Homework is a problem for students all over theworld. As a student, you have a lot of homework to do every day. It s a mainpart of going to school. It s the best way to review what you have learned inclass. And it helps you understand important concepts (概念).

What was discovered by accident? The answer ispenicillin (青霉素). It kills germs. By killing germs, it saveslives. Suppose you are sick. You go to a doctor. She examines you. She says youhave a “staph” infection (葡萄球菌感染). She gives you some medicine. You take it. Themedicine knocks out the staph. Soon you are well. Before penicillin, this wouldnot happen. Staph was almost sure death. Everyone wanted a medicine.Laboratories worked day and night. They grew the staph in small dishes. Thenthey tried to kill it. Nothing worked.
The laboratory dishes had covers on them. They keptthings from falling into dishes. Molds (霉菌) were a big worry. They are always in the air. Youcan 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 staphgerm. He worked for years. One day he took a cover off a dish. He lookedinside. There was a thick growth of staph germ. There was also some mold. Thenhe 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 thedreadedstaph. ”
This is how penicillin was found. But here s thereal miracle (奇迹). There are thousands of kinds of molds. But onlyone kind can kill staph. The mold must have fallen into the dish a few daysbefore. The cover was probably off only a few seconds (秒). In thosefew seconds the right mold fell into the right dish. Another man might havethrown the dish away. But Fleming was very careful and smart. He understoodwhat the mold did. How lucky the humans were!
