A three-year-old girl with an IQ above 160 has just become the youngest person in Arizona to be accepted into Mensa．
In fact，doctors said young Alexis Martin did so well on intelligence tests they couldn’t even calculate her IQ score exactly．
Mensa is an imemational club which only accepts members who have an IQ score in the top two per cent world wide．
The average person scores an IQ of approximately 100．But when Martin scored 160，the highest possible rating on the test，she matched the IQs of geniuses like Albert Einstein，Stephen Hawking，and Bill Gates，who are also thought to be in a similar range．
Martin’s parents said their little girl had given them signs she might be gifted for a long time.
From 12-18 months old，we’d be driving around in the car and she would recite her bedtime story from the night before，her father,Ian，told ABC 15．
She didn’t just recite them，she recited them exactly．
She’s cunently consuming books at a 5th grade reading level and even taught herself Spanish on the family’s iPad．
Anytime she learns a word and just picks it up through anything，she never uses it in the incorrect context，said fan．
And while her parents are grateful for her intellectual prowess(高超技艺)，they are worried about what unique challenges it might give to raising Alexis．
One of the doctors who tested her said Alexis could never go to a normal school and that children with her level of intelligence often suffer from high anxiety unless they’re around similarly gifted boys and girls．
Does she go into kindergarten early?We are kind of hesitant because we do want her to get that social aspect，Ian said．

B
Clenching your fist could be enough to help you get a grip on your memory．
Research suggests that balling up the right hand and squeezing it tightly actually makes it easier to memorize lists．
Later, when it is time to get back the information，it is the left hand that should be clenched．It is thought the movements activate brain regions key to the storing and recall of memories．
The American researchers suggest those who are short of a pen and paper should try the trick when attempting to remember a shopping list or phone number．
In the study,volunteers were given a rubber ball and asked to squeeze it as hard as possible before trying to memorize a list of 72 words．
They squeezed the ball again a couple of minutes later,ahead of recollecting as many of the words as possible．
The first group of the volunteers used their right hand on both occasions，and the second group their left．The third group clenched their right fist ahead of memorizing and their left ahead of recall and the fourth did the opposite．The fifth group held the ball but did not squeeze it．
Those who squeezed with their right hand，followed by their left，remembered the most words．
The next best were the volunteers who made a fist with their right hand both times，while those who didn’t squeeze at all did better than those who led with their left．
It is thought that the movement of clenching the right fist activates a brain region that is involved in storing memories，while squeezing the left hand awakens an area that is key to getting back information．
Lead researcher Dr Ruth Propper said：‘The findings suggest that simple body movements—by temporarily changing the way the brain functions—Call improve memory．’
46．What’s the writer’s purpose to write the passage?
A．To make known the result of the experiment．
B．To tell people memory depends mostly on their hands．
C．To show the function of body’movements in memory．
D．To state that good memory benefils from labor．
