What happens if a candidate dies? The Nobel Foundation might consider changes at its next meeting.

　　One possibility would be to withhold (阻止) the announcement of an award until a Nobel official hears the winner's voice on the famous notification calls.

　　1．What did Alfred Nobel create the prizes for?

　　A．To make himself remembered forever.

　　B．To attract international attention to Sweden.

　　C．To encourage contributions to mankind.

　　D．To honor some dead outstanding discoverers.

　　解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“he decided that they be given for work done in the previous year”和第三段中的“One can guess that he wanted to reward present­day innovation”可知，创立诺贝尔奖的目的就是奖励其所在时代的科学发现或重大成就。

　　2．Why has the Nobel Prize brought about trouble?

　　A．The one­year timing is not workable.

　　B．Nobel Foundation tries to break his will.

　　C．Nobel's fortune is not well managed.
