A Nobel Prize is considered by most people one of the highest international honors (榮譽)a person can receive. As you know, the prizes were started by a Swedish called Alfred Nobel. He was born in Stockholm ,the capital of Sweden. Alfred Nobel was a great scientist. He made two important inventions, and so he became very rich. Although he was rich, Nobel was not a happy man. He never married or had children. Also, he was a sick man during his large part of life. When he died at the age of 63,he left a fund of $9,000,000.The money was used in giving prizes to those who made great achievements（成就） in physics, chemistry, medicine and literature(文學), and for world peace.

The first Nobel Prize were given on December 10,1901,five years after Nobel’s death. Since then many famous people from all over the world have been given Nobel Prize for their achievements. Each prize has three parts. The first part is a gold medal. Second, a winner of a Nobel Prize is given a diploma, saying that he has been given the prize. The third part of the prize is a large amount of money------about $40,000.

Often a prize is given to just one person ,but not always. Sometimes a prize is shared. It may be given to two or more people who have worked together .It is also sometimes true that a prize is not given at all if there is no great achievement. In 1972,for example, no Nobel Peace Prize was given.

Who do you think are the most important people in your life, your parents, your sisters or your brothers, or your friends? I think your answer must be “my friends”. Some teenagers often say their parents don’t understand them. In large families, brothers and sisters often argue with each other. So most of us think friends are the most important people in our lives.

It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a group of friends. As for the reason, it may be because we can discuss some private things with friends. Of course we won’t tell these thi ngs to our family members.

However, parents often try to choose friends for us. They may even stop us from meeting some of our best friends. In fact, they do it just because they care for us too much. But they often neglect our real feeling. How can you solve this problem? I think the best way is to find a right time to talk with parents about our real feelings.

1.Many teenagers think___________ are the most important people in their lives.

A. parents B. friends
