SECTION C: READING I. Read the following passage and then choose the best answer from A, B, C or D (10 points) 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 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 10th, the anniversary of Nobel’s death, the awards (gold medal, illuminated diploma, and money) are presented to the winners.
