3岁天才儿童：IQ145会用5国语言算术

　　While both parents are bright and articulate, they’re not brain boxes like Michael。迈克尔的父母很聪明，口才也好，但不像迈克尔那样有个超级大脑。

　　Emma, 39, has nine GCSEs, three A-levels and a degree in English and history but describes herself as ‘more of a word person than a numbers person’. Dad Anthony, 33, dropped out of school early and is a chef in an Italian restaurant。母亲艾玛39岁，修完了三个A-Level课程和一个英语历史学位，但她描述自己更多是“一个文科生而不是理科生”。父亲安东尼33岁，早年就辍学了，现在是一家意大利餐馆的厨师。

　　‘We’re just ordinary working people. Who knows where he got it from?’ says Emma。“我们就是一般的工薪族啊。天知道他(的聪明才智)是从哪来的？”母亲艾玛说道。

　　But it was clear from an early stage there was something special about Michael。但是很明显，迈克尔先天聪颖，十分特别。

　　He was interested in numbers as soon as he could see them, was walking at 11 months (‘He never crawled — he just got up and walked’)， has always been obsessed with books and, sadly for Emma and Granny, has never needed a nap。他一见到算术就爱的不可自拔，11个月就会走路了(他从来都不爬行——长大了以后就直接会走路了！)，他总是着迷于书籍，真为母亲艾玛和奶奶感到伤心——他都不需要午睡。

　　‘He requires very little sleep,’ says Emma. ‘His brain is constantly whirring. There’s no point in putting him to bed before nine as he’s just not tired out and then the minute he falls asleep his brain starts recharging.’ “他几乎不需要睡眠，”艾玛说。“他的大脑不断嗡嗡的转动。在9点前根本没法把他哄上床，因为他就是不会疲倦啊，然后他一睡着，脑袋就又充上电了。”
