27、   Have you ever dreamed of meeting top scientists in person? If so, what would you like to ask them?

For Tan Fanglin, a 15-year-old girl from No. 2 High School of East China Normal University in Shanghai, her dream of meeting top scientists has already come true.

In October, she attended the World Laureates Forum(世界顶尖科学家论坛) for a second time, which had attracted(吸引) 44 Nobel Prize winners and 21 other world-class prize winners.

According to Xu Jun, Tan’s head teacher from her middle and high school, she doesn’t take after-school classes or too many exercises.

Her mother told Guangming Daily that Tan always treats studying and life with a positive mindset so she can feel happy while studying.
