It is at Agra in northern India. It lies beside the River Jumma in the middle of gardens with quiet pools.The Taj Mahal was built by the Mogul emperor (皇帝) Shah Jehan, who ruled India in the seventeenth 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.It took 22 years to build the Taj Mahal. Shah Jehan planned a similar building, but in black instead of white, to lie on the other side of the river. But before it could be built, Shah Jehan was imprisoned (监禁) by his son and buried next to his wife in the Taj Mahal.【解题导语】本文主要讲述了泰姬陵的一些信息。

Ⅳ. 完形填空Why dogs eat grassThese summer days，when I take my dog Raja for a walk，he always wants to stop and eat grass.

He will do anything to keep from vomiting，so that doesn't seem to be the 4 . I feed him pretty wet food，and he 5 it very well，with well­formed stools(粪便)．Digestive troubles do not seem to apply to Raja either.

So much for that hypothesis.Then there's vomiting.I found another 14 that looked at whether dogs vomit more when they eat grass. In it，they surveyed 1,571 dog owners on the Internet and 15 that 79 percent of the dogs ate grass，and of these，only 9 percent were 16 before they ate the grass，and 22 percent vomited 17 eating the grass. These results show that the vomiting hypothesis doesn't seem to be 18 either. So why do dogs eat grass?Ask yourself that question the next time you 19 a delicious salad.
