这篇短文主要讲述了14岁的Kian Hamer已经成为门萨最年轻的成员之一，但是他的父亲希望他脚踏实地。他需要一直努力学习。永远不要骄傲。

【1】数字计算。根据文中“Mensa has about 110,000 members all over the world. Only eight percent of the members are under 16.” 门萨在全世界有大约11万会员。只有8%的成员在16岁以下。Kian Hamer就是其中的一个。110,000*0.08=8800，根据题意，故选C。

【2】细节理解。a scientist一名科学家；a firefighter一名消防员；a genius 天才； a football player一名足球运动员。根据文中“he still wants to be a football player when he grows up.”可知，但他长大后仍然想成为一名足球运动员。故选D。

【3】词句猜测。根据下文“He needs to study hard all the time. Never be proud (骄傲). He always does well at school. He works really hard and always tries his best.” 他需要一直努力学习。永远不要骄傲。他在学校总是做得很好。他工作非常努力，总是尽力。可知上文中“keep his feet on the ground”的意思是“脚踏实地”。故选C。

【4】标题归纳。A. How to become a member of Mensa如何成为门萨的一个成员。One of the youngest members of Mensa门萨最年轻的成员之一；What the cleverest boy’s IQ is最聪明的男孩智商是多少； A football player一个足球运动员。通读整篇短文可知，这篇短文主要讲述了14岁的Kian Hamer已经成为门萨最年轻的成员之一，但是他的父亲希望他脚踏实地。他需要一直努力学习。永远不要骄傲。选项B符合题意。故选B。
