If it didn t exist, we would easily imagine that the story of its construction was simply a fairy tale. Three hundred years ago, there lived an Indian emperor called Shah Jahan. His wife was a beautiful and bright woman whom he loved greatly. Her title was Mumtazl Mahanits shortened form Taj Mahal, means “pride of the palace”. In the year 1630 this beloved wife of the emperor died. He was so broken-hearted 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 never 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 platform, 29 square meters and 6-7 meters high. Towers rise from each of the four corners. The Taj itself soars 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 wife.36.

Around 1870, it was experiencing an economic boom, and the capital, Buenos Aires, attracted many people. Farmers, as well as a flood of foreigners from Spain and Italy, came to Buenos Aires seeking jobs. These jobs didnt pay well, and the people felt lonely and disappointed with their new life in the city.

This interest in international dance was especially evident in Paris. Every kind of dance from ballet(芭蕾舞)to belly dancing could be found on the stages of the Paris theaters of the Paris theaters. After tango dances from Argentina arrive in Europe, they began to draw the interest of the public an they performed their exiting dance in cafes, Though not everyone approved of the new dance, saying it was a little too shocking, the dance did find enough supporters to make it popular. The popularity of the tango continued to grow in many other parts of the world. Soldiers who returned to the United States from World War I brought the tango to North America, It reached Japan in 1926, and in 2003 the Argentinean embassy in Seoul hired a local tango dancer to act an a kind of dance ambassador, and promote tango dancing throughout South Korea.44.

The sun heats up lakes, oceans, and other wet places on Earth. When the water gets warm enough, it changes into vapour. Plants also give off lots of water vapour. Some of this water vapour cools off high in the sky and becomes clouds. Then it falls back to Earth in a new place as rain or snow. This cycle happens over and over again. The ground can absorb water like a sponge (海绵). If you could see this groundwater, it wouldnt look like a lake or river. The groundwater is mixed in with the rocks and sand that lie in layers(层) below Earths surface. Groundwater moves along slowly. How slowly? Maybe 1.5 kilometres in one century. Some of this water has been underground for thousands of years. And once groundwater is pumped out of the ground from a deep well by people, it may take hundreds of years for another water to take its place.48.In which order does water go around Earth?a .Fall down as rain or snow. b.

I was mad at Mom for divorcing（与离婚） Dad.I kept looking at the telephone until I couldnt stand it any longer. I picked up the receiver and dialed Dads number over in Bakersfield. I even remembered to dial 1 first because it was long distance. “You promised to phone me this week but you didnt,” I said, feeling I had to talk to him.“Take it easy, kid,” he said. “I just didnt get around to it. I was going to call this evening. The week isnt over yet.”I thought about that.“Something on your mind?” he asked.“I hoped you would call, so I waited and waited.” Then I was sorry I said it.“There was heavy snow in the morning,” he said, “I had to chain up on highway 80 and lost time.”I know putting chain s on eight big wheels in the snow is no fun. I felt a little better, as long as we were talking. “How is Bandit?” I asked.There was a funny silence. For a minute I thought the line was dead. Then I knew something must have happened to my dog.“Well, kid”, he began. “My name is Leigh!” I almost yelled. “Im not just some kid you met on the street!”“Keep your shirt on, Leigh,” he said. “When I had to stop along with some other truckers to put on chains, I left Bandit out of the cab, I thought he would get back I have sent out a call to CB radio, but I didnt get an answer yet.” I was about to say I understood when there came the bad part, the really bad part.
