Phần 3: Trả lời câu hỏi.

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 had 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
award 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 1.5 million dollars to 2 million dollars.

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 rate; others have shared their prizes.

41. When did the first award ceremony take place?

A. 1895 B. 1901 C. 1962 D. 1968

42. Why was the Nobel prize established?

A. to recognize worthwhile contributions to humanity

B. to resolve political differences.

C. to honour the inventor of dynamite.

D. to spend money
