三、回答问题。
On December 10, 1901, the first Nobel Prizes were awarded. Do you know who set up the Nobel Prize?
The Nobel Prize is named after Alfred Nobel, a Swedish scientist. He invented a very powerful explosive(炸药) and it made him very rich. In his will, he left more than nine million U. S. dollars to set up a foundation(基金会).
It would give awards to people who had helped the world in some way.
At first, there were prizes in only five fields. They were physics, chemistry, literature, physiology (or medicine), and peace. In 1969, the prize for economics was added to the list. Among them, only the Peace Prize can be given to organizations of more than three people. As for the other five prizes, each can be shared by no more than three people.
What do Nobel winners get? Well, besides prize money, each of them receives a gold medal and a certificate(证书).
The first Nobel Prizes were handed out five years after Alfred Nobel's death. Since then, they have been given on December 10 each year. But not every one of the six prizes is awarded every year. If the Nobel team can't find a suitable winner for a prize, it will be omitted(省略).
In Alfred Nobel's will, people from all countries can be awarded the prizes. Everyone has a chance to get this great honor!
