3. Read the text and choose the right option.

On Monday, August 26th, over 1,500 freshmen made their way to Texas Christian University beautiful campus for the first day of a four-year journey, one from where they will all graduate as adults. The only exception – Carson Huey who will not even have the right to drive when he graduates because he happens to be only eleven years old!

What’s even more amazing is that the University’s youngest student ever, was only ten years old when he was accepted. And while it may surprise all of us, it doesn’t seem to shock Carson or his family. His mother says she realised that she may have a unique child when the young boy started reading chapter books at the age of two. By three the homeschooled genius had mastered basic math concepts like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

When he turned five, his mother decided to enroll him in a private school. But instead of heading to kindergarten he went straight to the eighth grade. By the age of ten, the school as well as Carson’s mother decided that he may be ready for University.

As you have probably guessed, the young boy who dreams of becoming a quantum physicist and earning his PhD before he turns 20, is not wasting this opportunity with easy classes. His schedule for the first semester includes Maths, Physics, History and Religion. The young boy, who speaks almost fluent Mandarin Chinese and is a self-taught pianist, has also joined some clubs. And in case you think that Carson is all work and no play, the boy loves to hang out with his friends and play basketball and football.
