VIII. 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 rare; others
have shared their prizes.
