(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，suggesting 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 Colchester County high school，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.
Lydia sat the test in her summer holidays，after raising the idea with her parents and pestering (纠缠) them for the best part of a year.It turns out the test wasn't that hard after all.
“I was really nervous before the test and I thought it was going to be really hard.But as I started the test，I thought it was a bit easier than I thought it was going to be，” she said.
Lydia's not quite sure what she wants to do when she leaves school，although she's leaning toward something based around Math, “because it's one of my favorite subjects.” “All I'm going to do is to work as hard as I can，and see where that gets me，” she said.
To explain Lydia's mark's level，the top adult score in the Cattell Ⅲ B test，which primarily 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.

3．C 解析：根据本段标题Model good driving及下文中的．..they learned how to

答案：[解题导语]一个人不要在意别人对你的看法，你该关注的是做你想做并认为值得做的事情。

2．made 解析：考查动词的时态。句意：当我是个小孩子时，人们的确因为那个而戏弄过我，并让我觉得热爱奇怪的东西是有问题的。设空处与teased并列，共同作句子的谓
