EX 2: 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 10th , 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.
17. Why was the Nobel prize established?
A. To recognise worthwhile contributions to humanity.
B. To resolve political differences.
C. To honour the inventor of dynamite.
D. To spend money.
18. In which area have Americans received the most awards?
A. Literature B. Peace C. Economics D. Science

small flat for an old 40-meter-high castle tower. They have spent five years turning it into a
beautiful home with six floors, winning three architectural prizes.

“The best age to start learning the violin is between three and six”, says Margaret Porter, a
violinist and music teacher. 'It's the time when you are learning about the world.' Margaret,
who lives in London, prefers to take pupils at three and four, although she has made lots of
exceptions for keen five-year-old. When she
started teaching the violin in 1972, her first class consisted of her children's five-year-old
school friends.

lasts an hour, once a fortnight. In addition, each pupil has one individual lesson a week with
her. Parents also have to attend the classes. It is important that the parents take an active
interest in the lessons.
From the earliest lessons, pupils learn to play by ear. They do not even try to read music
until they have been playing for several years, and for a long time, there is a big difference
between their playing and reading music. Margaret says that her method is not supposed to
produce great violinists, and always suggests that pupils who perform particularly well
should leave and study the violin using more traditional methods.
