A. READING
Read the following selection:

The Taj Mahal, in India, is one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. In 1631, Shah Jehan built the Taj Mahal as a tomb for his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal.
Shan Jehan loved his wife very much. He wanted her tomb to be perfect. He didn’t care about time or money. He found the finest workmen in all Asia. Altogether, over 20,000 different men worked on the building. It took over seventeen years to finish it.
The building rests on a platform of red sandstone. Four slender white towers, or minarets, rise from the corners of the terrace. A large dome rises from the center of the building. Around this large dome there are four smaller domes. There is a long narrow pool in front of the main entrance to the building.
