4．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（怪獸） 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 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．"

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．

3．Pakistan's mud mystery
On September 24，2013，an earthquake struck the southwest of Pakistan，taking more than 300lives and leaving hundreds of thousands homeless．But after the horrible disaster，people living by the coast received another shock---they saw a new island，which seemed to have appeared out of nowhere，in the sea just over a kilometer from the shore，which has become a global curiosity．
How was it formed in just a few minutes？
As we know，islands in the sea are usually formed by volcanoes．There are many volcanoes under the sea．As the hot lava （巖漿） rushes out of the earth's crust （地殼） and cools down，it piles up and forms the shape of a mountain．When the mountain grows higher than the sea level，the part that's above the water becomes an island．
This time the island was brought about by a"mud volcano"instead of by a regular volcano．Lava is not the only thing that's locked under the earth's crust---there is also gas．When an earthquake happens and breaks part of the crust，the gas is released at an extremely high speed，pushing mud up to the surface．But only extremely powerful earthquakes can cause mud volcanoes to push up enough mud to produce islands---and this 7.7-magnitude earthquake in Pakistan was strong enough．The island is about 20meters high，up to about 90meters wide and 30meters long，nearly the size of a soccer field．
In fact，mud volcano islands aren't new．This is the fourth island of this kind in the region since 1945．But those islands usually didn't last long．"It will probably be gone within a couple of months，"said Bill Barnhart，a researcher with the US Geological Survey．After all，"it's just a big pile of mud that was on the seafloor that got pushed up"．

56．How many shocks did people in Pakistan receive on September 24，2013？（within 1word）
Two．
57．Where does the hot lava come from？（within 5words）
From under the earth's crust．/From inside the earth．（Volcanoes under the sea．）
58．How does mud come above the surface of water？（within 6words）
It is pushed up by gas．
59．When will a mud volcano island be possibly formed？（within 6words）
When the earthquake is powerful enough （extremely powerful）．（when the crust is broken．）
60．How long is the new mud volcano island likely to last？（within 3words）
A few months．（Several months．）．
