As the outer container is a list you have to provide an index:

results[1]["score"]

You can also search for a matching item:

for result in results:
   if result["name"] == "gengyang":
       print(result["score"])

but when the list grows performance will suffer.

General note: you will have a better experience learning Python when you 
read some introductory text first, to get the big picture.
