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 officials. 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 from 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 underlying philosophy is that students discover their scientific talents by working on science, not by listening to lectures in a classroom.
The Westinghouse Science Talent Search is ______.
选项
A、a professional science contest for American high school students

C、a respected high school science contest in the U. S.
