Text one: The Westinghouse Science Talent Search, the most prestigious
high school science contest in the nation, was launched to identify young
scientific talent, and it has been doing so with remarkable precision since
1941. Every year, approximately 1,700 students from around the country
polish off projects they have been working on for as long as two years, and
send in a report to the contest offficials. Simply entering the contest is an
impressive achievement for a high school junior. It means that the student
has spent hundreds of hours probing a scientific question or testing a theory
about which he has written a scientific paper of near-professional quality.
The top 300 students become semifinals, and from this group, 40 are
selected to bring their projects to Washington. Ten projects are then
selected as the best in the final round of judging. The 40 finalists get at
least $1,000 for their effort, and the top student receives a $40,000
scholarship. Most of the winners, from semifinals up, are guaranteed
admission to the college of their choice.
From the very start, this contest was different ftom traditional science
fairs. Its goal was not simply to choose the best project but to locate the
best potential scientists. The distinction is an important one. The contest
has a number of features that test the mettle of the students as well as the
projects. It endeavors to explore the nimbleness and originality of the
minds behind the projects, rather than just rewarding the boldness of the
experiment. The contest’s unnderlying philosophy is that students
discover their scientific talents by working on scinece, not by listening to
lectures in a classroom.
1. The Westinghouse Science Talent Search is .
A a professional science contest for American high school students
B a conventional American science contest
C a respected high school science contest in the U.S.
D a science fair exclusively for high school juniors
