The discovery of penicillin by Alexander Fleming in 1928 marked a turning point in medical history. Before antibiotics, bacterial infections such as pneumonia, strep throat, and wound infections often proved fatal. Fleming observed that a mold, later identified as Penicillium, inhibited the growth of bacteria in a laboratory dish. Although it took years for scientists to develop penicillin into a widely available medicine, its eventual use dramatically reduced deaths from infectious diseases and revolutionized modern healthcare.

The giant panda is native to the mountainous forests of central China. Although classified as a carnivore, its diet consists almost entirely of bamboo. Because bamboo provides relatively little energy, pandas spend much of their day eating and resting. Their strong jaws and specialized teeth allow them to crush tough bamboo stalks efficiently. Despite their large size, pandas are generally solitary animals that spend most of their lives foraging alone. According to the text,

Why do giant pandas spend much of their day eating?

","type_question":"QCM","explication":"

The text states that pandas eat mostly bamboo. It also explains that bamboo provides relatively little energy. Because bamboo is low in energy, pandas must spend much of their day eating.

The Rosetta Stone, discovered in Egypt in 1799, played a crucial role in deciphering ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. The stone contained the same text written in three scripts: hieroglyphic, Demotic, and Greek. Because scholars could already read Greek, they used it as a key to unlock the meaning of the previously mysterious hieroglyphs. This breakthrough provided historians with access to thousands of years of Egyptian history and culture. According to the text,

The Arctic fox survives in one of the harshest environments on Earth. During winter, its thick white coat provides insulation against freezing temperatures while also helping it blend into snowy surroundings. In summer, the fox’s fur changes to a darker color that matches the tundra landscape. These seasonal changes improve both survival and hunting success throughout the year.

The development of vaccines has saved millions of lives by helping prevent infectious diseases. Vaccines work by exposing the immune system to harmless forms or components of pathogens, allowing the body to develop defenses without experiencing the disease itself. As a result, vaccinated individuals are often protected from future infections, and widespread vaccination can reduce disease transmission within entire communities. According to the text,

How do vaccines help protect people?

Sea turtles undertake some of the longest migrations in the animal kingdom. After hatching, many species travel thousands of miles through the ocean before eventually returning to the same beaches where they were born to lay their eggs. Scientists are still investigating how sea turtles navigate such vast distances, but evidence suggests they use Earth’s magnetic field as one of several navigational cues. According to the text,
