However, he<br /> foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the<br /> inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for<br /> awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind. Originally there were<br /> five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just<br /> sixty-seven years after the first awards ceremony.<br /> Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used<br /> for the awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000.<br /> Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death, the awards (gold medal,<br /> illuminated diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important<br /> role in the judges' decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few<br /> literature prizes.<br /> No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II. Some people<br /> have won two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes. No awards were presented from<br /> 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War 11.

The rest<br /> of the dietary energy comes from carbohydrates, fats, and in some people, alcohol. The proportion of<br /> calories from fats varies from 10 percent in poor communities to 40 percent or more rich<br /> communities.<br /> In addition to providing energy, fats have several other functions in the body. The fat-soluble<br /> vitamins A, D, E, and K, are dissolved in fats, as their name implies. Good sources of these vitamins<br /> have high oil or fat content, and the vitamins are stored in the body’s fatty tissues. In the diet, fats<br /> cause food to remain longer in the stomach, thus increasing the feeling of fullness for some time after<br /> a meal is eaten. Fats add variety, taste, and texture to foods, which accounts for the popularity of fried<br /> foods. Fatty deposits in the body have an insulating and protective value. The curves of the human<br /> female body are due mostly to strategically located fat deposits.<br /> Whether a certain amount of fat in the diet is essential to human health is not definitely known.<br /> When rats are fed a fat-free diet, their growth eventually ceases, their skin becomes inflamed and<br /> scaly, and their reproductive systems are damaged. Two fatty acids, linoleic and arachidonic acids,<br /> prevent these abnormalities and hence are called essential fatty acids. They also are required by a<br /> number of other animals, but their roles in human beings are debatable. Most nutritionists consider<br /> linoleic fatty acid an essential nutrient for humans,<br /> Question 39: This passage probably appeared in which if the following?<br /> A.

Poor people eat more fatty foods.<br /> Question 41: The word “essential” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to_____.<br /> A.
