  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.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。

  Targeting teens

  But using the Web also makes teens a target.Posting too much personal information for those millions of cyber eyes to see can cause some big problems and can even invite a threat to your life.

  As Mary learned, not everyone on the Internet is who he or she says they are.Adults will sometimes pose as other teens, posting fake photos and nice messages to gain trust.They use their fake identity to access the personal information of others, such as home address, phone number, or school name.

  "That's not the most common scenario", says David Finkelhor, a sociology professor at the University of New Hampshire."Only 3 percent of teens aged 10 to 18 who use the Internet report being asked to meet offline.But the danger is real.

  Safety measures

  Mary's My Space profile is set to "private", which means that only the people she adds under the "friend" category can access her page.She also doesn't have any pictures of herself on her site.The only self-identifying material she has posted is her name, grade, and a list of hobbies.

  "People can only add me if they know my last name or my e-mail, "Mary says." I don't want random people to see my profile.I just go online to talk to my friends."

  Stay safe and have fun online

  Experts say almost 90 percent of U.S.Teens are online.But not everyone knows how to surf the Web in a smart way.With these tips, you can have fun, stay safe, and avoid embarrassment!

  Pick a safe password.Make sure your password is something that other people won't be able to guess.Use numbers in between letters."spar123ky" is better than "sparky 123."

  Pick a safe username.Make sure yours doesn't say too much about you, "Happygirl13" is better than "AliceWaters13." Don't include your name, age, or where you are from.Never tell a stranger your name, school, address, age, birthday, phone number, or friends' names.

(1)

Who is most likely to be a victim online?

[  ]
