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. On night, Byron asked everyone to write their own story. Mary thought of her dream and wrote the story of 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 in 1851.

“No,” Jerry said, “15when I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared.”
“A nurse asked if I was allergic (过敏的) to anything. ‘Yes’ I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped 16as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘17!’”
“Over the laughter, I told them, ‘Please 18on me as if I am alive, not dead.’”

Anger is good for you, as long as you control it, according to new psychology research. A new study from Carnegie Mellon University shows anger may help people reduce the negative impacts of stress and help you become healthier.
“Here getting emotional is not bad for you if you look at the case of anger,” said Jennifer Lerner of Carnegie Mellon. “The more people display anger, the lower their stress responses.”
Lerner studied 92 UCLA students by asking them to count back from 6,200. They must say out loud every thirteenth number. Researchers disturbed them by asking them to count faster or ask them other questions. If they made any mistakes, they had to restart from the very beginning. Many students felt depressed about making so many mistakes or got angry.
Lerner used a hidden video camera and recorded all their facial expressions during the test. The researchers describe their reactions as fear, anger and disgust.
Other researchers recorded the students’ blood pressure, pulse and production of a high-stress hormone(荷尔蒙)called cortisol. People whose faces showed more fear during the experiment had higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone. Both can have lasting effects such as diabetes(糖尿病), heart disease, depression and extra weight gain.
When people feel fear, negative impacts increase, but when they get angry, those negatives go down, according to the study.
“Having that sense of anger leads people to actually feel some power in what otherwise is a maddening(令人发狂的)situation,” Lerner said.
Lerner previously studied Americans’ emotional response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks two months after the incident. She found people who reacted with anger were more optimistic. These people are healthier compared with those who were frightened during the event. So in maddening situations, anger is not a bad thing to have. It’s a healthier response than fear.

  1. 1.

    What is the story mainly about?

    1. A.
      The findings of new psychology research.
    2. B.
      What you can do with anger in certain cases.
    3. C.
      Different effects produced by anger and fear.
    4. D.
      Healthier responses in maddening situations.
  2. 2.

    Which statement will Jennifer Lerner agree with?

    1. A.
      It’s better to be angry than to be frightened.
    2. B.
      Different reactions reflect different outlooks on life.
    3. C.
      Don’t control your anger and it makes you powerful.
    4. D.
      Pessimistic people are generally healthier than optimistic people.
  3. 3.

    What does the underlined word “both” refer to according to the passage?

    1. A.
      Fear and anger.
    2. B.
      Blood pressure and pulse.
    3. C.
      Blood pressure and cortiso1.
    4. D.
      Higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone.
  4. 4.

    In what ways can anger be beneficial to people?

    1. A.
      By showing their optimistic side.
    2. B.
      By reducing their stress.
    3. C.
      By reducing high blood pressure.
    4. D.
      By taking the place of fear.
  5. 5.

      recording their performance secretly
    2. B.
      asking them to count to 6, 200 again and again
