A 17-year-old boy from the northeastern state of Massachusetts has won the top prize in the Intel Science Talent Search. The competition is the oldest program in the United States that honors the science projects of high school students. The Intel Science Talent Search is 63 years old this year. The winners receive a new computer and money for a college education. A record says 1,652 students from 46 states entered projects for the competition this year. Their research involved nearly every area of science, including chemistry, medicine, physics, mathematics, engineering, computer science and social science. 40 students were invited to Washington, D.C. for the final judging. A group of well-known scientists judged them on their research abilities, critical thinking skills and creativity. The judges also questioned the students about scientific problems before deciding on the winners.

The top winner is Herbert Mason Hedberg. He received 100,000 dollars for his college education. He developed a faster, more effective method to tell if a person has cancer. He explored a way to separate telomerase, an enzyme(酶) found in most cancer cells. His findings have helped advance research into ways of stopping cancer cells from growing. Herbert said he started the project after watching his grandmother struggle against cancer. The second place winner is 17-year-old Boris Alexeev. He received a 75,000-dollar scholarship. His research in computer science could be used in the study of genetics(遗传学). The third place winner is 17-year-old Ryna Karnik. She won 50,000 dollars for describing a new way to build microchips(芯片) used in computers.

Andrew Yeager of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center was chairman of the judges for the Intel Science Talent Search this year. Past competition winners have gone on to receive many of the world’s highest honors for science and mathematics.

The Beatles had a song that once was a hit on US college campuses, back in the 60s, that went like this: “They say the best things in life are free, but you can keep them for the birds and bees. Now give me money. That’s what I want.”

That may have been almost 40 years ago, but those words are still true for some students today, according to a survey of students’ attitudes.

The American Freshman Survey of more than 267,000 students at 413 colleges and universities nationwide showed more than 50 percent of them said they went to college for “financial well-being in the future”. Fewer than 40 percent saw higher education as a way of developing a meaningful philosophy of life.

University of California education professor Linda Sax, the director of the survey, said this reflects a longstanding tension between material rewards and the value of education, something that has been strengthened in recent years.

 “Students also increasingly concentrate on prestige(声望) and college rankings, making them more concerned about where they go to school than why they’re going,” Sax said.

Dustin Grant, a freshman of University of Southern California, said the survey results matched his views on what students think about as they leave high school.

Grant, who is a business major, thinks the high costs of college fuel this materialism.

“This is a major investment - like US$40,000 a year. When you’re putting so much in, you’re going to expect to get something out of it,” he said.

But, the 20-year-old added: “Required courses in humanities and the intellectual life on campus can encourage students to think critically about their values and beliefs. College surely opens up new perspectives(景象). Seniors probably express a greater concern for finding meaning in life.”

One night in February 1962, John H. Glenn, Jr. flew over Australia. The man in the Mercury (水星) capsule was alone, but friendly voices reached him by radio. Over the dark land 100 miles below, he saw sparkling lights. It marked the city of Perth, where people had turned on their lights as a greeting to him.

In Friendship 7, Glenn radioed, “The lights show up very well. Thank everybody for turning them on.” His capsule moved on to the east.

During his three orbits of the earth, Glenn could always reach one of the 18 tracking stations. Some of them were on ships at sea. Others were in the United States.

Many of the stations had been built with the help of other countries. These countries allowed Americans to bring in radio equipment and set it up. Without the help of such lands as Nigeria, Zanzibar and Mexico, there would have been breaks in the worldwide radio network. John Glenn, Jr. was the first American to orbit the earth. For his flight, the tracking network (跟踪网络) covered 60,000 statute miles (法定英里). 500 men worked in the stations along the route. Since his flight, the network has grown. Today, it covers more than 100,000 statute miles and has about 100 stations. One-third of these stations are outside the United States.
