Meet the 14-year-old who might change the way we see the world Jacob Barnett is what we might call a genius. The boy's already in college, has an 10 of 170 and, in his free time, is developing an exoanded version ofthe theory of relativity. Not bad for a 14-year-old, especially one whos been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (a mild form of autism) and who has trouble sleeping because he constantly sees numbers in his head! Not bad at alll At the age of two, Jacob—or Jake as most people call him.—stil hadn't learned how to tak, so his parents suspected he might have 2 learning cisablity, according to his mother, Kristine, 36. As he grew up, however she and her husband realized their son was actually gifted. And how incredibly gifted! By the age of three Jacob could easily solve 5000-piece puzzles, calculate the volume ofthe cereal box while having breakfast and learn by heart every single highwiay on the Indiana state road map. Just 2 few years later, while other kids ‘were playing soccer or watching TY, Jake was having fun drawing complex geometrcal shapes and writing huge equations on the living room windows, Imagine tht! By the time he reached fifth grade, aged eight, it was clear that his mathematical ability was unusually high (t the level of a doctorate decree, actualy), so he dropped out of elementary schoo), taught himself al the ‘math he needed to knowin only one week (!), skipped high school and enrolled at Purdue University. where he was allowed to attend advanced astrophysics cases. Five yeas later Jacob moved beyond the level of what his professors could teach him, so he eventually became a paid researcher—at only 131 So what else does a boy lke Jacob do in his free time besides trying to expand on Einstein's theories? In many ways, Jake is a typical teen: has a girlriend, plays video games, hangs out with friends... the usual, His future looks brighter than most, though. If Jake's theories prove coreci, this 14-year-old from Indiana may well forever change how we view science and the world, And who says kids don't read anymore?!Sympathizing end Griticizing _ 4.15 Listen to four dialogs and match them to the situations in the pictures. 4.16 Listen again, After each beep, predict the next line from those in the chart.
