Question

Read the following passage and answer the questions

that follow:


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, two

weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for

awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile

contributions to humanity. Originally there were five

awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine, and

peace. Economics was added sixtyseven years after the

first awards ceremony. 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 10, 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.
