A.Read the text and decide whether they are True or False.(10 points)

From the seven wonders of the world, only The Pyramids of Egypt remains today. The three great pyramids of Giza were built by the pharaohs Khufu, Khafre, and Menkure. The Pyramid of Khufu is the oldest and largest of them and is known as The Great Pyramid. It is the greatest single stone structure ever erected by man. The original height was 146 m., now reduced to 137 m. Approximately 2.300.000 blocks of stone, each weighing an average of 2.5 tons, were used. The monument is a masterpiece of technical skill and ability. The geometrical precision of its layout is truly amazing and the question of how the pyramid was built has not received a wholly satisfactory answer. The ancient Egyptians did not use the wheel and certainly had no knowledge of pulleys and winches so building this monument took thirty years. Egyptians did this hard work to reach eternal life, which means they expected to live after death.
