PART IV: READING (5.0 points)
I. Read the passage carefully.(1.0 point)
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.

Answer the questions
1. When did Nobel become a very rich man?
