Read the following passage, then decide whether the following statements are true (T), false (f), or no information (NI).
The great English scientist Isaac Newton, whose theory of gravitation is well-known throughout the world, was born in the little village Woolthorpe, not far from his own town of Cambridge, on December 25th, 1642. His father was a farmer who died when Newton was fourteen years old. His mother, uncle and grandmother took care of him.
When still young, Newton was more of a mechanic than a scholar. His neighbors thought he would probably become a well-know clockmaker, because he had already made a clock his neighbours had never heard of before. It worked by water. Besides the water clock Newton also made a sundial. When he grew older, he became interested in mathematics and physics. His first physical experiment was carried out in 1658, when he was 16 years old. On June 5th, 1661 Newton entered the University of Cambridge where he studied mathematics and soon became famous at the age of 21.
When Newton was 22 years old, he began studying the theory of gravitation. In 1669 he was appointed professor and began giving lectures on mathematics at Cambridge. Isaac Newton died in 1727 at the age of 85.
