  Mary Masterman hasn't decided where she will attend college, but when she does, she'll have plenty of money to pay for it.The 17-year-old took home a $100,000 scholarship Tuesday as the top winner of the 2007 Intel Science Talent Search.

  "It was a complete surprise," said the senior at Westmoore High School in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma."I wasn't expecting it." Masterman earned first place at this year's competition by building a low-budget spectrograph(摄谱仪)- an instrument that identifies the unique characteristics, or "fingerprints," of different molecules.Spectrographs are used in a variety of fields, including astronomy, medicine, and law enforcement.They can sense the presence of explosives or drugs, and they can also help determine the age of a piece of artwork.

  Normally, the cost of a spectrograph can run as high as $100,000.Mary, however, built her device-which she crafted from lenses, a laser, aluminum(铝)tubing, and a camera-for just $300."I wanted to build one that was lower-costing so it would be more available to anyone interested in spectrography," she said.

  Sticking to a budget was only half the battle.Getting the machine to work was another challenge."I had to keep coming up with creative ways to adjust or change something," Mary admitted."It took three months to build and another three months before it actually functioned properly."

  Mary competed with more than 1,700 other high school seniors in this year's science challenge.Forty finalists were invited to Washington, D.C., where they presented their projects at the National Institute of Science.In all, 10 students took home awards for their innovative projects.

Like a scene out of a reality show or a Disney movie, Southgate, Mich., teenager Ashley Qualls' moment has arrived.

She may not have an MBA, a high-school diploma, or even a driver's license yet, but Asheley Qualls already has an influential website (www. Whateverlife.Com). The 17-year-old girl has been building her online business for two years.

In December 2004, Qualls borrowed $8 from her mother to buy the Whateverlife.com. domain name (域名). She intended to use the website as a way to share her design for My Space pages with her friends.

But in the incontrollable, fast-moving world of cyberspace, others began noticing Qualls' site even though she never has spent a penny on advertising.

When  it  comes  to  web  traffic, Whateverlife.com .currently ranks No. 825 out of 20.3 million websites, drawing 2.4 million visitors worldwide during the last 30 days. Qualls said that on average, 72% of her site's audience made a return visit.

Whateverlife.com earned a million dollars in revenue last year and is on track to do the same this year.

“I'm stubborn and I'm independent,” she said from her office in the basement of her house. “I like the feeling that it's my company, and I want to have the say-so (主张) in everything.”

But don't mistake Qualls for another smart but spoiled teenager. She is growing up fast but owns talent for life and business that elude many girls of her age.

The task of running a million-dollar company isn't without its sacrifices(牺牲) and challenges for a teenager. Qualls dropped out of Lincoln Park High School after her sophomore year to work fulltime on Whateverlife.com, a decision that she said shocked her family, friends and teachers. She now is studying to get her degree in graphic design.

1. Many people noticed Qualls' site because ________.

A. it was set up by a 17-year-old girl

B. Qualls shares her design with her friends

C. Qualls has been building her online business

D. the world cyberspace develops fast and uncontrollable

2. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?

A. Qualls' Website Whateverlife .com. No. 825 in 20.3 million websites.

B. About 2.4 million visitors worldwide visit her

website every month.

C. Most of her audience have visited her website at least twice.

D. Qualls has the right to decide everything in her company.
