V, READING COMPREHENSION: Read the passage and choose the best 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
rate; others have shared their prizes.
