Now we’re going to read another passage about science fiction, whose title is the Story of Dr Frankenstein. Background Dr Frankenstein is a fictitious scientist portrayed by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelly, who was Shelly’s wife. She was honored as a pioneer of the science fiction . Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft , English novelist. Daughter of the British philosopher William Godwin and the British author and feminist Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, she was born in London, and privately educated. She met the young poet Percy Bysshe Shelley in May 1814, and two months later left England with him. When Shelley's first wife died in December 1816, he married Mary. In 1818 her first and most important work, the novel Frankenstein was published. A remarkable accomplishment for a 20-year-old, the work was an immediate critical and popular success. Repeatedly dramatized for both the theater and motion pictures, this tale of Frankenstein, a student of the occult, and the subhuman monster he assembles from parts of human corpses added a new word to the English language: A "Frankenstein" is any creation that ultimately destroys its creator. No other work by Mary Shelley achieved the popularity or excellence of this first work, although she wrote four other novels, books of travel sketches, and miscellaneous tales and verse. One of her novels, The Last Man, reveals her liberal social outlook; another of her books, Lodore , is a novelized autobiography. Skimming Read the passage as quickly as possible, and answer the following question: What did Dr Frankenstein create at last? (He had planned to create a larger human being but at last it turned out a living horror.) Scanning Now please read the text again and discuss : How many periods can Dr Frankenstein’s experiment be divided? Period 1 (Paragraph 1------Paragraph 3) He decided to crate life from dead matter.

( He felt very disappointed and decided to pioneer a new way himself.) Paragraph 3 What attracted his attention? ( The structure of the human body and any animal that was alive attracted his attention.) What did he discover? (He discovered the cause of life and how to create life from dead matter.) Period 2 Paragraph 4 Although he knew how to create life, what remained a difficult work for him? ( How to prepare a body for it with all its muscles and organs still remained a difficult job for him.) Paragraph 5 Why did he decide to create a larger human being than man about eight feet in height? (Because the small size of the parts slowed down his speed.) Period 3 Paragraph 6 How did he create a life form that looks like a human being? Please rearrange the following steps in the right order. He gained many materials from butcher shops and hospitals. He finished his work on a night in November. The dead creature came to life at one in the morning. He lighted the flame of life into the dead thing.

Native Tongue

At first Kate thought the Romanian girl could not speak and understand English. Nadia would not reply to anything Kate said. Kate was in charge of showing Nadia around on her first day at Buckminster Grade School. Kate could not figure out why the school had put Nadia in a class where she could not understand what people were saying.

“Why did they do this?” Kate wondered aloud. “I mean, you can’t learn if you can’t understand the teacher.”

Nadia’s voice was a whisper. “I understand English. I will learn.” Nadia’s English was perfect.

Kate was perplexed. She couldn’t understand why Nadia did not like to speak. Then she realized that moving to a new country probably wasn’t the easiest thing to do. There were hundreds of unfamiliar and unusual things to learn all at the same time.

“There’re a lot of new things to learn, huh?” said Kate.

Nadia nodded rapidly. In a quiet voice she replied, “Many things people say, I do not understand. I have been speaking English and Romanian all my life, but I do not know what some children are saying. For example, yesterday a boy asked if I could help him find the USB port on a thin black box he was carrying. Isn’t a port a place for ships? I was confused.”

“Don’t worry,” said Kate. “You’ll figure everything out in time. You see, that thin black box was a computer. A USB port is a place where you can connect other machines to a computer.”

Nadia and Kate were quiet after that. They took notes while the teacher gave a maths lesson. To Kate’s surprise, Nadia put up her hand and offered to answer questions at the blackboard.

Nadia handled every question the teacher gave her. Some of the questions were really difficult, and no one understood what was going on except Nadia and the teacher. When the teacher said that Nadia answered everything correctly, the whole class clapped their hands.

Nadia was smiling when she sat back down next to Kate. “Some things,” she said in a normal voice, “are the same all over the world.”

The key to happiness is how quickly you can get back your focus on what’s important.

-----Anonymous

Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson in the back of a New York City taxi cab. Here's what happened. I hopped in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station. We were driving in the right lane when, all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car’s back end by just inches!

The driver of the other car, who almost caused a big accident, started yelling bad words at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was friendly. So, I said, "Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!" And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call "The Law of the Garbage Truck."

Many people are like garbage (rubbish) trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it. And if you let them, they'll dump it on you. When someone wants to dump on you, don't take it personally. You just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. You'll be happy you did.

I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets? It was that day I said, "I'm not going to do anymore."

Good leaders know they have to be ready for their next meeting. Good parents know that they have to welcome their children home from school with hugs and kisses. Leaders and parents know that they have to be fully present, and at their best for the people they care about. The bottom line is that successful people do not let Garbage Trucks take over their day. What about you? What would happen in your life, starting today, if you let more garbage trucks pass you by? Here's my bet. You'll be happier. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So, Love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don't.

57. What happened one day when the author was taking a taxi?

A. The taxi almost hit another car.

B. The taxi driver was injured.

C. The author scolded the driver of the other car.

D. The author learned a lesson from the driver of the garbage truck.

58. How did the taxi driver respond to the behaviour of the driver of the black car?

A. He yelled back at the driver.            B. He sent the driver to the hospital.

C. He was friendly towards the driver.  D. He dumped some garbage in front of his car.

59. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?

A. The author used to have a lot of garbage trucks.

B. The author used to complain a lot.

C. The author used to have a lot of money.

D. The author used to be a good manager.

60. According to the passage, what should you do if people “dump garbage” on you?

A. Ignore them and go on with our own work.

B. Try our best to persuade them not to do that again.

C. Tell them to dump the garbage in the right place.

D. Take over their work and carry the garbage to somewhere else.

Dad taught me a lot about life, especially its hard times. I remembered one of his ___21___ one night when I was ready to ___22___ a political campaign I was losing, and wrote about it in my diary.

Tired, feeling the months of ___23___ in vain, I went up to my study to make some notes. I was looking for a pencil in the back of my desk drawer ___24___ I turned up one of Dad’s old business cards that he was proud of: Andrea Cuomo Italian-American Groceries --- Fine Imported Products. Then I thought about how he ___25___ with difficult situations. A lot of pictures ___26___ into my mind, but one scene came sharply into ___27___.

We had just moved to Holliswood, New York. We had our own house for the first time; it had some land around it, even trees. One, ___28___, was a great blue spruce (云杉) that must have been 40 feet tall.

Less than a week after we moved in, there was a terrible storm. We came home from the store that night to find the spruce pulled almost ___29___ from the ground and thrown onto the street. When my brother Frankie and I saw the spruce, our hearts ___30___. But not Dad’s.

The rain was falling. Then he ___31___ , “Ok, we’re going to push him up!” “ What are you talking about, Dad? The ___32___ are out of the ground!” “ Shut up, we’re going to push him up, he’s going to grow again.” We couldn’t say ___33___ to him. So we ___34___ him into the house and got what rope ___35___ was and tied it around the top of the tree that lay on the street, and then he stood up by the house, ___36___ me pulling on the rope, and Frankie in the street in the rain, ___37___ to push up the great blue spruce. In no ___38___ at all, we had him standing up straight again! Dad ___39___ the stakes (桩) in the ground, tied the rope from the trunk to the stakes, and said, “ Don’t worry. He’s going to grow again…”

   I looked at the card and wanted to cry. I ___40 ___ wait to get back into the campaign.
