After inventing dynamite, Swedish-bom 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
humanity. 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 Einniversary of Nobel's death, the awsirds (gold medal, illuminated diploma, and money)
are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judges' decisions. Americans have won

Read the following passage and mark, the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 43 to 50.
After inventing dynamite, Swedish-bom 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
humanity. 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 Einniversary of Nobel's death, the awsirds (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.
Question 43: In the first paragraph, "worthwhile" is closest in meaning to........
A. trivial
B. economic
C. prestigious
D. valuable
Question 44: It is implied that Nobel's profession was in.......
A. economics

B. science
C. medicine
D. literature
Question 45: What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Alfred Nobel left all of his money to science
B. Alfred Nobel made a lasting contribution to humanity
C. Alfred Nobel created awards in six categories for contributions to humanity.

After inventing dynamite, Swedish-bom 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
humanity. 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 Einniversary of Nobel's death, the awsirds (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

each of the questions from 43 to 50.
After inventing dynamite, Swedish-bom 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
humanity. 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 Einniversary of Nobel's death, the awsirds (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
