LOOKING FOR NEW DRUGS

I N G L E S - 11° 6
ACADEMIA CENTRAL DE SISTEMAS
 A C S I
After Louis Pasteur discovered that infections were caused by bacteria, many scientists began to study this tiny organisms.
Soon they were to identify many kinds of bacteria that caused diseases. Much later and even tinier kind of infective agent
called a virus was discovered. All this information about bacteria and viruses helped scientists find out more about the cause
and cure of infectious disease. One of the most powerful killers of bacteria and viruses was discovered quiet by accident in
the fall of 1928. At that time, in his basement laboratory in London, a bacteriologist, Alexander Fleming was looking for a
substance that would kill bacteria. In order to observe their growth, he had spread some small plates containing the bacteria
on his laboratory desk. One evening he accidentally failed to place a cover on one of the plates.
When Fleming arrived the next morning, he saw that the plate had gathered mold during the night. This did not surprise
him, for the basement was damp and ventilated only by a party opened window. But what he saw next did surprise him.
Around the outside of the uncovered plate the bacteria were still flourishing, while in the area close to the mold there were
none. They had somehow disappeared, he transfered the mold, which he named penicillin and found it would destroy
bacteria in a test tube. Would it, he wondered do the same to bacteria in the human body?
In 1929, Fleming write a report on his laboratory experiments, presented it at a medical meeting, and had it printed in
scientific journals. But for ten years, while he continued experiment with penicillin, this important news was largely
ignored by scientific world.
Meanwhile another powerful killer of bacteria and viruses was also discovered by accident. In Germany a group of
scientists, whose name was Gerhard Domagk, injected a small amount of one of the red dyes into some mice that were
dying from an infection. The mice recovered quickly. After further experiments, Domagk derived a drug from the red dye
that became know as the first of the sulfa drugs.
2. Answer the following questions about the text above:
 What do you think have been the most important advances in medicine during the last 50 year? Why?
 Which are the drugs most commonly used to cure infection?

For twenty days they had tins of food, biscuits, and bottles of water. They also had a fishing line and a machine to make
salt water into drinking water two things which saved their lives. They caught eight to ten fish a day and ate them raw.
Them the line broke. so we had no more fish until something very strange happened. Some sharks came to feed, and the
fish under the raft were afraid and came to the surface. I caught them with my hands.
About twenty ships passed them, but no one saw them. After fifty days at the sea their life raft was beginning to break up.

EXERCISE Nº 3
1. read the following history carefully about Microsoft owner Bill Gates an then do the activities.
WILLIAM GATES III
It’s hard to believe that one of the richest men in the world was the typical image of a “nerd” in high school and
university. In the 1970s, Bill Gates was like a movie character: he wore glasses, was a genius at school, and spent his free
time playing chess, reading a thick book or sitting a computer keyboard.
His first encounter with a computer was at Lakeside School in Seattle. At the age of 15 he and his future partner Paul Allen
programmed computers while their classmates played basketball. In 1973, Gates went to Harvard University where he
stayed for two years. He left to go into business with his friend Allen. By 1976, the Gates – Allen team was already
famous in computer circles. In that year, they wrote a simple program for the personal computer (PC).
Then a PC had less memory than the present day pocket calculator. Gates and Allen moved to Albuquerque and founded
Microsoft.
Four years later the young company caught the attention of IBM. Gates was convinced that the software (the programs)
was more important than the hardware (the equipment itself), and persuaded IBM to adopt Microsoft MS-DOS program for
their computers.
In a few years, MS-DOS became the accepted operating system for personal computers. Other companies copied IBM, and
used Microsoft programs on their computers as well. Other programs followed, and Bill Gates made a fortune. With part of
the money, he built new headquarters for Microsoft in Redmond, Washington, near the city of Seattle , in his own image.
Employees can wear shorts to work, have long hair, and drink cans and cans of soft drinks. On the few sunny days that
Seattle offers per year, employees stop work and play basketball or baseball, or enjoy the 1.1 million square meters of
green area in their officer compound.
2. Answer the following questions based on the text above about William Gate’s life, and then make tag questions to the
sentences below.
 Bill Gates is one of the richest men in the world _______________________

BASIC IDEAS
ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY
The adverbs always, usually, often, sometime, never, rarely, seldom and ever precede all principal verbs except be. This is
the natural word order, and it is always correct, but for emphasis these words are sometimes used in other positions in the
sentence.
QUESTION:
Do you often see her? Yes, I often see her
Don’t you always see her? No, I don’t always see her
EXERCISE Nº 1
1. Underline the frequency adverbs in the following text about video games in United States.
VIDEO GAMES
Entertainment in United States is a big business. One entertainment industry made five billion dollars in 1981. That sum is
almost twice as much as the movie industry made, and three times more than all the major professional sports made. I am
talking about the video game industry.
Allover the US people are standing in front of the electronics machines and playing games. Each game usually lasts about
two minutes and costs twenty five cents. But players sometimes play for hours and spend tens of dollars on the games. A
fifteen years old who lives in Illinois, has the record for defender which is a space attack game. The record is 16 hours 34
minutes, and 15.963.100 points, all for the same 25 cents. An incredible record, but the machine always wins in the end.
Many adults are worried about the games. Young people sometimes miss school to play them, and they often spend a lot of
money on them, the games are fun, but they often become an expensive habit. Think about this. How many 25 cents make
five billion dollars?
2. Based on the text above. Answer the following questions:
 What is the usual time limit for a game?
 What is the cost of the game?
 Who has the record for defender?
 Who is worried about the games?
 Do you like those kind of games?
 How often do you play those games? Why?
3. Many people have different kind of habits, some of them like to listen to music or dance whole the night. Now ask and
answer questions about the following people’s habits.
