How smart can a 3-year-old girl be? You can't imagine．你不敢想像一个三岁女孩能有如此聪明！

1 The average person's IQ is about 100. But Alexis Martin, a 3-year-old girl from America, has the highest score on the test. Her IQ is 160 and she has similar IQ as Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, and Bill Gates.

2 In fact, doctors said young Alexis Martin did so well in the tests that they couldn't even calculate her IQ score exactly. ①

3 The parents knew she was gifted when she was between the ages of 12 and 15 months. “When we were driving around in the car, she would recite her bedtime story from the night before, ” her father, Ian, said. “She didn't just recite them, but she recited them exactly.”

4 She's now reading books at a 5th grade reading level and even teaching herself Spanish on the family's iPad.

5 “Anytime she learns a word and just picks it up through anything, she never ever uses it in the incorrect context, ” said Ian.

6 And while her parents are thankful for her intellect, they are worried about what challenges it might give to raising Alexis.

7 One of the doctors who tested her said Alexis could never go to a normal school and that children like her often suffer from high anxiety unless they're around similarly gifted boys and girls. ②
