Have you ever heard that some of the world’s most important discoveries happen by accident The story of penicillin (青霉素) is one such example. This life-saving 11 was discovered through a lucky accident by a scientist named Alexander Fleming.

Before leaving for a vacation, he left some polluted dishes with bacteria in his lab by chance. When he returned, he noticed something 13 . A blue-green mold (青绿霉菌) had grown on one dish, and around it was a clear circle where all the bacteria had died.
Instead of throwing away the polluted dish, Fleming became very 14 . He thought the blue-green mold might produce something that could kill bacteria. He decided to test this idea by doing more experiments. He found that the mold juice was indeed very effective at 15 harmful bacteria. He named this amazing mold “penicillin”.
What made penicillin so special was that it could kill bacteria without harming human cells. This meant it could be used safely to treat sick people. Fleming’s discovery opened a new chapter in medicine-the age of antibiotics (抗生素). It completely changed how doctors treat bacteria and has 16 countless lives around the world.

A young man was frustrated that his boss only gave him small and unimportant jobs. Feeling he couldn’t achieve his ambition, he went to a wise elder for help.
The wise elder got some water quietly and asked, “What is the shape of the water ” He poured the water into a glass before the young man could answer. The young man answered, “I know water is like a glass.” The wise elder said nothing and poured the water into the vase nearby. The young man realized it: “I know water is like a vase.”
The wise elder shook his head, gently lifted the vase in both hands and poured the water into a pot filled with sand. The clear water disappeared into the sand. The wise elder said, “Look, the water died away like this. This is a lifetime.”
The young man said happily, “I know you want to tell me that the society is like various containers, so people should be like water. When you are in a certain container, you will become its shape and nothing can change.”
“Yes and no,” the wise elder said. He went out of the house, followed by the young man. Under the roof, the wise elder bent over, ran his hand over the worn stone steps for a while, and then stopped. The young man touched the same spot on the step as the wise elder did. He felt a concave (凹面) there. He wondered, “What secret does this hollow hide ”
The wise elder explained, “When it rained, water dripped from the roof. Over time, the dripping water made a hollow in the stone below.” The young man got inspired suddenly, “I understand: People might be placed in ordinary containers, but they should be like a little drop of water. They keep trying and can finally wear hard stones, even if it takes time.”
The wise elder smiled, “Right. This concave will turn into a hole.”
Life is like water, so we must adapt (适应) to the environment and we should try to change the environment to realize our own value.

Different students hold various opinions on AI. Some are strong supporters. They highlight its clear 23 in providing a continuous flow of information—a helper for your studies, like maths and grammar, and even for your hobbies. 24 AI, we can save time to explore hobbies after finishing homework efficiently.
However, other students hold the opposite view. They compare AI to a 25 wind that stops our brains from working. By offering ready-made answers, it encourages copying instead of thinking. They 26 that if we depend too much on AI for every answer, we may lose our creativity and courage.
In my view, both sides are 27 right. AI is neither an angel nor a devil; it is a mirror reflecting our choices. If we use it to start ideas and then improve them with our own effort, we grow stronger. If we only blindly follow its answers, we grow weaker. Let us become pilots of technology, not passengers.

30.【答案】Good morning, my schoolmates,
I'm Li Hua, head of the Eco Club. Today I want to talk about saving water at school. Water is very important for daily life. But now, many places lack clean water—many can’t even get enough to live well.
However, I see wasteful acts in our school: students leave taps on after hand-washing, and we use too much water for mopping floors. To fix this, turn taps off tightly right after use. Use the right water amount when cleaning.
Water's precious. Let's save every drop at school—small acts help!
That's all. Thanks for listening!
