The Taj Mahal
Shah Jahan finished building Taj Mahal in 1648. He was a rich and powerful emperor, and he built the Taj Mahal as a memorial for his wife.  【小题1】  The word “taj” means crown, “Mahal” was the name of his wife. Twenty thousand people worked for 18 years to complete this beautiful domed(圆顶屋) building. A thousand elephants carried huge stones and jewels from all over India and central Asia to the Taj. Shah Jahan wanted this memorial to be a burial place for himself and his wife.
The Taj Mahal is on the Yamuna River in Agra in northern India.  【小题2】   Its picture is in most travel books and brochures. It is open daily from sunrise to sunset. For about fifteen rupees (or about US$0.33), anyone can enter this peaceful and quiet place.

At daybreak, the Taj Mahal’s white walls turn rose. At noon, they blaze(发光)white. At dusk, they become dark grey.  【小题3】

Everything is arranged carefully in fours.  【小题4】  The garden is divided into four parts. There are straight rows of colorful flowers and trees in each of the parts.
