Alexander Fleming was born in 1881 in Scotland. He went to a small school in a village, and when he left
school he didn’t go to university. He worked for five years in an office. But his brother, Tom, was a doctor
and helped Fleming to go to university and study medicine. So he went to London University and in 1906 he
became a doctor. In 1915, Fleming married Sarah McElroy, an Irish woman. They had one son. During the
First World War, many soldiers died in hospital because they didn’t have the right medicines. So after the
war, Fleming tried to find a drug that could help them. He worked for many years and in 1928 he discovered
a new drug and he called it “penicillin”. He later worked with an Australian and a German scientist to
develop a drug that doctors could use. In 1945, they won the Nobel Prize in medicine for their work on
penicillin.

Music influences people in different ways or the same person differently at different times. Music may seem
to influence people differently. That is because people can react differently to the music. We are able to
apply a choosing process to the music we hear. If someone hates jazz, then a jazz piece with a positive effect
will probably not make him feel good. A happy song might appear to make an angry person angrier, yet it is
not the music itself that is creating the anger; rather it is the
positive effect of the music. The angry person does not want to accept the song's happy feeling: it points out
his already existing anger, and makes that anger come to the surface. When a piece of music is played and we
are listening to it, our body, mind, and feelings are being affected. The musicians of ancient cultures such as
China, India, Turkey and Greece understood the effects of music. In fact, Pathagoras, in ancient Greece,
introduced a whole science that concerned them. Because the musicians of these ancient cultures understood
these effects, they created music that was positive, uplifting, and beneficial. Once the effects of music are
better understood, the next step is to gain a better understanding of the music around us, and what effect it is
actually having.
1. The text is about_ .
A. The science of music B. Understanding music
C. The effects of music on human feelingsD. Music and an angry person
2. Music_ .
A. cannot be chosen B. affects everybody in the same way
C. affects us in different ways D. never make us angry
3. According to the text, .
A. Everybody likes jazz B. Jazz always makes us feel better
C. No one likes jazz D. a very angry person sometimes do not accept music
4. In ancient cultures, there used to be a science that concerned the effects of music in .
A. China B. India C. Turkey D. Greece

Many people now think that teachers give students too much homework. They say that it is unnecessary for
children to work at home in their free time. Moreover, they argue that most teachers do not properly plan the
homework tasks they give to students. The result is that students have to repeat tasks which they have already
done at school.
Most people agree that homework is unfair. A student who can do his homework in a quiet and comfortable
room is in a much better position than a student who does his homework in a small, noisy room with the
television on. Some parents help their children with their homework. Other parents take no interest at all in
their children’s homework.

I get a lot of letters at this time of the year from people complaining that they have a cold which won’t go
away. There are so many different stories about how to prevent or cure a cold that it’s often difficult to know
what to do. Although colds are rarely dangerous, except for people who are already weak, such as the elderly
or young babies, they are always uncomfortable and usually most unpleasant. Of course, you can buy lots of
medicines which will help to make your cold less unpleasant, but you must remember that nothing can
actually cure a cold or make it go away faster.
Another thing is that any medicine which is strong enough to make you feel better could be dangerous if you
are already taking drugs for some other illness so always with your chemist or doctor to see whether they are
all right for you. And remember they might make you sleepy – please don’t try to drive if they do! Lastly, as
far as avoiding colds is concerned, whatever you may be told about magic foods or drinks, the best answer is
to keep strong and healthy – you’ll have less chance of catching a cold, and if you do, it shouldn’t be so bad!

You may use the telephone every day but how much do you know about it? The telephone was invented by
Alexander Bell in 1876. Bell was born in Scotland in 1847. Later he went to live in the USA. Bell was
always interested
in sound. He wanted to be able to send sound through a wire. He had a workshop in his house in America and
did many experiences there.
One day, he was doing an experiment in his workshop. He was careless and spilt some burning liquid onto
his clothes. Talking into his telephone, Bell said, ‘Mr. Watson, I want you to come over here immediately,
please.’ His assistant, Watson, was in another room far away from the workshop. However he heard Bell
clearly on his own telephone. Quickly, he ran to Bell’s workshop. ‘Mr. Bell, I heard every word you said!’
Watson shouted excitedly.
Bell had finally succeeded. He had invented the first telephone. Later other inventors made better ones.
