Alexander Fleming was born in Scotland in 1881 and his parents were both farmers. He moved to London in 1895 and finished his basic education. Fleming entered the medical field in 1901, studying at St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School. While at St. Mary’s, he won the 1908 gold medal as top medical student.
A position at St. Mary’s Hospital led him to the then-new field of bacteriology(细菌学). During World War I, Fleming served in the Royal Army Medical Corps. At the time, antiseptics(抗菌剂) were commonly used. Fleming discovered that their destructive effects on the body were greater than their ability to break down harmful bacteria. Therefore, more soldiers were dying from antiseptic treatment(治疗) than from bacterial harm.
Fleming suggested that, for more effective treatment, wounds simply be kept dry and clean. However, his idea largely got ignored because of the difficult conditions. Returning to St. Mary’s after the war, in 1918, Fleming worked as the assistant director of St. Mary’s.
In September 1928, Fleming returned to his lab after a month away with his family, and was surprised to notice that a type of bacteria he had left out had become polluted by a mold(霉菌). The bacteria surrounding this mold had been destroyed. He realized that he discovered the world’s first bacteria killer. It was later named “penicillin”.
Further development of penicillin was not a one-man operation, so Fleming employed two young researchers. Penicillin finally came into use during World War II and Fleming won the Nobel Prize in 1945.
1.What do we know about Fleming?
A.He began to study medicine at the age of 14.
B.He completed his basic education in Scotland.
C.He had excellent performance while in college.
D.He started his career due to his parents’ influence.
2.What did Fleming find during World War I?
A.The British army suffered from a lack of antiseptics.
B.Few people wanted to study the field of bacteriology.
C.Soldiers had limited knowledge of treating their wounds.
D.Antiseptics did more harm than good to wounded soldiers.
3.What does Paragraph 4 imply?
A.Fleming discovered penicillin quite by accident.
B.Penicillin was Fleming’s first well-known discovery.
C.Penicillin was later put into use by Fleming’s students.
D.Fleming made a mistake while preparing for an operation.
4.How does the author organize the text?
A.By providing data. B.By giving examples.
C.By making comparisons. D.By following time order.

Frank Woolworth was born in Rodman, New York., in 1852. His family were very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat. Frank decided he did not want to be farmer. He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.
Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract people’s interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品 ) for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said FIVE CENTS EACH. People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.
Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store, selling goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly form the factories. Once, for example, Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.
By 1919, Woolworth had over 1000 stores in the US and Canada, and opened his first store in London. He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. He always run his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was: “ THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT.”
