A Chilean(智利) soap-opera star, a beauty from Ancient Pompeii and a freckled (雀斑的)boyish girl hardly make an average beauty show line-up.

The first world-wide digital beauty contest to the surprise of many online fans was won by a woman who is virtually(虚拟) real flesh and bones. “Virtual models are not the anti-real, they are a different representation of reality,” said Franz Cerami, the organiser of Miss Digital World (数字世界小姐).

Each of the contestants had to provide the charming photo of high degrees, with date of birth and body measurements.

Chilean Rodolfo Perez Ayala decided that no figure of his imagination could beat the beauty of his wife, Katty Kowaleczko, so he hired artist Flavio Parra to recreate her. Kowaleczko, who plays Paula Sandoval in the popular Latin American soap opera Tentacion, was transformed into Katty-ko and won the digital contest with more than 17,000 online votes.

“I’m so happy Katty-ko won. I think her strength is her similarity to a real woman-not too luxurious or exposed”, Kowaleczko, 40, told reporters. “Her beauty is in her simplicity.” Kowaleczko was not afraid of being replaced by her 3D clone in movies or theatres, but hoped she would become “a sort of ambassador(使者) of Chilean beauty”.

Cerami said Latin American interest in Miss Digital World had greatly increased since Katty-ko joined the contest, which attracted about 3600 entries from countries from Iran to Australia and even from the ancient Roman empire.

“Pompea” was the digital reconstruction of a young woman killed by the outbreak of Vesuvius in 79 AD. “She was a slave, but also a rich man’s lover. When her body was discovered, many jewels and a bangle(手镯) with the writing ‘from the master to his servant girl’ were found” said Genny Tortora, a professor at the University of Salerno who led Pompea’s creative team.

Other contestants included Kaya, the most realistic model with digital freckles, pouty (噘起的) lips and upturned nose.

Now, Cerami’s dream is to manage a form of virtual beauties, introducing them for calendars, games, ads, and movies. One is even reported to be heading for Playboy’s front page.

61.         

Education should be aimed to make better citizens instead of making money. If you’re interested in making money, you should start your own business other than schools. Now it’s high time that we put an end to the industrial management of education(教育产业化) and have it benefit all the people instead of the few rich ones.

62.         

We should take concrete(切实的)measures to lessen the students’ heavy burden of homework.. We must kick off concrete policies and rules instead of talking empty talks. We must take action. Only solid policies can guarantee all the students grow soundly.

63.         

My parents are farmer-turned workers. I think we should be treated equally with the local children. We should not only have the equal right to go to the local public schools, but also have the rights to take part in the local national college entrance exam instead of being forced to go back to our native place

64.         

School choice has become a serious educational problem. To solve this problem fundamentally, we must stick to the balanced development. The government should offer more support to weak schools and have all the teachers exchange the round hillock work(轮岗)among all the schools.

65.          

The government is unwilling to spend enough money on education. The key schools turn to parents for money to build new buildings and labs and increase their teachers’ income. This makes a wider gap(差距) between key schools and common schools. Therefore, in order to realize the balance of education, the government should offer more help to weak schools.
