correct answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 36.
After inventing dynamite, Alfred Nobel, who was originally from Sweden, became very wealthy.
Unfortunately, he realized too late the potential for widespread destruction his invention could cause.
Nobel did not want to be remembered for creating dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his
death, he established a fund to give prizes to individuals who made significant contributions to
humanity. Initially, there were five categories for these prizes: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine,
and peace.
In 1968, economics was added, sixty-seven years after the first awards ceremony. Nobel’s initial nine-
million-dollar fortune was invested, and the interest from this investment funds the awards, which can
range from $30,000 to $125,000.
The awards, which include a gold medal, a diploma, and a cash prize, are given out every year on
December 10, the date of Nobel’s death. Americans have won many awards in the sciences but fewer
in literature. No awards were given from 1940 to 1942, during the start of World War II. While it is
rare, some individuals have won two prizes, and others have shared their prizes.
Question 31. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Alfred Nobel became rich by inventing dynamite and wanted to be famous for his wealth.
B. The Nobel Prizes are only awarded to scientists and economists.
C. World War II had a significant impact on the awarding of Nobel Prizes.
D. Alfred Nobel created the Nobel Prizes to honor individuals who have made valuable contributions
to society, rather than be remembered for inventing dynamite.
