Shi Peng won the top prize in a college，students'start﹣up（创业） competition for setting upa website to help children find playmates（玩伴）．
Shi was brought up by his grandparents in avillage in Hubei Province．（106） Later，the 22﹣year﹣old student at a university in Wuhan decided to setup a special
website for children．He hoped that his website could help children meet new friends of the same age and feel less lonely．
（107） According to his research one about 6，000children in citieslike Guangzhou，Wuhan and Stizhou，most of them don't havebrothers orsisters and they are in need of playmates．"From my own experience，I think it's a great idea to have such a website on which children can findplaymates，"Shi said．
The website is set up mainly for pre﹣school children in kindergarten（幼儿园） and their parents．All the users of the website must use theirreal names．（108） Through the website，parents who are busy duringthe day can get in touch with other parents who are free and willing tofind some playmates for their children．
As it gets more and more popular among children and parents，the
website now holds many colorful offline activities．（109） The websitealso provides parents with valuable chances to communicate with eachother．

For years，psychologists（心理学家） have been against giving children prizes or money for their performance in school．"Outwards"prizes，they say，can undermine the joy of learning for its own good and can even lead to cheating．
But many economists（经济学家） and business people disagree，and their opinions often become popular in the educational market place．Prize programs that pay students are underway in many cities．In some places，students can bring home hundreds of dollars for，say，taking an Advanced Placement course and having high grades in the exams．
"Whether such efforts work continues to be a debate（争议），"said Barbara Marian，an assistant professor of education at Pennsylvania State．She is against using prizes as encouragement．Among parents，it often leads to very hot discussion．And in public education，a new focus on school reform（改革） pushes researchers on both sides of the debate to make more efforts to get data（数据） that may provide information on when and whether prizes work．
"We have to get beyond our biases（偏见），"said Roland Fryer，aneconomist at Harvard University who is planning and testing several prizeprograms．"Luckily，the scientific method allows us to examine most ofthose biases and let the data do the talking．"In the cash programs being studied，Roland Fryer and other economists compare the schoolperformance of groups of students who are paid and students who arenot．In the study，they find that the students who are prized get highergrades on the SAT and go to better colleges than those who are not．
However，many psychologists believe that early data can be one﹣sided．Research suggests that prizes may work in the short term but havebad influences in the long term．
"Are they highly interested in what they are doing？Or does it feel like hard work？The same prize program might have different influences ondifferent kinds of students，"said Kirabo Jackson，a famous psychologist at Cornell University．"The higher the prize is，the more harmful the result might be．"
