(2pts)
After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man.
However, he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be
remembered as the inventor of dynamite so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he
created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who made worthwhile contributions
to mankind. Originally there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine and
peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first awards
ceremoney.
Nobel’s original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on
this sum is used for the awards which vary from $30.000 to $ 125.000.
Every year on December 10th , the anniversary of Nobel’s death, the awards (gold
medal, illuminated diploma ,and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics
plays an important role in the judges’decisions. Americans have won numerous science
awards, but relatively few literature prizes.
No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II.
Some people have won two prizes, but this is rare, others have shared their prizes.
1.Where was Alfred Nobel born?
A. in America

B. in Spain


A. Awards vary in monetary value
