The following text is for questions 22 to 25.

Sir Alexander Fleming (6 August 1881 – 11 March 1955) was born in East
Ayrshire, Scotland in 1881. He was a biologist and pharmacologist most famous
for his discovery of the antibiotic substance penicillin in 1928. He was awarded a
Nobel Prize, jointly with Howard Florey and Ernst Boris Chain for medicine in 1945
After four years of working in a shipping company, an inheritance gave
Fleming the chance to train as a physician at St Mary’s Hospital London. From
here he moved to the research department, specializing in the relatively new
science of bacteriology.
During the First World War, Fleming served in the medical corps and
served in the hospitals of the Western Front; during his war service, he was
mentioned in dispatches.
Fleming’s greatest breakthrough occurred in 1928, when, quite by chance,
he discovered an effective antibacterial agent. Fleming had left a jar of mould
unattended during his August vacation. On returning to work he noticed that a jar
of Staphylococcus bacteria – a green-yellow mould – had covered the dish except
one area which was clear of the bacteria – rather like a halo effect.
This was Fleming’s great Eureka moment – the moment he correctly
deduced that some antibacterial agent had crept in and successfully stopped the
bacteria. He later identified this antibacterial agent as a rare form of Penicillium
notatum which had drifted in from a mycology lab nearby. He later talked about the
importance of chance in this discovery.

farmers and hunters.
One day, a poor farmer lost his entire livestock to flood. He prayed hard to
God for help or his family would die of starvation. Few days later, an old man with
long grey beard, passed by his house took pity on him. He gave him a goose and
said “I didn’t have any expensive thing to give you and hope this goose will help
you to ease your hardship.” A week later to almost surprise the farmer found and
egg in his yard. 
This was no ordinary egg. It was a golden egg. He was suddenly overcome
with joy. Thereafter, his livelihood had rapidly improved but the farmer had
forgotten his earlier hardship. He became lazy, arrogant and spendthrift.
Strangely, the goose only laid one golden egg every six months.
The greedy farmer lost his patient and slaughtered his goose thinking there
were plenty of golden eggs inside its stomach. Though he very much regretted for
his foolishness, it’s already too late.
