During the early 1900s, a doctor named Alexander Fleming was busy in his lab. He wanted to find out how to kill bacteria. Back then, many people died from bacterial infections. A person could even die from asmall serateh that bacteria got into. Fleming worked hard, but he couldn't find anything that could fight bacteria. In the summer of 1928, he came back from a family vacation and entered his lab. The window had been left open. When he went to close it, he saw something very annoying. There was green mold growing on the dishes that he grew bacteria in. When he took a closer look, he was shocked by what he found. There were no bacteria around the mold! He discovered the mold was “penicillium” and that a substance from the mold had killed the bacteria. He called it penicillin and tried to extract enough penicillin from the fungus to produce medicine. But it wasn't easy to do.

Silent letters could be one reason. They are letters in a word that are not pronounced, like the “k” in the word knee. Over half of all Engli n words have silent letters. Why do so many words have silent letters? The sounds of some words in English have changed over time. In the Middle Ages, people pronounced the “e” at the end of words, such as bite and name. Later, they stopped saying the “e” sound, but they didn’t change the spelling. Another reason is that many English words are borrowed from other languages.

Today, both men and women cheer together, but female cheerleaders make up the majority. Another element of cheerleading that has changed a lot is the uniform.
