26、Do you believe that you aren’t smarter than 3-year-old Alexis Martin, one of the youngest members of the high IQ club Mensa?
Preschooler (学龄前的) Alexis’ IQ is 159, which is only one point lower than Stephen Hawking’s. Doctors say the average IQ of a person is about 100.
She learned to read at the age of 2. She reads at a fifth grade level and has taught herself Spanish on her parents’ iPad!
Now, she is a member of the Mensa Club, which only accepts people with an IQ within the top two per cent of people in the world!
Alexis’ father, Ian Martin, said he first realized Alexis was special when she was 12 months old. She could recite (背诵) bedtime stories. “We’d be driving around in the car and she would recite her bedtime stories from the night before. She didn’t just recite them, and she recited them exactly.”
Alexis’ father would try to trick her and say that her story went a different way, but she always corrected him.
Most 12-month-old children take their first steps on their own and most 18-month-olds can only name a small number of objects and body parts, and follow simple two-step questions.
Even though Alexis is a genius (天才), her parents are faced with lots of challenges like how to teach her to make friends of her own age.
“Will she go into kindergarten early? We are kind of hesitant (迟疑的) because we do want her to get to that social world,” Ian said.

28、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词,每格一词,首字母已给)
When Words Get Stuck
Does this happen to you? You are in the middle of a conversation. Suddenly, you get stuck on a word. It’s r【1】 there … if you could just remember. You move on. Hours later, the word comes to you. However, you no longer need it— that conversation is over.
What happened? You have just experienced a tip-of-the-tongue moment. Well, you don’t need to feel n【2】 about it. Such moments are just part of the way we communicate.
Lise Abrams is a psychology(心理学)professor at the University of Florida. He has studied tip-of-the-tongue moments for more than 20 years. According to his r【3】, anyone, in any culture, any language and any age group, experiences tip-of-the-tongue moments.
We are more likely to get stuck on words we s【4】 use. It’s because we’re not so familiar with these words. Besides, proper nouns(专有名词)lead to tip-of-the-tongue moments more often. The reason might be that a proper noun may m【5】 different people or things that just have the same name.
Here is an example. Think of the name of the hero in the last novel you read. Now think of a tool with many buttons you use to do calculations. Which word comes to your mind first?
“Calculator!” you will say. That’s because all calculators s【6】 those same features(特点). As a result, you have more “clues” when you try to remember the word. On the other hand, dozens — if not hundreds — of novels have a Tom. They are all very different from each other.
Can we do something to a【7】 tip-of-the-tongue moments? Well, according to Abrams, one way is to use certain words or names more often. Say, if you can never seem to remember the name of that singer your classmates often talk about, try saying his or her name out loud whenever you can. It could save you from embarrassment someday.
