Frankenstein is one of the world s most famous horror stories. 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. She devoted herself to her child and continued to write until her death in1851.

I am a professor of sports and exercise so I often deal with nervousness in my research

with sports people. 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.
