(CNN) — A 12 -year-old girl who had a feeling that she might be quite clever has taken a test and proved she was absolutely right.
Lydia Sebastian achieved the top score of 162 on Mensa's Cattell III B paper, showing she has a higher IQ than well-known geniuses Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. The comparison doesn't sit well with the British student, who's currently in Year 8 at a selective girl's grammar school in Essex, England.
"I don't think I can be compared to such great intellectuals as Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. They've achieved so much. I don't think it's right," Lydia told CNN.
To explain Lydia's mark's level, the top adult score in the Cattell III B test, which mainly tests verbal(语言) reasoning, is 161. A top 2% score — which allows entry to Mensa, the club for those with high IQs — would be 148 or over. Lydia scored 162, placing her in the top 1% of the population.
Lydia's not quite sure what she wants to do when she leaves school, although she's leaning toward something "based on Maths, because it's one of my favorite subjects." "All I'm going to do is work as hard as I can, and see where that gets me," she said.
Imagine on your way out of class today you trip (绊倒) on a loose piece of carpet and twist your ankle. As a result of the injury, you lose your place in the local sports team, and have to miss an important job interview. Bad luck? Or an opportunity to get rich quick?
Perhaps it's not surprising that Roslyn Darch of Houston, Texas, USA felt annoyed when she tripped over a toddler (学步的儿童) running around a furniture store, and broke her ankle. But a few months later, she was $780,000 richer after she successfully sued (起诉) the shop. The owners were clearly surprised at the size of Roslyn's payout, particularly since the toddler she tripped over was her own son.
And it's not only claims for physical injuries that are keeping the lawyers busy. A group of overweight New York teenagers sued a giant fast-food company claiming that they had not had enough warning that a diet of burgers, fries and milk shakes would make them fat. The parents of one nineteen-year-old English schoolgirl successfully sued her school for 42,000 compensation when she failed to get a top grade in a university entrance exam. Sandra York received $113,000 from a Washington D.C. restaurant after slipping on a spilt soft drink.
Who knows where it will end? Some say there should be penalties (处罚) for excessive (过度的) claims, or that there should be a limit on payouts. But one thing's for sure—in the end, the only certain winner is the lawyer!
Everyone who has eaten instant noodles knows that it's very easy to cook them quickly. However, have you ever heard of the danger of eating them?
When taking out the noodles from the packaging, you will notice that they are joined together nicely as a piece. Do you know that it needs some form of wax coating (蜡涂层) to make them joined together nicely? Many people don't really care much about it because this seems very normal. However, studies have shown that the wax coating is bad for our body.
It is advisable to have a break of 2-3 days before we start to eat another packet of instant noodles because our body needs about 3 days to clear that wax coating away. Do you know the danger of having too much wax coating in our stomach? It will lead to cancer if it is in our body for so long.
Luckily, there is a way of reducing the danger before we eat instant noodles. First, wash the noodles with warm water, stir (搅拌) them and pour away the water containing the wax coating. Then repeat the first step and try to stir them again to wash away the wax coating on the noodles before cooking them. The shop vendors (供应商) will often wash away the dangerous wax coating.
It is very easy to cook instant noodles but we must pay attention to the wax coating if we eat too much. Imagine having too much of it in your stomach. Oh, my! Hope this article will help more people know about the hidden danger!
Communication is an essential part of human existence. However, not all of us are born with great personal relationship skills. In fact, a lot of people are afraid of talking to others or in front of a crowd for several reasons including physical deformities(残疾), lack of knowledge, and emotional hindrances(障碍).
Talk about interesting general subjects. Current issues or news items are perfect starters because you can be sure that other people are aware of them.
However, know your limitations. Topics such as religion and politics can be discussed without debating. Often, key issues, especially those that take sides, make the best conversations.
Discuss, do not argue. State facts and opinions politely, but do not force other people to accept what you believe in. After all, the purpose of a conversation is to exchange views and information.
Listen. Like relationships, conversations should have a give-and-take pattern. Allow other people to speak their opinions without constant interruptions. Pay attention and focus on every detail they say.
A. Topics that are too specific may not be appealing to everyone.
B. Do not panic when you have different opinions from others.
C. An interest in another person's point of view is absolutely essential.
D. Do not be afraid of conversational taboos(禁忌).
E. Here are some useful tips on conversation topics.
F. At the same time, be open to their viewpoints.
G. Here are some useful tips to help you get over your poor conversation habits.
It is natural that young people are not often comfortable when they are with their parents. They say that their 1 don't understand them. They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are too hard 2 their children; and that they 3 give their children a free hand. It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children's 4 and they tend to forget how they themselves 5 when young. For example, young people like to act at once without much 6. It is one of their ways to show that they have 7up and they can face any difficult situation. Instead, 8 people worry more easily. Most of them 9 things ahead, at least in their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something 10.
When you want your parents to let you do 11, you will have better success if you ask them 12 you really start doing it.
Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes, in13 and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble; it is just that they feel 14 from the older people's world, into which they have not yet been accepted. That's 15 young people want to make a new culture of their own. And if their parents do not like their music or entertainments or clothes or their ways of speech, this will make the young extremely 16.
Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not need your parents to 17 “yes” to what you do. All you want is to be 18 and do what you like. It is natural enough, after being a child for so many years, that you were completely under your parents' control.
If you plan to control your life, you'd better persuade your parents and try to get them to 19 you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility, they will certainly give you the 20 to do what you want to do.
Buying books on the Internet is a great way (save) time and money. Online bookstores offer not only new books but also used books. What's more, they are far better (compare) to traditional bookstores as they offer much broader kinds of books.

Online bookstores often offer great discounts to (attraction) book lovers with a tight budget.
For book lovers, is important to get books in time, in which case they need to find a (rely) online bookstore that is able to provide fast deliveries.

Some online bookstores are popular fiction books; some are for non-fiction books or novels, etc. Understanding their specialization will help you to get the right kinds of books in time. Never choose stores that offer (believe) cheap prices, as books that (sell) at such low prices could be in very bad condition.

The winter holiday is coming. I as well as Li Ming are going to do something meaningful. What can be seen, the Yellow River is not as cleaner as it used to be. People throw a large amount of rubbishs into the river every day. Besides, many factories pour a great deal of waste water into it, thus cause a serious water pollution. It is time that we do something to protect the river now. Li Ming and I will pick the rubbish floating on the river, that may make the river look cleaner. What's more, we intend to give a speech in the public to increase people's awareness of protecting our mother river. I'm sure they will take on a new look in the near future.
