 Think about the things a
four-year-old girl can do. You may not think that there are many things
she can do. Surprisingly, however, a girl named Heidi Hankins from
England can read 30 books in about an hour!
That’s not all. She can also recite poems, write in sentences, and add and subtract. Recently, this
amazing girl became a member of Mensa, the high
IQ society. The average IQ score for an adult is 100. Usually, gifted people’s average IQ
is around 130. Surprisingly,
Heidi’s IQ is 159! The world-famous physicist Stephen Hawking
has an IQ of 160. He is also a member of Mensa.
 According to Heidi’s parents,
she started reading books for seven-year-olds when she was just two.
She could also count to 40 by age two, and
draw pictures of people. “She was making noises and trying to talk
since she was born. By age
one, her vocabulary was quite good,”
explained her father Matthew.
“I was curious about her IQ and
the results were so surprising.
We are really proud of her.” You may think Heidi must be special in
many ways. But she is just a little girl who likes her Barbie dolls
and Lego. Let’s hope Heidi will grow up to be a great person who makes
a difference in the world! |
