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 (化学), medicine and literature
(文学), 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
diploma 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.
B．In 1833.
C．In 1896.
D．In 1906.

| In the United States, sixteen, eighteen, and twenty-one are important ages in a person"s life. There are no special celebrations for these birthdays, but each is a time when a person can do new things to mark their transition (转变) into adult-hood (成人时期). After turning sixteen a person can work, get a driver"s licence and leave home. Many high school students learn to drive and get part-time jobs soon after celebrating their sixteenth birthday. At the age of eighteen a person in the United States can vote and smoke, but they are prohibited from going into many nightclubs, buying wine or gambling (赌博) until they are twenty-one. In many Latin (拉丁的) cultures, a young woman"s fifteenth birthday is important. At this age, she is regarded as an adult. To mark this special day, families with teenage daughters have a celebration called a Quinceanera. The day begins with the young woman and her family going to church. Later, there is a party and many guests are invited. In Japan, young people become adults at twenty. At this age, they can legally (合法的) vote, drink wine and smoke. The second Monday in January is a national holiday called Coming of Age Day. On this day, twenty-year-olds celebrate by first going to a church to pray with their families. Later, they listen to speeches given by city and school leaders. Afterward, many celebrate with family or friends late into the night. In some countries, birthday celebrations continue through adulthood. Some people celebrate their fortieth and fiftieth birthdays, or their retirement (退休) year, with a huge party. |

| The people in the USA and England both speak English of course. But sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact, there are some important differences between (1) _________ English and _________ English. First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don"t say each word separately. They say several words together. Americans may say "I dunno" instead of "I don"t know." Or they may say "Whaddya say?" instead of"What did you say?" However, the British are more careful in their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate. (2)Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English. Words sometimes have different meanings too. Some American words are never used in England. The same thing is true of some British words in America. For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries. Many expressions are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you "phone them up". In America, you "give them a call". When you are saying goodbye in England you might say "Cheerio!" In America you might say "See you later." There"re also some differences in grammar. For example, Americans usually use the helping verb "do" when they ask a question. They say "Do you have a storybook?" But the British often leave out the helping verb. They say "Have you a storybook?" All these differences can be confusing (易混淆的) if you are learning English. But most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways. This is what has happened to English. It can also happen to other languages, such as French. Many people in Canada speak French. (3)但是他们的法语和法国的法语不一样. |
