VI. Read the passage, then choose the correct answer - b, c, or d.

          Alfred Nobel was born on October 21, 1833 in Sweden. His important invention was dynamite - a power explosive. This dynamite business made him a very rich man. One day, Alfred Nobel read about his death in a newspaper. In fact, it was his brother's death. The reporter called him a salesman of death, 'The Dynamite King'. Nobel was very upset. He had invented dynamite to save lives-lives that were lost because other explosives were dangerous to use. He hated violence and war. And he did not like the world to think of him as a man of war.
         He thought of the best way for people to use his fortune for years. Finally he knew what to do with his fortune. Alfred Nobel established the Nobel Prize, an annual award to honor leaders of science, literature, and world peace. Alfred Nobel died on December 10, 1896. He was unmarried and had no children. His important decision changed the way the world thought of him. He was remembered the way he wanted: Alfred Nobel, man of peace.

Walt Whitman, born in New York in 1819, was one of American’s unusual literary figures. As an individualist, he rambled through the countryside seeing people and places, and making them his own. His experiences in earning a living were varied : at times he was a printer, a teacher, a carpenter, a nurse, and a newspaper editor. He was a big hearted man, open and accepting. He gave freely of his time by caring for the wounded during the Civil War. Though he lived in the city, he often spent time in the country, developing his strong sense of nature, which carried through to his poems. In 1855, he collected the verses he had written, and published them in one thin volume, “Leaves of Grass” a book which he revised and rewrote all the rest of his life. The book was ridiculed by some poets and generally ignored by the others, probably because his verse forms were not traditional. He had felt that it was necessary to achieve a new poetic form in order to communicate his views. His reputation didn’t grow until after his death, and it reached a high point in 1920s. Since then, Whitman’s style has greatly influenced modern poets.
