READING
After inventing dynamite, Alfred Nobel became a very rich man However, he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor
of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind Originally, there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine and peace Economics was added in
1968, just sixty seven years after the first award ceremony
Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000
Every year on December 10th, the anniversary of Nobel's death, the awards (gold medal, illuminated diploma, and money) are presented to the winners Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judges' decisions Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature awards

16 When did the first award ceremony take place?
A 1985 B.1901 C 1962 D 1968
17 Why was the Nobel prize established?
A to recognize worthwhile contributions to humanity
B to resolve political differences

Finish-born botanist William Nylander taught at the university of Helsinki for a number of years and later moved to Paris, where he lived until his dealth at the end of the nineteenth century During the second half of the last century, he became a prominent figure in the field of
lichenology
Botanists from all over the world sent samples to his laboratory to be analyzed and classified It can be said without exaggeration that four out of five lichens bear his name
He was the first to realise the important of using chemical reagents in the taxonomy of lichens
He selected the most common reagents used by the chemists of his time Lichenologists all over the world still used these reagents, including tincture of iodine and hypochlorite, in their
laboratories during the first half of the twentieth century, a Japanese named Arahina added only one chemical product – P - Phenol diamines
Nylander was also responsible for discovering that the atmosphere of big cities hindered the lichens' development and caused them to disappear Now they are used to detect atmospheric pollution
Nevertheless, he considered lichens to be simple plants and vehemently opposed the widely accepted modern theories that lichens are a compound species formed by two discordant elements; algae and fungi
