Passage 2
A teenage girl from the state of Connecticut has won the top prize in the Intel Science Talent Search. The competition was known as the Westinghouse Science Talent Search until 1998. It is the oldest program in the United States that honors the science projects of high school students.
The Intel Science Talent Search celebrated its sixtieth anniversary last year. The winners received money for a college education and a new computer. More than 1,500 students entered projects for the competition. The students were from 36 states and the District of Columbia. 49 percent were female and 51 percent were male. Their research projects involved every area of science, including chemistry, physics, mathematics, engineering, social science and biology.
Forty students were invited to Washington, D.C. for the final judging by well-known scientists. They judged the students on their research ability and creative thinking. They also questioned the students about scientific problems before deciding on the top ten winners.
The first place winner was Mariangela Lisanti of Westport, Connecticut. She received 100,000 dollars for her college education. Her physics project involved the use of single atoms or molecules to create electronic devices. She developed a new way to measure electron movement in tiny structures.
The second place winner was Nathaniel Jay Craig of Sacramento, California. He received 75,000 dollars for his college education for a physics project. He developed a method for expressing the strength of specially prepared glass by describing the super cooled liquid from which it was formed.
The third place winner was Gabriel Drew Carroll of Oakland, California. He received 50,000 dollars for his college education. His mathematics project involved the partial order of numbers.
The president of Intel, Craig Barrett, praised all the finalists as future leaders. He said their understanding of science and mathematics is important for making sense of the technological world today. And it is important for making the best decisions in the future.

If you are a male and you are reading this, congratulations: you are a survivor .According to statistics .you are more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman ,and nine times more likely to die of AIDS. Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, you will die on average five years before a woman.
There are many reasons for this-typically, men take more risks than woman and are more likely to drink and smoke but perhaps more importantly, men don’t go to the doctor.
“Men aren’t seeing doctors as often as they should,” says Dr. Gullotta, “This is particularly so for the over-40s,when diseases tend to strike.”
Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two. For those over 45, it should be at least once a year.
Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50-year-old ma who had delayed doing anything about his smoker’s cough for a year.
“When I finally saw him it had already spread and he has since died from lung cancer” he says, “Earlier detection and treatment may not have cured him, but it would have prolonged this life”
According to a recent survey, 95%of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year, compared to 70% of men in the same age group.
“A lot of men think they are invincible (不可战胜的)”Gullotta says “They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think” Geez, if it could happen to him.
Then there is the ostrich approach,” some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know,” says Dr. Ross Cartmill.
“Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies,” Cartmill says .He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups
Regular check-ups for men would inevitably place strain on the public purse, Cartmill says.” But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases. Besides, the ultimate cost is far greater: it is called premature death.”
