You must have heard of Nobel Prize. But do you know where it comes from? The answer is: Alfred Nobel.
Alfred Nobel, the great Swedish inventor and industrialist(实业家), was born in Stockholm on October 21, 1833, but moved to Russia with his parents in 1842, where his father, Immanuel, made a strong position for himself in the engineering industry. Immanuel Nobel invented the landmine(地雷) and made a lot of money from government during the Crimean War(克里米亚战争), but went bankrupt(破产的) soon after. Then, the family returned to Sweden in 1859, where Alfred began his own study of explosives(炸药) in his father's lab. He had never been to school or university but had studied privately(私自的), and by the time he was twenty, he became a skillful chemist and excellent linguist(语言学家), speaking Swedish, Russian, German, French and English. He built up over 80 companies in 20 different countries. But seldom happy, he was always searching for a meaning to life, he never married. He spent much time and money working on how to end the wars, and thus peace between nations, until his death in Italy in 1896. His famous will, in which he left money to provide prizes for outstanding work in physics, chemistry, physiology(生理学), medicine, literature(文学) and peace, is a memorial to his interests and ideas. And so, the man is remembered and respected(尊敬) long after his death.

pronunciation. Language is an important part of culture, and becoming familiar with (熟悉) the culture
as well as the language can make the learning experience much more enjoyable.
When I was a university student, I studied Chinese for three years. Before I went to university, I had
very little knowledge of China. Therefore, when I started learning to speak Chinese, it was important for
me to also learn about China's history and culture. China's culture is very different from my own and I
become interested in it soon.
It will be much more fun to learn about culture when you study a new language. Culture can teach you
so many things about a language. It can give you background information about the language and tell you
the history of the language. I also found out one fact, that is, if you have some knowledge about the country
and the culture, you will communicate with its people much easier.
Whenever I try to learn a new language, I enjoy knowing information about the culture as well. It's a
challenge to dig (挖掘) deeper for more information, but it is very rewarding!
