What reading level is Appearances book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The old imperial city, where once the Ming dynasty reigned, wasdestroyed in the Taiping Rebellion. The Tartar city, where before therevolution 3000 mandarins lived on their pensions, was burnt in thesiege of 1911. Of these cities nothing remains but their huge walls andgates and the ruins of their houses. The principal interest of Nanking, the so-called "Ming tombs, " lies outside the walls. And the interest isnot the tombs, but the road to them. It is lined by huge figures carvedout of monolit...hs. Brutes first--lions, camels, elephants, horses, a pairof each lying down and a pair standing; then human figures, military andcivil officers. What they symbolise I cannot tell. They are said toguard the road. And very impressive they are in the solitude. Not sowhat they lead to, which is merely a hill, artificial, I suppose, piledon a foundation of stone. Once, my guide informed me, there was a doorgiving admission; and within, a complete house, with all its furniture, in stone. But the door is sealed, and for centuries no one has exploredthe interior.
