My personal experience
When
I was in junior high school, I was not a very diligent student. In fact, I was
quite lazy. I hate all the subjects that I took during school, especially
science. For me science was very difficult. It was hard for me to remember the
chemical processes, physics calculations, and biological processes.
Once,
my teacher grounded me in the library because I did not do my Biology home
work. The teacher asked me to read several books and make a summary about them.
When I was browsing the shelves, I found a book entitled “ The inventors of
Medicine”. I thought “OK, this is a start”. I took it out than began reading.
I
learned from the book about Edward Jenner. He was an English doctor who found
the cure for smallpox. The next one was Louis Pasteur. His interest in bacteria
led him to discover the treatment for rabies and anthrax. Just like Pasteur,
Robert Koch’s experiments on bacteria also proved that tuberculosis can be
spread to others by contact. Finally, there was Alexander Flemming, a British
bacteriologist who found the first antibiotic and penicillin.
After
read the book, I realised that science is useful for human kind. By studying,
we can discover things that can help kind. Therefore, science that moment, I
managed to change my behavior and became a doctor.
26. What
lessons did the writer hate?
a. Art c. Science
b.
English d. Social
27. What
was the title of the book that the writer read?
a. Human
kind
b. Robert
Koch’s experiment
c. The
inventors of medicine
d. British
bacteriologist
