A Nobel Prize is considered by most people one of the highest international honours(榮譽(yù)) a person can receive. As you know, the prizes were started by a Swede called Alfred Nobel. He was born in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. Alfred Nobel was a great scientist. He made two important inventions, and so he became very rich. Although he was rich, Nobel was not a happy man. He never married or had children. Also, he was a sick man during his large part of life. When he died at the age of 63, he left a fund of $9,000,000. The money was to be used in giving prizes to those who made great achievements in physics, chemistry(化學(xué)), medicine and literature(文學(xué)), and for world peace.
The first Nobel Prizes were given on December 10, 1901, five years after Nobel’s death. Since then many famous people from all over the world have been given Nobel Prizes for their achievements.
Each prize has three parts. The first part is a gold medal. Second, a winner of a Nobel Prize is given a certificate saying that he has been given the prize. The third part of the prize is a large amount of money-about $40,000.
Often a prize is given to just one person, but not always. Sometimes a prize is shared. It may be given to two or more people who have worked together. It is also sometimes true that a prize is not given at all if there is no great achievement. In 1972, for example, no Nobel Peace Prize was given.
小題1:When was Alfred Nobel born?
A．In 1938.B．In 1833.C．In 1896.D．In 1906.[
小題2:What kind of person would you say Alfred Nobel was?
A．He was a rich, happy and lucky man.
B．He was a poor, unhappy and unlucky man.
C．He was a rich, but unhappy and unlucky man.
D．He was a poor, but happy and lucky man.
小題3:When he died, Nobel left a large amount of money ________.

  I was in my third year of teaching writing at Ralph High School in New York, when one of my students, 15-year-old Mikey, gave me a note from his mother. It explained his absence from class the day before:
"Dear Mr. McCort, Mikey's grandmother, who is eighty years of age, fell down the stairs from too much coffee and I kept Mikey at home to take care of her and his baby sister so I could go to my job. Please excuse Mikey and he'll do his best in the future. P.S. His grandmother is OK."
I had seen Mikey writing the note at his desk. l said nothing. Most parental-excuse notes I received were penned by my students. The writers of those notes didn't realize that honest excuse notes were usually boring: "Peter was late because the alarm clock didn't go off."
The students always said it was hard putting 200 words together on any subject, but when they produced excuse notes, they were excellent. So I decided to give the first class to study the art of the excuse note.
“Today I'd like you to write 'An Excuse Note from Adam to God' or 'An Excuse Note from Eve to God'. "Heads went down. Pens raced across paper. They had to be asked to go to lunch by their friends.
The next day everyone had excuse notes. Heated discussions followed. But suddenly I saw the headmaster at the door. He entered the classroom and walked up and down, looking at papers, and then said. "I'd like you to see me in my office." My heart sank,
When I stepped into his office, he came to shake my hand and said, "I just want to tell you that lesson, that task, was great. Those kids were writing on the college level. Thank you."
小題1:What did the writer do when he found the students dishonest?
A．He reported them to the headmaster.
B．He lectured them hard on honesty.
C．He had them take notes-n class.
D．He helped improve their writing skills.
小題2:We can learn that when Mikey was absent from the class, he was____.
A．somewhere enjoying himself
B．taking care of his baby sister
C．looking after his grandmother
D．studying the art of the excuse note
小題3:How did the writer usually find out his students' parental excuse notes were dishonest?
A．They were written in boring words.
B．He called their parents and found out the truth.
C．They were more like stories than facts.
D．The handwriting clearly looked like children's.
小題4:Which of the following is true?
A．The writer has many years of teaching experience.
B．The students are good at writing excuse notes.
C．The headmaster was angry with the writer.
