After inventing dynamite, 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 award: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty- seven years after the first award 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 dollars.
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 numberous science awards, but relatively few literature awards.
No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of world war II. Some people have won two prizes, but this is rate, others have shared their prizes.

When did the first award ceremony take place?
A. 1985 B. 1901 C. 1962 D. 1968
2. Why was the Nobel prize established
