If there is a building which symbolizes a country—such as the Eiffel Tower for France and Sydney Opera House for Australia—then it has to be the Taj Mahal for India.
It was set up by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1653 in memory of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. From the time they got married, they wouldn't be separated. She followed him to wars, advised him on affairs of state, and was loved by his people for her good work. But she died in 1631 during childbirth. The emperor was heart-broken and had the Taj Mahal built as a sign of his love.
It took more than 20 years for the Taj Mahal to be built. Workers were brought in, not only from all over India, but from Central Asia too. A total of 20,000 people worked on the building.
In 1657, Shah Jahan fell ill, and in 1658 his son Aurangzeb, imprisoned (囚禁) his father and seized power. Shah Jahan stayed in prison until his death in 1666. He was finally buried there with his wife he could never forget.
The Taj Mahal is definitely worth more than a single visit. As it is built with white marble stones, its character changes in different lights. It looks more beautiful at sunrise and sunset. At sunset, for example, the colour of the Taj changes from white to yellow, then to pink. As the moon rises, it turns a silvery white.
To show respect to the Taj, tourists are asked to take off their shoes during their visit.
1.Emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal to ________.
A.make it symbolize India B.memorise his wife
C.show his great power D.give his wife a present
2.Which of the following about the Taj Mahal is NOT true?
A.It is a symbol of India.
B.It took over 20 years to build the Taj Mahal.
C.All workers building the Taj Mahal came from Central Asia.

3.According to the passage, we know that Shah Jahan ______.
A.lived a hard life in his last few years
B.lost his life just because of his old age
C.was not popular with his people at that time
D.treated his son badly when he was young
4.The word “seize” in the fourth paragraph may most probably mean ________.
