21、e ideal of peace. Thousands of men and women have been honored since the first awards were given out in 1901. The awards let the world know about the developments that may have a huge effect on our lives.However, the prizes are controversial sometimes. There is often protest(抗议) at the award of the
22、peace prize when not everyone thinks that the award-winners deserve the award. Even the award for literature has sometimes been criticized because the award committee often neglects important writers. The highly influential novelists James Joyce and Marcel Proust,for example,were never honored by th
23、e Swedish Academy.Still, for the most part of the awards dont cause many complaints.

27、ive.4、 It is safe to say that George Bernard Shaw(18561950),the Irish-born writer,is more famous for being George Bernard Shaw than he is for his writings today. Few of Shaws more than 60 plays,novels and essays are performed or read anymore. And yet Shaw genuinely helped make our modern world. Alth
28、ough youd be lucky to get a chance to see one of his dramas today, in his time he turned the theater into a vehicle for the discussion of social issues, not only in Britain but on the stage of the world.

30、g these topics central to public debate. His first play, Widoxvers Houses (1892) 9 deals with the question of slum(贫民窟) housing.

Shaw was also the founder (in 1895) of one of the now most famous colleges in the world, the London School of Economics.If few of his works have really stood the test of time, many of his quotations have become part of the furnitu
32、re of the English language. “Youth is wasted on the young,” he wrote. He also knew how to sum up a political philosophy(哲学) in a few memorable words. For instance: “A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.1.Shaws influence on the modern world comes mainly fr
33、om _.A.the changes he brought to the British cultureB.his philosophies on the role of governmentC.his awareness of social problems of his dayD.the support for the London School of Economics2.Widowers Houses is a play that mainly focuses on _.A.the failure of the UK education systemB.the housing prob
