在我们国内，15岁的毛丫头根本算不上是一个“人物”。可是，15岁的华裔女孩Clara Ma就是与众不同。请看以下相片：

        她的获奖短文如下：

       “Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind. It makes me get out of bed in the morning and wonder what surprises life will throw at me that day. Curiosity is such a powerful force. Without it, we wouldn’t be who we are today. When I was younger, I wondered, ‘Why is the sky blue?’, ‘Why do the stars twinkle?’, ‘Why am I me?’, and I still do. I had so many questions, and America is the place where I want to find my answers. Curiosity is the passion that drives us through our everyday lives. We have become explorers and scientists with our need to ask questions and to wonder. Sure, there are many risks and dangers, but despite that, we still continue to wonder and dream and create and hope. We have discovered so much about the world, but still so little. We will never know everything there is to know, but with our burning curiosity, we have learned so much.”

         我想，该短文的最后一句话就是赢得这项荣誉的关键之处。......此刻，我在问自己一个问题：一个15岁的黄皮肤女孩（我叫她们是小黄毛丫头），为什么在大洋的彼岸竟会有这样的想法？我们的基础教育到底是怎么了？
