VII. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
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 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.
1. When did the first award ceremony take place7
A. 1895 B . 1901 C. 1962 D. 1968
2. Why was the Nobel prize established?
A. To recognise worthwhile contributions to humanity.
B. To resolve political differences.
C. To honour the inventor of dynamite.
D. To spend money.
3. In which area have Americans received the most awards?
A. Literature B. Peace C. Economics D. Science
4. Which of the following statements is not true?
A. Awards vary in monetary value.
B. Ceremonies are held on December 10 to commemorate Nobel's invention.
C. Politics can play an important role in selecting the winners.
D. A few individuals have won two awards.
5. In how many fields are the prizes bestowed?
A. 2 B. 5 C. 6 D. 10

have high rate of cancer and heart disease. In Japan, in contrast, people eat large amount of grains and very
little meat. The Japanese also have very low rates of cancer and heart disease. In fact, the Japanese live longer
than anyone else in the world. Unfortunately, when Japanese people move to the United States, the rates of
heart disease and cancer increase as their diet changes. Moreover, as hamburgers, ice cream, and other high fat
foods become popular in Japan, the rates of heart disease and cancer are increasing there as well. People are
also eating more meat and diary products in other countries such as Cuba, Mauritius and Hungary. Not
surprisingly, the disease rates in these countries are increasing along with the change in diet. Consequently,
doctors everywhere advise people to eat more grains and vegetables and to eat less meat and fewer diary
products.

foods become popular in Japan, the rates of heart disease and cancer are increasing there as well. People are
also eating more meat and diary products in other countries such as Cuba, Mauritius and Hungary. Not

products.
