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 a lot of 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.
New words: dynamite = thuốc nổ; contribution = sự đóng góp; commemorate = tưởng nhớ, kỷ niệm; honour = tôn kính, ban vinh dự cho, vinh danh; original = ban đầu,
1. Nobel became a very rich man after inventing dynamite.
2. The prizes are awarded in 5 fields.
3. The Nobel prize was established to honour the inventor of dynamite.
4. Americans have received may science awards.
5. Ceremonies are held on December 10 to commemorate Nobel's invention.
