When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of shouting at him or punishing him, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have never seen such a huge puddle（水洼）of milk. Would you like to play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up？"

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.

In 1816, Percy Shelley and 19-year-odl May 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 in 1851.

九年级英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

You may have heard of the old story about the world's most whole-hearted fisherman. He had out-fished his friend all morning long. They used the same live bait (鱼饵), the same equipment and fished together in the same mountain stream. But he had almost caught a bucket of fish while his friend had yet to catch even one.

"What's your secret?" asked the friend. "I haven't even gotten any one!"

The successful fisherman emptied the bait of his mouth into a cupped hand and replied. "You have to keep your worms (鱼虫) warm."

Whether or not we fish or even eat fish, there is a lesson to be learned here. We are most likely to succeed when we fully put our hearts into a task. Especially if the task before us is difficult or there seems little probability of success. Whether we want to build a new business or write that first novel, we should see how willing we are to do what it takes-even if it means keeping the worms warm.

So I often ask myself. "How much do I want this?" when some people fish, if they don't catch, they don't eat. Some things are too important for me to risk failure. So how much do I want to succeed at this career (事业) or this dream? And how hard am I willing to work? If "success" only comes before "work" in the dictionary, I may have to work harder than I've ever worked before. But if I want it enough, the hard work will be worth it.

"Always bear in mind," said Abraham Lincoln, "that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing."

And that is where it always begins: with a whole-hearted resolution to succeed—in a task, in a career, in a life. How much do you want this? And, how hard are you willing to work? Start there, and great things can happen.

1.Paragraph 1 is mainly about the old story of ________.

A.two friends B.Abraham Lincoln C.some baits D.a fisherman

2.The lesson we learned is to ________ from Paragraphs 2-4.

A.only keep the worms warm B.write the first novel soon

C.put our hearts into any task D.be willing to do nothing

3.Why does the writer often ask himself the two questions?

A.See if he has been whole-hearted. B.Be able to risk failure anytime.

C.Find out if the hard work is worth it. D.Work less harder than before.

4.What does the word "it" in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A.Career. B.Dream. C.Success. D.Work.

5.What does the writer want to tell us according to the last two paragraphs?

A.Own your resolution is the most important.

B.Do as Abraham Lincoln says, you'll succeed.

C.To succeed begins with a whole-hearted resolution.

D.Start anywhere, and great things can always happen.
