Suggested answers: 1.He wanted to learn the secrets of heaven and earth when he was young. 2.He found all that was taught at university very disappointing and decided to pioneer a new way himself. 3.The structure of the human body and any animal that was alive attracted his attention. 4.Yes. 5.How to prepare a body for it with all its muscles and organs still remained a difficult job for him. 6.Because the small size of the parts slowed down his speed. T:Well done!Have you any problem in understanding the passage?If any,please ask me. S4:I don’t know how to translate the sentence “My father was so…a map” into Chinese,and why he said he had to look for a road without having a map. T:A good question.The sentence can be translated into Chinese “我的父亲没有什么科学头脑，所以我不得不在没有指导的情况下自己摸索”.Dr Frankenstein used a metaphor in the so-clause.He compared the road without any instructions to that without having a map in order to show he had to work hard to find a way to science by himself.Are you clear about it?
