vampires such as rising from the grave and drinking blood were popularized by eastern European stories Most early cultures created stories to explain things they didn t understand For example hair and nails continue to grow after people die which has already been proved possible by modern science These facts were unknown to most people in the 19th century however As a result the legends surrounding such mysteries were kept alive CountCount DraculaDracula In 1897 Irish writer Bram Stoker s novel Dracula was published spreading the vampire stories to a mass audience In the novel the Count Dracula of Transylvania a 500 year old vampire has drunk his country dry and must move to England in search of new victims Dracula means son of the dragon or son of the devil in Romania WerewolfWerewolf The story of a half man half wolf beast is as old as that of vampires and almost as varied In most werewolf stories however a beast would silently enter settlements at night and steal a young child or an animal The most common explanation of werewolf stories is that the beast was usually an ordinary wolf The genetic disorder which causes too much body hair may also have helped to popularize the story FrankensteinFrankenstein This is a fictional scientist created by British writer Mary Shelly in 1818 Dr Frankenstein lives in a castle and is so addicted to making living beings from parts of dead bodies that he refuses to marry The story of Frankenstein may have been planted in Shelly s mind since she visited Castle Frankenstein in Germany where an alchemist 炼金术士 tried to do experiments with the aim of making people live longer TheThe InvisibleInvisible ManMan In HG Wells 1897 story a young scientist called Griffin manages to make himself invisible But he cannot find a way to become visible again He then wants to make use of his super power but finally has gone mad Wells tale owes a great debt to Greek philosopher Plato s book Republic 51 The best title for this passage should be

of the Panama Canal were devoted only to preparation for human living Energies were committed to establish suitable houses hotels and kitchens Food supplies were built up and the ability of the existing Panama Railway system was increased In addition a large Panama Canal labor force was enrolled 招收 and organized under a civil government With all this activity the need for improved sanitation soon became apparent Improving the unclean conditions was one of the greatest difficulties in building the Panama Canal Colonel William C Gorgas stepped up and took charge of improving these sanitary and working conditions With the leadership of Gorgas many new departments of sanitation were founded Separate departments each undertook different tasks Some health departments were in charge of hospitals others in the management of health matters and still others took charge of sanitation inspections Committees were also formed to look after the basic welfare of the laborers The sanitation work included clearing land establishing quarantine 检疫 facilities and taking care of sick and injured laborers in hospitals On top of this an operation under Gorgas command aimed to destroy the yellow fever and malaria carrying mosquitoes The big wetlands surrounding the canal in certain areas were a great breeding 繁殖 ground for mosquitoes In an attempt to solve some of the mosquito problems the surrounding wetlands were drained 排干水 and filled Various methods were used This task was so big that the first two years of building the canal were largely dedicated to getting rid of the mosquitoes In the end these efforts were a success By 1906 yellow fever was virtually wiped out in canal areas and the number of deaths caused by the other top disease malaria was also reduced significantly With all these new health measures the canal area has become one of the healthiest regions in the world With the leadership of Gorgas the department of sanitation helped to make the canal construction

sleeplessness But Mortenson never asks others to make sacrifices that he has not already made himself time and time again Pakistan and Afghanistan appear in the news as the breeding grounds of
