David hated spending money. When he had to buy something in a shop, he always tried his best to knock down the price, even for the cheapest things. If he wanted to buy a bottle of orange, for example, and the shopkeeper asked for $2, David would say, “Make it $1.90 and I’ll buy it.” Sometimes the shopkeepers agreed to reduce their prices a little. “What’s ten cents?” they asked themselves. “If it makes this man happy, it won’t hurt me very much.” In this way David saved a few cents here and a few cents there, and by the end of the year he had saved several hundred dollars.
One day he had a very bad toothache and had to go to the dentist. The dentist looked at the tooth and said, “This tooth will have to come out. It’s too serious to save.” “How much must I pay you to take out a tooth?” David asked. “Forty dollars,” the dentist said. “How long will it take you to pull out the tooth?” he asked. “About two minutes,” the dentist answered. “Forty dollars for two minutes’ work!” he shouted, “That’s robbery (搶劫).” The dentist smiled. “You’re right,” she said. “Thank you for telling me. I’ll pull your tooth out very slowly. How about if I take half an hour?”

A Nobel Prize is considered by most people one of the
highest international honours(榮譽) 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.
1.When was Alfred Nobel born?
A. In 1938. B. In 1833. C. In 1896. D. In 1906.[
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.
3.When he died, Nobel left a large amount of money ________.
A. to his wife
B. to his children
C. for helping the poor people in Sweden
D. for setting five prizes
