What was discovered by accident? The answer is penicillin (青霉 素). It kills germs. By killing germs, it saves lives. Suppose you are sick. You go to a doctor. She examines you. She says
you have a “staph” infection (葡萄球菌感染). She gives you some medicine. You take it. The medicine knocks out the staph. Soon you are well. Before penicillin, this would not happen. Staph was almost sure death.
Everyone wanted a medicine. Laboratories worked day and night. They grew the staph in small dishes. Then they tried to kill it. Nothing worked.
The laboratory dishes had covers on them. They kept things from falling into dishes. Molds (霉菌) were a big worry. They are always in the air. You can’t see them. They’re too small. There are thousands of different molds. Molds can make an experiment (实验) fail. That’s why dishes are covered.
Dr. Alexander Fleming was working to kill the staph germ. He worked for years. One day he took a cover off a dish. He looked inside. There was a thick growth of the staph germ. There was also some mold. Then he saw something strange. Where the mold was, there was no growth of staph. This is what Fleming probably thought. “By accident, I found a mold to kill the dreaded staph.”
This is how penicillin was found. But here’s the real miracle (奇迹). There are thousands of kinds of molds. But only one kind can kill staph. The mold must have fallen into the dish a few days before. The cover was probably off only a few seconds (秒). In those few seconds the right mold fell into the right dish. Another man might have thrown the dish away. But Fleming was very
careful and smart. He understood what the mold did. How lucky the humans were! 1. During the experiments to find a medicine for staph infections, ________. A. the dishes were not covered B. staph and mold were put together C. mold was kept in small dishes
D. staph was grown in small dishes 2. The word “dreaded” means “_______”. A. famous B. scary C. healthy D. endangered 3. The last paragraph suggests that _______. A. accidents happen to everyone
B. the careful person does not have accidents C. the careless person will miss valuable chances D. luck is enough when people do scientific experiments 4. Most of this passage is written by ______.
A. telling an unusual story B. showing the results of experiments C. offering some reasons D. giving some advice 5. This passage is mainly about ______.
A. medicine for a staph infection B. useful accidents C. Dr. Fleming’s research D. discovering penicillin

While you are at the bookstore, you may be faced with a difficult decision: e-books or paper books? Each one has its advantages and disadvantages. Making the best decision depends on a number of factors(因素).
An e-reader can carry a whole library wherever you go, which is great for travelers or those who always want a choice of reading material. Although e-readers are convenient, high levels of screen brightness from an electronic device(电子设备) can cause eye problems. A study in the Information Science Research found that young people preferred e-readers, like smartphones or iPads. That’s why most teenagers are short-sighted.
Many book lovers still prefer paper books and value the feeling of them. Paper books are very well designed, they look and smell good, and they carry with them a more human touch. Avid(热衷的) readers prefer reading on paper. Perhaps this is their choice because paper books give them a sense of ownership. It is reported that reading on paper rather than an electronic screen is better for memory and focus. But paper books are heavy and they are not convenient to carry.
Which is your decision, an e-book or a paper book? 阅读短文，回答下列问题。
1. How many kinds of books are mentioned in the passage? ____________________________________________________ 2. Do young people like e-readers better?
____________________________________________________ 3. According to the study, why are most teenagers short-sighted? ____________________________________________________ 4. Which is better for memory and focus, an e-book or a paper book? ____________________________________________________ 5. What’s the main idea of the passage?
