IV. Read the passage and choose the best answer.After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich

man. However, he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobelpreferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just twoweeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to

people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind. Originally therewere five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine and peace. Economicswas added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first awards ceremony.

Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest onthis sum is used for the awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000.

COMMUNICATIONTelephone, television, radio and the Internet help people communicate with

each other. Because of these devices, ideas and news of events spread quicklyall over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know the results ofan election in another country. An international football match comes into thehomes of everyone with a television set. News of a disaster, such as flood,

earthquake can bring help from distant countries. Within hours, help is on theway. This is because modern technology information travels fast. How has thisspeed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has

become smaller. Of course, this does not mean that the world is actuallyphysically smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two hundred yearsago, communication between the continents took a long time. All news wascarried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the oceans. In theseventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it took six weeks for the news fromEurope to reach to the Americas. This time difference influenced peoplesactions. For example, a few battles in the war of 1812 between England and theUnited States could have been avoided. A peace agreement had already beensigned. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks toreach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious battle of NewOrleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had beensigned. They would not have died if news had come in time. In the past,communication took much more time than it does now. There was a good reasonwhy the world seemed so much larger than it does today.1. News spreads fast because of_______________.

A. modern transportation B. new technology

C. the changes of the world D. a peace of agreement2. According to this passage, ______is very important to people in disaster area.
