Read the passage and decide if the following statements are true (T) or false (F).
Ruth Lawrence made history yesterday when she came a clear first out of the 530 candidates who sat the entrance exam for St. Hugh’s College, Oxford. The all-women’s college is likely to offer her a scholarship. Ruth sat three three-hour papers - Algebra and Geometry, Calculus, Probability and Statistic; and Math, Pure and Applied. Ruth has never been to school. Her father, Harry Lawrence, a computer consultant, gave up his job when Ruth was five to educate her at home. Her mother, who also works in computers, is the family breadwinner. Besides Mathematics, Ruth also enjoyed English, History, Geography, Nature Study and other subjects. She began to read at four and started academic subjects at five. Because she does not go to school, Ruth has not mixed much with other children. She enjoys serious conversations with adults. She works harder than other children, and concentrates on what she enjoys, principally Mathematics. If she does well at the college, Ruth expects to take a further degree and eventually hopes to become a research professor in Mathematics – an ambition she may achieve while still in her teens.
