Finally, it talks about freedom, social rules and how people are punished for bad behaviour(行为). Why do I think The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876, but its still read and loved by people all over the world today. And although its only a story. Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century, so it sounds very real. Today its thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature.

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 nor 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 Nobels 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.41. When was Alfred Nobel born? A. In 1938. B. In 1833. C. In 1896. D. In 1906.42. What kind of person would you say Alfred Nobel was?A.
