The British artist Dominic Wilcox has created a pair of shoes. They can guide you home no matter where you are in the world. He thought about the fairy tale The Wizard of Oz and how Dorothy could click her shoes together to go home. So he decided to make a pair of shoes that can take you home with a click of the heels (鞋后跟). The shoes can point the way with GPS and clever LEDs (发光二极管)．
Wilcox worked with another artist and a shoemaker to produce what he calls the “No Place Like Home” shoes.
One of the “No Place Like Home” shoes has a GPS unit inside the heel of the left shoe. It communicates wirelessly (无线方式) with the right shoe and provides data to the LED lights. The LEDs on the left toe point the wearer in the right direction while those on the right toe show how much of the journey still remains.
It may be an art project. There's only one pair, but it's not hard to imagine a similar, more everyday pair of shoes for children, old people or those who always lose their ways in the future.
At__present,__the__“No__Place__Like__Home”__shoes__are__on__show__in__London.

(2018·山东临沂)What was discovered by accident? The answer is penicillin (青霉素). It kills germs. By killing germs, it saves lives. Suppose you are sick. You go to a doctor. She examines you. She says you have a “staph” infection (葡萄球菌感染). She gives you some medicine. You take it. The medicine knocks out the staph. Soon you are well. Before penicillin, this would not happen. Staph was almost sure death.
Everyone wanted a medicine. Laboratories worked day and night. They grew the staph in small dishes. Then they tried to kill it. Nothing worked.
The laboratory dishes had covers on them. They kept things from falling into dishes. Molds (霉菌) were a big worry. They are always in the air. You can’t see them. They’re too small. There are thousands of different molds. Molds can make an experiment (实验) fail. That’s why dishes are covered.
Dr. Alexander Fleming was working to kill the staph germ. He worked for years. One day he took a cover off a dish. He looked inside. There was a thick growth of staph germ. There was also some mold. Then he saw something strange. Where the mold was, there was no growth of staph. This is what Fleming probably thought. “By accident, I found a mold to kill the dreaded staph.”
This is how penicillin was found. But here’s the real miracle (奇迹). There are thousands of kinds of molds. But only one kind can kill staph. The mold must have fallen into the dish a few days before. The cover was probably off only a few seconds (秒). In those few seconds the right mold fell into the right dish. Another man might have thrown the dish away. But Fleming was very careful and smart. He understood what the mold did. How lucky the humans were!
