It is at Agra in northern India. It lies beside the River Jumna in the middle of gardens with quiet pools.The Taj Mahal was built by the Mogul emperor Shah Jehan, who ruled India in the 17th century. It is in memory of his favorite wife, Arjumand Banu Bagam, known as Mumtaz Mahal, who died in 1631.The building, which was completed between 1632 and 1638, was designed by a local Muslim architect(建筑师) Ustad Ahmad Lahori. The whole building, with gardens and gateway structures, was completed in 1643. The Taj Mahal stands at one end of the garden tomb with marble(大理石) path. The room is softly lighted by the light that passes through double screens of carved marble set high in the walls. The building now is kept in good condition.The Taj Mahal took 23 years to build.

Going Over My Lessons（D）Eat like a king in the morning, a prince at noon, and a peasant at night. This saying is all about the importance of breakfast. And now scientists can tell us just why its so important. According to a study carried out at Imperial College London, UK, skipping the first meal of the day not only means you eat more at lunch, but also that your brain wants to find more unhealthy foods. The study suggests that there is a special part of our brain called the orbit frontal cortex (眶额皮层), which plays an important part in making choices about what we eat. It is used for identifying the taste of food, especially when skipping breakfast. It is more likely to target high-calorie foods when youre on an empty stomach. Scientists did an experiment on this. Dr Tony Goldstone from Imperial College London, scanned (扫描) the brains of 21 men and women, around the age of 25. On the first day, these people skipped breakfast before the scans. On the second day, they had cereal (谷物), bread and jam as breakfast. After the scan on both days, they had their lunch. When the volunteers had skipped breakfast, they ate around 20 percent more at lunch, compared with days when they had eaten breakfast. Their brain scans also showed the orbit frontal cortex was especially responsive to high-calorie foods. “We believe that bit identifies the value of foods how pleasant, how delicious something is,” Goldstone told The Guardian. 12. From Paragraph 1, we learn that _. A. scientists found out why eating breakfast is importantB. its easy to lose weight without breakfastC. theres no need to have good food for supperD. eating breakfast makes your brain smarter13. Which is the correct order for the experiment on the first day? The volunteers skipped breakfast. The volunteers had lunch. The volunteers had a brain scan. A. B. C. D.14. Which of the following is NOT true about the orbit frontal cortex?A. It is part of our brain. B. It tells people to eat breakfast.C. It decides which food we like. D. It is active toward high-calorie foods. 15. Which of the following can be the title for this passage?A. Breakfast still most important B. Three meals a dayC. Experiments on breakfast D.

Your interests are expanding. 16_Here is the challenge：Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers all out in that world. These conflicts（冲突） can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts cant be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.For instance, try to find a time to talk when your parents all not angry, tired, distracted, or hungry.
