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 cant see them. Theyre too small .There are thousands of different molds. Molds can make an experiment (实验)fail. Thats 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 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 heres 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 mall 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 coveredB . staph and mold were put togetherC . mold was kept in small dishesD . staph was grown in small dishes（2）The word dreaded means . A . famousB . scaryC . healthD . endangered（3）The last paragraph suggests that . A . accidents happen to everyoneB . the careful person does not have accidentsC . the careless person will miss valuable chancesD . luck is enough when doing scientific experiments（4）This passage is mainly about ? A . medicine for a staph infectionB . useful accidentsC . Dr. Flemings researchD . discovering penicillin四、 词汇运用。 (共2题；共11分)16. （10分）用方框中所给词的适当形式补全短文so，start，badly，someone，difficultthank，class，reporter，medical，succeedProving Them Wrong!Im John Wood，a doctor at a famous Boston hospitalDuring the first two years of high school，I found biology very_My report cards
