wife was a beautiful and bright woman whom he loved greatly. her title was mumtazl mahal: its shortened form taj mahal, means “pride of the palace”. in the year 1630 this beloved wife of the emperor died. he was so brokenhearted that he thought of giving up his throne. he decided out of his love for his wife, to build her the most beautiful tomb that had ever been seen. he summoned the best artists and architects from india, turkey, persia and arabia and finally, the design was complete. it took more than twenty thousand men working over a period of 18 years to build the taj mahal, one of the most beautiful buildings in the world.the building itself stands on a marble(大理石) platform 29 meters square and 6-7 meters high. towers rise from each of the four corners. the taj itself soars(耸立) another 61 meters into the air. it is an eight-sided building made of white marble. the emperor planned to build an identical tomb of black marble for himself on the other side of the river connected by a silver bridge. however, his son put him into a prison in the palace before he could finish, and for the rest of his life, he could only gaze across river at the tomb of his beloved

for company,” mrs. beck said. “we were just waking up.” the deer burst through the front door early on saturday, ran past the couples bedroom and into the bathroom. somehow he managed to turn on the water in the bathtub and knock over a bottle of bubble bath into the bathtub. he then got himself into the bubbly water. “you could hear the water running over the kicking,” beck said. the becks called state game commission officials, who arrived with tranquilizers (镇静剂) and a lot of laughter. “a guy said, theres nothing wrong hes just in there taking a bubble bath,” mrs. beck said. the animal was soon brought under control, removed from the house and released. “he was unharmed except for a little cut above the eye,” said mrs. beck. “we were also fortunate. there wasnt much damage, except for the front door, some marks on the tub, and a few hoof (蹄) prints on the floor.”25. when did the story take place?a. on the night of friday. b. on the late night of saturday. c. on the early

in salty water. seaweed is red or brown in color. the japanese people use these plants from the sea in many ways. from it, they make a food called kombu. kombu is seaweed that has been dried, cooked and pressed together. then it is dried again and cut into long pieces. the japanese eat a lot of kombu and like it very much. japanese farmers often use seaweed as fertilizer. it makes their plants grow better. many farmers also find seaweed makes a fine food for their animals. from seaweed the japanese also get iodine(碘), which they sell to other countries. iodine is used in many ways all over the world. it is used in making medicine. it is added to the salt we use at the table. scientists even use one form of iodine to “ seed clouds” when they want rain to fall.29. kombu is a kind of _

about anyone. happy and her husband ben, 70, have a huge garden. they spent many happy hours together working on it. most of the neighbors watched interestingly as ben doubled the size of their garden. as the cost of food climbed faster than bens beans, we all wished we also had such a large garden. as the rest of us spent our dollars at the market, happy could be seen picking beans in her back yard. last month, happy and ben invited most of the neighborhood over for an “all-day food fest”. we were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning. we didnt know what was about to take place. by 9:00 am, there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans, okra, and squash. by 10:00 am, there was lots of laughter. we shared a lot of stories. by five oclock, everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer. after dinner, we played games. as we were leaving, happy and ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty（收成）of the day, already packaged and frozen. what a delightful gift! well, the point wasnt so much about the food. the true gift was a day of friends enjoying one anothers company. none of it would have happened if it had been for happy and bens garden. now they have a blog about gardening in case we decided to plant a garden. and i am so proud of my tomato plants!32. we can infer that happy and her husband ben_. a. dont like
