Most musicians agree that the best violins were first made in Cremona，Italy，about 200years ago． These violins sound better than any others． They even sound better than the violins made today． Violin makers and scientists try to make instruments like the Italian violins． But they aren't the same． Musicians still prefer the old ones．
Some people think it is the age of the violins． But not all old violins sound wonderful． Only the old violins from Cremona are special． So age cannot be the correct answer．
Other people think the secret to those violins is wood． The wood must be from certain kinds of trees． But the kind of wood may not be so important． It may be more important to cut the wood in a special way． Wood for a violin must be cut very carefully． It has to be the right size and shape． The smallest difference will change the sound of the violin． Musicians sometimes think that it was the secret of the Italians． Possibly they understood more than us about how to cut the wood．
Size and shape may not be the answer， either． Scientists can make new ones which are exactly the same size and shape． But the new violins still do not sound as good as the old ones． Some scientists think the secret may be the varnish （清漆） Varnish is what covers the wood of the violin． It makes the wood look shiny． It also helps the sound of the instrument． But no one knows what the Italian violin makers used in their varnish．

How do you decide if someone is smart？One way is to find A the person's intelligence quotient（智商）, or IQ．
A 12﹣year﹣old girl recently took an IQ test．People found that her IQ is higher than Albert
Einstein's and Stephen Hawking's! Rajgauri Pawar，an Indian girl studying in England，scored 162 in the famous Mensa（门萨） IQ test，reported the Independent．Mensa，founded in England in 1946，is the largest and oldest high IQ society in the world．To become a Mensa member，you must have an IQ that falls in the top 2 percent of the population that take the tests．Hawking got a score of 160．Although Einstein never took the test，①Hawking's，his，said，as，would，same，experts，score，the，be．
However，what does having a high IQ mean？Will those with a high IQ definitely become the next Einstein or Hawking？
Not necessarily．Most IQ tests，including the Mensa one，test one's ability in math，language
and memory．However，these tests don't test abilities B knowing how to make things work，according to Richard Nisbett，a professor of psychology at the University of Michigan，US．It doesn't test your creativity or curiosity，either．Also，a lot of things can affect one's IQ score，including poverty，nutrition（营养）， stress and how familiar you are with the tests．
