Read the passage given below and answer the questions

given in the worksheet.

The Majestic Tower that Beckons

Have you ever wondered about those tall

structures that are landmarks along every

shore all over the world? Lighthouses. We

see them in pictures and in movies and

along every seashore. Tall, stately

structures looking out to sea, warning the

incoming ships of approaching land. Did

you know what served as a lighthouse in

the early years?

The locals from the area would light a fire at a height to warn

boats of any impending dangers like rocks or even land. The

early constructors of lighthouse included the Greeks, Romans

and Phoenicians.

How do you think these lighthouses showed the way to incoming

ships? Those were the days when technology had not taken over

the world. The lighthouses used lamps to guide the ships.

However, these lamps could throw light only as far as a few

miles into the sea. It was only much later that mirrors, prisms,

electricity and the automatic working of a lighthouse came to be.

It is indeed amazing what these stately structures out in lonely

locations across the world mean to the sailors as they near land

after days out at sea.

Did you know that the Lighthouse of Alexandria is one of the

Seven Wonders of the Ancient World? It was located on the island

of Pharos in Egypt and it was built in 290 BC. The lighthouse

used to fire at night and reflected the sunrays during the day to

warn sailors of land. This monument is a legacy in the world today

although it was destroyed by several earthquakes that hit it in the

1300s. Today, in its place stands a fort built in 1480 using the

marble and stones from the lighthouse, a breath-taking structure

that came down ravaged by nature.

Here are some lesser-known facts about the lighthouses.

The United States is home to more lighthouses than any other

country.

With more than 115 lighthouses along the Great

Lakes, Michigan boasts the most lighthouses of any U.S. state.

The world's oldest existing lighthouse is considered to be Tower

of Hercules, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The

lighthouse, which was erected in the first century, is still

operational.

The most expensive lighthouse built in America is St. George

Reef, near Crescent City, California. It took 10 years to

construct and cost $715,000.

Lighthouse keeping was one of the first U.S. government jobs

available to women, going back to the 19th century.

Despite advances in

technology,

lighthouses are still

considered aids to

navigation by the

U.S. Coast Guard.

Towers are given

different colours

and patterns --

diamonds, spirals and stripes, for example -- to distinguish them

from each other.
