Quiz 3	READING COMPREHENSION
Q1.   READ THE ARTICLE ABOUT SHANGHAI. THEN CHECK THE FOUR TRUE STATEMENTS.
Shanghai A CITY OF SUPERLATIVES Shanghai was China’s first really modern city. Over a century ago, the city had the country’s first banks, streetlights, and telephones. Today, after fifty fairly quiet years, Shanghai is again becoming the most exciting and futuristic city in Asia.                    You see the changes most clearly in Pudong, an area across the river from old Shanghai. Not long ago, Pudong was an empty piece of land. These days, tall, modern skyscrapers crowd the area. The world’s highest hotel – The Grand Hyatt – occupies floors 53-87 of the 420-meter Jin Mao Tower, the tallest building in China. (The world’s highest swimming pool is also in this hotel.) And Pudong will soon have an even taller building. Work has already started on the World Financial Center. This building will rise over 460 meters high and will have a huge open circle in the top. This interesting feature will allow the wind to blow through freely.             The world’s fastest train connects Pudong with Shanghai’s airport, some 30 kilometers away. So what’s the travel time between Pudong and the airport? A little less than 7 ½ minutes.
