问题 A Nobel Prize is one of the most highly regarded ______ honors.
  
A Nobel Prize is one of the most highly regarded international honors a person can achieve. These prizes were named after Alfred Nobel, a Swedish chemist and inventor. The first Nobel Prizes were awarded in 1901, five years after Nobel’s death. Many famous people from all over the world have been awarded Nobel Prizes for their achievements. There are five different prizes: three in various sciences, one for literature, and the Peace Prize. But bow did these prizes start?
    Alfred Nobel was a chemist. He invented dynamite. As a result of his invention, he became a very wealthy man. He used part of his money to invest in oil. He made good investments, and became even richer. Nobel was not a happy man. He never married or had children. Also he was a sick man for the larger part of his life. Nobel died at the age of 63 in 1896. In his last will, he wished his property to be contributed to the establishment of prizes for achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and peace. His wishes had been carried out with his money: the Nobel Foundation gives the prizes.
    The prizes are awarded by the Nobel Foundation for outstanding contributions in five areas. Each prize has three parts. The first part is a gold medal. Second, a winner of Nobel Prize is given a diploma saying that he has been awarded the prize. The third part of the prize is a large amount of money.
