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.

C. Reading(2pts)
I. Read the passage then choose the best answer: (1pt)
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.

A. The science of music B. Understanding music
C. The effects of music on human feelings D. Music and an

A. cannot be chosen B. affects everybody in the same way
C. affects us in different ways D. never make us angry

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
