Alfred Nobel was born in 1833 to a family of engineers in Stockholm, Sweden. Nobel as a young man studied with Nikolai Zinin, a well-known chemist. In 1850, he met Ascanio Sobrero, the inventor of nitroglycerin (炸药) in Paris. Interested in its unpredictable nature of exploding under pressure or heat, Nobel started to find a way to control it and make a usable explosive(炸药). In 1857 he applied for his first patent (专利), an English patent for a gas meter. After years of efforts, in 1867, at the age of 34, Nobel invented dynamite(炸药), which is much easier and safer to control than nitroglycerin. Dynamite was an immediate business success and it was patented in the US and the UK and was widely used in mining. During his lifetime, Nobel invented and patented various explosives. He built up his wealth from his 355 inventions, from which dynamite was the most important. When Alfred’s brother Ludwig died in 1888, a French newspaper mistakenly published Alfred’s obituary (讣告). Reading his own obituary, Nobel was disappointed to find out his public image(形象). The newspaper strongly blamed(责备) Nobel for inventing dynamite, giving him the nickname of “the merchant of death” and saying “Dr.  Alfred Nobel, who became rich by finding ways to kill more people faster than ever before, died yesterday. ”To Alfred, this obituary was a warning. He spent his lifetime alone inventing things and was deeply concerned with how he would be remembered. This unfortunate event inspired him to make changes in his will(遗嘱), so as to improve his public image, and to be remembered for a good cause. In 1895, one year before his death, Nobel made the last will, saying clearly that his wealth would be used to create a series of prizes for those who have made great contributions to mankind in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace. To widespread astonishment, Dr. Alfred Nobel gave away 94% of his total wealth to found the five Nobel Prizes. 1. According to Paragraph 2, what led to Nobel’s outstanding achievements? A. The valuable help from his family. B. The strong desire to make money. C. His lifetime dream of achieving success. D. His great curiosity and devotion to science. 2. What was Alfred Nobel’s attitude towards the newspaper’s obituary? A. Upset. 　　　　　　　　　 B. Supportive. C. Optimistic.      D. Satisfied3. Why did Nobel give away most of his wealth to set up the Nobel Foundation? A. To publish his findings of scientific research. B. To improve his public image. C. To be remembered as the “Merchant of Death”. D. To prove the importance of his inventions. 四、书面表达结合课文主题, 使用本单元词汇与句型写一篇50词左右的短文1. 钱学森是一个毕业于美国的伟大科学家。(graduate)2. 当时, 学成回国是一件很麻烦的事情。但是, 怀着一颗报效祖国的赤子之心, 钱学森带领全家设法回到了中国。(commit)3. 一回到北京, 钱学森就开始安排他的研究工作, 这些工作后来都取得了巨大成功。(upon doing. . . ; lead to)________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________           一、单词拼写1.crucial2.objective3.Botanical4.acknowledged5.property6.distinct7.defeat8.obtained二、短语填空1.make a discovery2.lead to3.by chance4.insist on5.draw out6.tested on三、阅读理解1.D。推理判断题。根据第二段的Interested in its unpredictable nature of exploding under pressure or heat, Nobel started to find a way to control it and make a usable explosive. 诺贝尔对其在压力或高温下爆炸的不可预测性很感兴趣, 于是开始寻找控制它的方法, 并制造出一种可用的炸药。可知对科学的好奇心和献身精神让诺贝尔取得了杰出成就。2.A。推理判断题。根据第四段的Reading his own obituary, Nobel was disappointed to find out his public image. 读到自己的讣告后, 诺贝尔对自己的公众形象感到失望。由此可推之, 诺贝尔对报纸的讣告的态度是沮丧的(upset)。3.B。细节理解题。根据第五段的This unfortunate event inspired him to make changes in his will,  so as to improve his public image,  这一不幸事件促使他改变了自己的遗嘱, 为了去改善自己的公众形象, 故可知诺贝尔把他的大部分财富捐给了诺贝尔基金会的原因是为了改善他的公众形象。四、书面表达Qian Xuesen is a great scientist, who graduated from US.
