18、ized.3、 Eight years before his death in 1896, Alfred Nobel was surprised to read an obituary(讣告) in the local newspaper. This was a strange obituary, for it told Alfred Nobel, the man who was reading it, that he was dead. The newspaper had confused Alfred with his brother, Ludwig, who had recently d

19、ied. Nobel was shocked to read that he had passed away,and he was even more annoyed by the title of the obituary : The Merchant of Death Is Dead. Alfred was a very rich and successful armaments manufacturer(武器制造商). This incident got him thinking about his reputation. What would people think of him a

20、fter his real death? Would they really say “That was a man who profited from killing”? It was this thought that led him to leave his money一a huge amount of itfor the founding of the famous Nobel Prizes. His aim was for his money to be used to support the ongoing quest(追求) for excellence in the scien

21、ces and literature, and the ideal of peace. Thousands of men and women have been honored since the first awards were given out in 1901. The awards let the world know about the developments that may have a huge effect on our lives. However, the prizes are controversial sometimes. There is often prote

22、st(抗议) at the award of the peace prize when not everyone thinks that the award-winners deserve the award. Even the award for literature has sometimes been criticized because the award committee often neglects important writers. The highly influential novelists James Joyce and Marcel Proust,for examp

23、le,were never honored by the Swedish Academy. Still, for the most part of the awards dont cause many complaints. Alfred Nobel founded the prizes to recognize those who have had “the greatest benefit to mankind and few would disagree that most of the prize winnersamong them. Albert Einstein and Marti

24、n Luther King have made contributions that deserved to be honored and remembered.1.How did Alfred Nobel feel when he read the obituary in the newspaper?A.Sad and worried.B.Shocked and upset.C.Surprised and confused.D.Amused and puzzled.2.What did Alfred Nobel decide to do after reading the obituary?

26、zes.C.To explain the standard of giving out the Nobel Prizes.D.To prove the influence of the Nobel Prizes on literature.4.What does the author think of the Nobel Prizes?A.There should be more female winners.B.There are too many controversial winners.C.They have honored many worthy winners.D.The comm

27、ittee should be more selective.4、 It is safe to say that George Bernard Shaw(18561950),the Irish-born writer,is more famous for being George Bernard Shaw than he is for his writings today. Few of Shaws more than 60 plays,novels and essays are performed or read anymore. And yet Shaw genuinely helped

28、make our modern world. Although youd be lucky to get a chance to see one of his dramas today,inhis timeheturned the theater into a vehicle for the discussion of social issues, not only in Britain but onthestage oftheworld. In a way Shaw was someone who created the modern culture of Britain. Where th

29、e theater had been dominated by entertainment,Shaw used it to teach people the importance of paying attention to the issues of their day. The plight(苦难) of the poor and the working class,the situation of women and the institutions of society,such as the education system一Shaw was among the most well-

30、known figures making these topics central to public debate. His first play, Widoxvers Houses (1892) 9 deals with the question of slum(贫民窟) housing. His Mrs Warrens Profession(1893) brought a controversial topic to the stage. Shaw was an important mover and shaker in new political movements too. He w

Shaw was also the founder (in 1895) of one of the now most famous colleges in the world, the London School of Economics. If few of his works have really stood the test of time, many of his quotations have becom

32、e part of the furniture of the English language. “Youth is wasted on the young,” he wrote. He also knew how to sum up a political philosophy(哲学) in a few memorable words. For instance: “A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.1.Shaws influence on the modern world comes mainly from _.A.the changes he brought to the British cult
