READING COMPREHENSION I

SIR ALEXANDER FLEMING

(1881-1955)

Alexander Fleming was a British bacteriologist and Nobel laureate. He is known for his discovery of the antibiotic, penicillin. He was born near Darvel, Scotland, and educated at Saint Mary's Hospital Medical School of the University of London. He served as professor of bacteriology at St. Mary's Hospital Medical School from 1928 to 1948.

Fleming conducted research in bacteriology, chemotherapy, and immunology. In 1922 he discovered lysozyme, an antiseptic found in tears, body secretions, albumen (egg white), and certain fish plants. His discovery of penicillin came about accidentally in 1928 while researching on influenza. He observed that the mold in one of his culture plates had destroyed the bacteria. This observation helped him develop penicillin therapy. Penicillin is an antibiotic derived from the fungus Penicillium. It can also be created by using artificial processes.

It took Alexander Fleming another ten years before penicillin was concentrated. It was studied by German-British biochemist Ernst Chain, Australian pathologist Sir Howard Florey, and other scientists.

In 1945 he shared the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine with German-British biochemist Ernst Boris Chain and Australian pathologist Howard Walter Florey for their contributions to the development of penicillin.

The Internet and You

Facebook , MySpace or Tuenti

Internet sites like Facebook, MySpace or Tuenti allow you to create online identities through personal web pages. With your web page, you can chat, share photos, and tell people all about yourself.

These sites are known as social networking sites because they let you create a group of online friends.

Rules to Follow

If you like to have fun with friends online, here are some rules to remember so you can stay safe, avoid problems, and enjoy using the internet:

Stick to safe sites. Your parents and teachers can inform you about the best sites for you. If you need an account and password, ask a parent first.

Guard your passwords. Don't share your passwords with anyone except your parents. Imagine if someone signs in for you. This person can say or do anything silly or dangerous using your identity!

Page 73: Health · parasites infect the human body and interfere with normal body functions. 6. To identify and explain the different infectious and non-infectious illnesses which are most

Limit and be careful with what you share. It's very important for you to first think carefully before typing when you're telling something about yourself online. You should never tell a stranger where you live or give out your phone number.

Anything you post on the internet or on a site can stay online forever, even if you try to delete it. It's easy for anyone to copy, save, and forward information online. Remember that if you don’t want your entire class to know something, don’t share it with anyone online.

Don't be rude, mean or embarrass other people online. Just like you, there's a real person attached to that screen name who has feelings, too.

Always tell an adult if you see strange or bad online behaviour. Tell an adult if someone says something to you that makes your uncomfortable.

Choose your online friends. Some sites let you make lots of friends with people you don't know. Online friends are not the same as real in-person friends. Never agree to meet an online friend in person or give out personal information about yourself, such as your address, your school or your phone number. This is dangerous because some people pretend to be your age online, but actually they are creepy adults.
