• 2．If there is a building which symbolizes （象征） 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 heartbroken and had the Taj Mahal built as a sign of his love.

• 3．It was nearly dark；the sun was dropping down the mountains far away.Little Tom came back home，with tears in his eyes.

"I failed.The mountain is so high and full of big or small stones on the way，I still go ahead.But I was tired and it was so late that I had to come back." Tom cried. "It doesn't matter，you are only 14 years old after all.You will have another chance." His mother said. "But，standing at the top of the mountain is my dream!" Tom said.His father came over and asked， "Did you see the green trees on your way to the mountain？" "Sure，and there were a lot of beautiful flowers by the side of the road." Tom replied. "Did you hear the birds singing？" His father asked. "There were many kinds of birds singing in the trees，and the sound was very sweet." Tom said. "Did you feel the beauty of nature？" His father asked. "Yes，the blue sky，the white clouds，the green trees and the colorful flowers made a nice picture." Tom answered. "That's enough!" His father smiles and said， "Please remember，my son.For often，achieving what you expect is not the most important thing.Although you didn't reach the top of the mountain，you got a lot on the way."
