunately, his son, Aran Azibe imprisoned him, his own father. And he spent the last seven years of his life in prison. And he was allowed to look at the Taj Mahal through a window.

Building the thinking habit is important because it helps you live with a purpose. How can we build the thinking habit? Here are some tips.
Be curious
Curiosity is powerful. 1. It also helps you recognize the ideas when they come. Curiosity is an important attitude to have in building the thinking habit.
Read widely
If you want to come up with good ideas, you need to feed your mind with good ideas. 2.This will give you fresh, new ideas. Don’t just read from the fields you are familiar with. Read from other fields as well.
Read actively
Not only should you read widely, but also you should read actively. Find some ideas and think about how you can use them. My favorite way to do this is by highlighting the book I read. I will then put the actionable ideas in my idea journal (笔记). 3.
Keep an idea journal
When you find a good idea, don’t just keep it in your mind. Instead, write it down to catch the idea. 4. Keeping an idea journal makes you more sensitive to new ideas. You will quickly recognize them because you already have the habit of catching ideas.
5.
Of course, it doesn’t do you much good if you just write down ideas. Take time to read these ideas every now and then. In my case, I mark the ideas that I consider important and review them regularly. This often opens the way to new ideas.
A. Design your own ideas
B. Go over your ideas
C. In this way, others can also benefit from your ideas.
D. One way to do that is to read.
E. Otherwise, the idea might be gone forever.
F. It makes you like finding new ideas.
G. This helps me get the most out of the book.

Pangolins (穿山甲), the world’s only mammals with scales (鳞片), have existed on earth for about 60 million years. Pangolins are very sensitive creatures and most of them don’t like staying indoors. In the wild, they’re slow to reproduce and give birth to only one baby at a time. Pangolins are alone and shy — nearly impossible for even the most devoted field researchers to catch sight of.
However, over recent ten years, their wild population has decreased greatly. More than a million pangolins are believed to have been taken from the wild in Asia and Africa. In the first eight days of April 2019 alone, authorities caught two 14-ton shipments of pangolin scales in Singapore, representing about 72,000 animals and worth a combined $90 million. In February, Malaysian seized a 33-ton shipment of mostly whole, frozen pangolins.
“The present scale of trade could drive this species to extinction,” said an Indian official.
If the illegal pangolin trade continues at such high levels, it’s thought that another 10 years might see them die out altogether. The trade is caused by a series of factors, but the fact that the local government doesn’t make strict laws against it plays a major role.
Another big challenge facing pangolins is that so few people know what they are and why they’re in such danger. As National Geographic Photo Ark photographer Joel Sartore says, “You won’t save what you don’t love.”
1.According to Paragraph 1, pangolins ______.
A.are rare mammals B.like living indoors
C.are outgoing but sensitive D.are easily found in the wild
2.What is the main reason for pangolins’ trade?
A.People in Africa like hunting pangolins.
B.Strict laws against it haven’t been made.
C.Pangolins’ population is increasing rapidly.
D.Pangolins have existed on earth for a long time.
3.What is the Indian official’s attitude towards the scales of trade?
A.Uncaring. B.Puzzled.
C.Supportive. D.Worried.
4.What is the main idea of the text?
A.Pangolins are hunted in Asia.
B.Pangolins are facing extinction.
C.People are trying to save Pangolins out of love.
D.Many countries are taking action to protect Pangolins.
