It’s about a doctor who creates a new man from the body parts of dead people and brings it to life. But the experiment goes wrong and the monster(怪兽) kills the doctor and many others. The story has been read by millions since it was first published and in the last hundred years it has been made into dozens of movies. Many people are surprised to learn its writer was a 19-year-old woman, called Mary Shelley.Mary was born into a rich London family in August 1797. She was educated by her parents and when she was 13 she decided to become a writer. In 1812, she met the famous writer Percy Shelley and they soon got married. Sadly for Mary, their first child died soon after birth in Italy. In her diary, Mary wrote about a dream: “I dreamt that my little baby came to life again--- that it had only been cold and that we rubbed it before the fire and it lived.”In 1816, Percy Shelley and 19-year-old Mary visited the poet Lord Byron at his home in Switzerland. Because of the bad weather they stayed indoors reading horror stories. One night, Byron asked everyone to write their own story. Mary thought of her dream and wrote the story Frankenstein.Frankenstein was published when Mary was 21, and became a huge success. Many people didn’t think a 19-year-old woman could write so well and believed her husband was the real writer.Although famous, Shelley’s life was full of sadness. Only one of her four children lived and in 1822 her husband died in a swimming accident. Mary was broken-hearted and decided not to marry again.

Actually, most people experience nervousness at some time or another.If you are feeling anxious, my advice is to first find the cause or causes. Make a list of those things that are making you nervous and work out which ones you can do something about. Focus all of your efforts on managing the causes that you can control.Most people cannot tell the difference between controllable (可控制的) and uncontrollable causes, so things they can’t control become a big reason for nervousness. Dealing with this is very important if people want to keep a healthy mind.Simply try to accept the uncontrollable causes of nervousness. You might be worried about the weather on a big day, an accident or an attack on the train, or perhaps just things that other people are doing at work. The results may be very important but there is still no use worrying because you can’t control any of these things. Accept that you can’t control everything. Once you understand this, it becomes easier not to worry.If a situation, such as swimming, is causing you to be anxious, try to face it as often as possibly so that you can get used to it.It can often help to think about yourself doing the thing that makes you nervous--- then close your eyes and imagine it going well. Imagine how the flight or job interview is going to happen so that you can get used to it. This will help you understand that the thing you fear most is probably not going to happen.56. Who wrote this passage?A. A reporter.B. A sportsman.C. A patient.D. A professor.57. The writer thinks there is no use worrying about some causes of nervousness because ______.A. most are not very important.B. they are not the real causes of the problem.C. they cannot be controlled by people.D. it’s better to deal with one cause at a time.58. If swimming makes you nervous, what should you do according to the writer?A. Go swimming often to get used to it.B. Avoid going to the swimming pool.C. Find a swimming teacher.D. Imagine watching others swim.59. What is true about nervousness according to the passage?A. It usually has only one cause.B. It is usually caused by people.C. People can easily manage it.D. Most people suffer from it.60. What is the main purpose of this passage?A. To introduce the writer’s sports experience.B. To advise on how to deal with nervousness.C.
