【正文】 I think it depends a lot on which country they e from, their personal finances... what kind of ines they have when they get the prize, he said. Real estate, however, is a popular option, at least among those willing to reveal what they spend the money on. Phillip Sharp, the American cowinner of the 1993 medicine prize, decided to splash out on a 100yearold Federal style house. I took that money and bought a little bit bigger house... It39。s a beautiful old place, he told AFP(法新社), adding that The money is a nice part of the process, but the important thing about the prize is the recognition. For winners of the peace prize the decision is often more clearcut, as the honor tends to go to politicians, organizations and activists who are under more public supervision. Many, like US President Barack Obama in 2009 and the European Union in 2012, donate to charities. Literature winners tend to be more private about how they use the money, but the choice is often equally straightforward. Even if Nobelwinning authors are quite well known, many of them will not have made much money from writing, said Anna Gunder, a Nobel literature expert at Uppsala University. While the prize might keep the wolf from the door for some years, giving them freedom to write, it can also briefly have the opposite effect. It really changes their careers… During the first year after they39。ve won they often write less, but they generally continue after a year or two, said Gunder.（1）From the passage, we learn that ______.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. In a career that lasted more than half a century, Tom Wolfe wrote fiction and nonfiction bestsellers including The Electric KoolAid Acid Test and The Bonfire of the Vanities. Along the way, he created a new type of journalism and coined phrases that became part of the American vocabulary. Wolfe began working as a newspaper reporter, first for The Washington Post, then the New York Herald Tribune. He developed a literary style in nonfiction that became known as the New Journalism. I39。ve always agreed on a theoretical level that the techniques for fiction and nonfiction are interchangeable, he said. The things that work in nonfiction would work in fiction, and vice versa. When Tom Wolfe39。s voice broke into the world of nonfiction, it was a time when a lot of writers, and a lot of artists in general, were turning inwards, says Lev Grossman, book critic for Time magazine. Wolfe didn39。t do that. Wolfe turned outwards. He was a guy who was interested in other people. Wolfe was interested in how they thought, how they did things and how the things they did affected the world around them. In 1979, Wolfe published The Right Stuff, an account of the military test pilots who became America39。s first astronauts. Four years later, the book was adapted as a feature film. The Right Stuff was the book for me, says Grossman. It reminded me, in case I39。d forgotten, that the world is an incredible place. In The Right Stuff, Wolfe popularized the phrase pushing the envelope. In a New York magazine article, Wolfe described the 1970s as The 39。Me39。 Decade. Grossman says these phrases became part of the American idiom because they were accurate. He was an enormously forceful observer, and he was not afraid of making strong claims about what was happening in reality, Grossman says. He did it well and people heard him. And they repeated what he said because he was right. All those words started a revolution in nonfiction that is still going on.（1）The New Journalism is a style of journalism that .
