      本文作者X HY同学，来自广东的一所重点中学，高二年级。计划高中毕业后去美国读大学，有计划读心理学专业，但是学生本人和家长又不完全了解心理学的学科特点。为此，参加美国名校科研，增加学术背景，开拓视野，获得真知。通过美国名校科研老师的指导，申请到了哈佛大学心理学的科研机会。
 
      尤其在感受的最后一段，学生用稚嫩的笔触所言，让我们看到了通过科研，学生的进步与收获。" I feel my passion in psychology. Whether you are succeed in the project or not, it gains some value that you aren’t capable to learn in books. I learned how an academic project form, what those academic data collect and so on. When you catch some opportunities, that means you are lucky and capable to try your best on it. I suddenly fall in love with one sentence seen in the United State: “Go where no one else will go, do what no one else will do.” To be brave to explore yourself, a huge new world will surprise you. "

      When I saw beautiful blue came to my eye, I realized that I am ready for taking this adventure as a real scholar.  It is my first time to travel alone. To be honest, I am very nervous to do a project with Prof. U from Harvard Medical School. I don’t have much confident to persuade myself that a student who is still in the senior high school is able to be successful in a college level program.  Otherwise, Harvard University is the top university in the world. Having a project in Harvard place, working with Harvard people sounds too high to reach. But once you get the chance, you need to try your best getting closer to the peak.
 
      当我看到美丽的蓝色出现在我的眼前，我意识到我已经准备好作为一个真正的学者来冒险了。这是我的第一次。独自旅行。老实说，我很担心和哈佛医学院的教授一起做一个项目。我没有太多的信心。说服自己，一个还在上高中的学生能够在大学一级的课程中取得成功。否则，哈佛大学是世界上最好的大学。在哈佛大学有一个项目，和哈佛大学的人合作，听起来太高了，达不到。但一旦你有机会，你需要尽最大努力接近顶峰。
 
      I arrived in Boston on July 20, then went to university l having meeting with Mentor.U on July 23. He is really nice and kind asking what we feel about the airplane tour, how we deal with jet lag, and where we live with our home stay. We talked like friends, which we seem knowing each other thought a long time. That’s really surprised me. Further, we went on more and more detail about our project. The project is different from my imagine. Our first week task is reading “The neuroscience of adolescent decision-making”  written by Catherine A Bartlett and Leah H Servile, preparing a presentation with our understanding of the article, and asking some question for it. Reading is a big challenge for me. I have to read a college-level paper with thousands of words. Since I never learned neuroscience, it took my several days finishing reading, including looking up the academic vocabularies, learning the scientific theories, and probing more details in it. The whole article is talking about what development processes change during adolescent decision-making. Though whole article, I came out some questions “What development processes change during child decision-making?”,  “Can children make decision without parents or teachers?”, and “ Why would children talk to stranger without adults’ permission?” At the end of first week, we have the second meeting doing our presentation. All the questions were discussed at that time: the curiosity within kids, the changing in curiosity with different age… Our group research topic came from our own idea. It is a topic in what we interested and glad to explore deeply. Finally, we decided our group topic is “ The intensity of curiosity and age.”  
 
      我于7月20日到达波士顿，然后于7月23日去学校与U导师会面。他真的很好。亲切地询问我们对飞机旅行的感受，我们如何应对时差，以及我们住的地方。我们像朋友一样交谈，我们彼此认识很久了。这真让我吃惊。此外，我们对我们的情况越来越详细了。项目。这个项目不同于我的想象。我们的第一周任务是阅读《神经科学》。青少年的决策”由Catherine A Bartlett和Leah H Servile写的，与我们的理解准备一次演讲这篇文章，并问了一些问题。阅读对我来说是一个很大的挑战。我得读一篇上千字的大学级论文。自从我没有学过神经科学，我花了几天的时间读完了书，包括查阅学术词汇，学习科学理论，并在其中探索更多的细节。整篇文章讨论的是神经发育过程在什么时期发生变化。青少年的决策。通过整篇文章，我提出了一些问题：“儿童的神经发育过程发生了什么变化？”决策？孩子们可以不带父母或老师做决定吗？“为什么孩子们要和陌生人说话呢？”大人的许可？“在第一周结束时，我们有第二次会议做我们的陈述。所有问题都讨论过了。那时候：孩子们的好奇心，不同年龄的好奇心的变化……我们的团体研究课题来自我们自己的想法。这是一个我们感兴趣和乐意深入探讨的话题。最后，我们决定我们小组的主题是“好奇心和年龄的强度”。
 
      As the topic had been established, we had to read more. During the second week, we read “A rational analysis of curiosity”, “Intrinsic motivation, curiosity and learning: theory and applications in educational technologies”, “The curiosity and exploration inventory-II: Development, factor structure, and cliometrics”, “The measurement and Conceptualization of curiosity”, “The psychology of curiosity A review and reinterpretation”, “The development of a social curiosity measure in adults.”, and “The theories of curiosity”. It is my first time to read such a long,difficult  and Challenger papers, but I did it. That is not only reading, but also finding, the standards and theories measuring the intensity of curiosity. What I found and wrote, the first report in reading, is that Curiosity intensity based on three theories: Instinct motivation, Information gap, and Intrinsic reward. We also have a discussion in this week. In this discussion, we modified several inappropriate writing and misunderstanding in reading part. After the discussion, the report got the Prof. U permission to use for next step.
 
      随着话题的确立，我们不得不读更多的书。阅读“理性分析好奇心”，“内在动机，好奇心和学习：教育技术的理论和应用”，“好奇心和探索量表II：发展，因素结构和心理测量学”、“测量好奇心的概念化，好奇心理的回顾和再解读，“社会好奇心的发展”“成年人的测量”和“好奇心的理论”。这是我第一次读这么长，困难和挑战的论文，但是我做到了。这不仅是阅读，而且是寻找好奇心的标准和理论的测量。我发现了什么，写了什么，第一个阅读报告是基于三种理论的好奇心强度：本能动机、信息鸿沟和内在奖赏。我们也有本周的讨论。在这篇讨论中，我们修改了一些不适当的写作和误解在阅读部分。后讨论中，该报告获得了U教授的许可，用于下一步。
 
      Within some pernicious researches, such as “A state-Trait curiosity Inventory” written by F.D Baylor, “The Curiosity and Exploration Inventory-II. Development, factor structure, and cliometrics”, and  “CURIOSITY AND EXPLORATION INVENTORY”, we created our own questionnaires in third week. In this section, we set up gender’s option and 5 levels emotions for people choosing in order to help us to evaluate the intensity of curiosity. To more detail, we also set up 9 groups for different aged people. There are two ways that we use for collecting our data. One is updating our questionnaire on the internet, 80% feed backs came from China. The other is extending paper questionnaire to random selected people, which most of participants are the tourists from all over world in Harvard Square in Boston.In total, we receive 92 questionnaires, including 43.48% fourteen to twenty-five aged people, 14.13% thirty-six to forty-five aged people, 19.57% forty-six to fifty-five aged people, 9.78% eight to thirteen aged people, 7.61% twenty-six to thirty-five aged people, and 5.43% fifty-six to seventy-five aged people. There are 51.09% females and 48.81% males. 
 
      在一些可渗透的研究中，如F. D Baylor所写的“状态特质好奇心清单”，“好奇心和勘探清单2。发展，因素结构和心理测量学”和“库存”，我们的好奇心和探索在第三周内创建我们自己的调查表。在这一部分中，我们选择了性别选择和5级情感。为了帮助我们评估好奇心的强度。更详细地说，我们还为不同的老年人设立了9个小组。有两种方法，我们用来收集数据的。一个是在网上更新我们的问卷调查，80%的反馈来自中国。另一个是对随机抽取的人群进行问卷调查，其中绝大多数是来自哈佛广场的来自世界各地的游客。在波士顿。共收到92份问卷，其中43.48%名为十四至二十五名老年人，14.13%名为三十六至四十五岁。老年人19.57%人，四十六～五十五岁，9.78%～十三岁，7.61%～三十五岁，老年人八人，老年人二十六人。5.43%五十六至七十五岁老人。有51.09%名女性和48.81%名男性。
 
      The most memorable meeting was held on the grass plot in front of Harvard Medical School. Prof. U gave lots of suggestion on how to examine the data, what we have to notice, and what we can do with different gender’s group. Followed Dr. U’s step, the result is “age cannot affect people’s curiosity.”. In addition, he also reminded us some possibility in our research. Within the discussion part in our final paper, we noticed that most participates in our survey are Chinese and Americans and we don’t have wide aged range people. What surprised us, result seems male are more curious than female. Since we separate fourteen to twenty-five aged people to two different genders, male and female, within female group, we get 116 total scores. However, we get 138 total scores with male group.   
 
      最难忘的一次会议是在哈佛大学的草地上举行的。医学院。U教授给出了很多关于如何检查数据、我们必须注意什么以及我们可以用不同的方法来做的建议。性别群体。跟着导师U的步伐，结果是“年龄不能影响人们的好奇心。”。此外，他还提醒我们一些可能性在我们的研究中。在我们最后一篇论文的讨论部分，我们注意到大多数参加我们的调查的都是中国人。美国人和我们没有广泛的年龄范围的人。使我们吃惊的是，结果似乎男性比女性更好奇。因为我们将十四～二十五岁的男女分为两个不同的性别，男性和女性，女性组中，总分为116分。然而，我们得到了138的总得分与男性组。
      In my one-month experience, I feel my passion in psychology. Whether you are succeed in the project or not, it gains some value that you aren’t capable to learn in books. I learned how an academic project form, what those academic data collect and so on. When you catch some opportunities, that means you are lucky and capable to try your best on it. I suddenly fall in love with one sentence seen in the United State: “Go where no one else will go, do what no one else will do.” To be brave to explore yourself, a huge new world will surprise you. 
 
      在我一个月的经历中，我感受到了我对心理学的热情。不管你是否成功，它都有一定的价值。你没有能力在书中学习。我学习了一个学术项目的形式，那些学术数据收集等等。当你抓住一些机会，这意味着你很幸运，有能力尽你最大的努力。我突然爱上了一句话。美国：“去没有人去的地方，去做人都不会做的事。”勇敢地探索自己，一个巨大的新世界会令人惊讶。
 
科研起源
 
      在最新的世界学术水平排行榜中，绝大部分都是美国的大学。由于美国大学与工商业、企业结合紧密，同时学校的教学资源、实验课题及实验设备都属于全球顶尖状态，从而成为众多留学生的梦想留学目的地。
 
      目前中国学生申请赴美留学人数日益剧增，以往美国顶尖名校选择录取GPA高分学生，后来校方逐渐发现学生在学习中缺少创新和实操的能力，进而导致美国名校录取率的下降。近些年，招生官对选择学生时更加看重的是自主创新、专业技能、思维创造才能等综合素质人才。对于计划入读美国名校的学生，实际的科研经验无疑可以提升竞争力，从而大大增加被名校录取的概率。
 
      美国名校科研，坚持为更多有梦想的学生提供机会和平台。
