His father was a shipwright, ship owner and contractor, while his mother, Agnes Muirhead, came from a distinguished family and was well educated.

Watt traveled to London to study instrument-making for a year, then returned to Scotland – to Glasgow – intent on setting up his own instrument-making business. However, because he had not served at least seven years as an apprentice, the Glasgow Guild of Hammermen (any artisans using hammers) blocked his application, despite there being no other mathematical instrument makers in Scotland.In 1764, Watt married his cousin Margaret Miller, with whom he had five children, two of whom lived to adulthood.

Page 14: de thi vao lop 10

nominal gross domestic product (US$16.8 trillion in 2007). The EU has developed a single market through a standardised system of laws which applies in all member states, guaranteeing the freedom of movement of people, goods, services and capital. It maintains a common trade policy, agricultural and fisheries policies, and a regional development policy. Fifteen member states have adopted a common currency, the euro. It has developed a role in foreign policy, representing its members in the World Trade Organisation, at G8 summits and at the United Nations. Twenty-one EU countries are members of NATO. It has developed a role in justice and home affairs, including the abolition of passport control between many member states under the Schengen Agreement. The EU operates through a hybrid system of intergovernmentalism and supranationalism. In certain areas it depends upon agreement between the member states. However, it also has supranational bodies, able to make decisions without the agreement of members. Important institutions and bodies of the EU include the European Commission, the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union, the European Council, the European Court of Justice and the European Central Bank. EU citizens elect the Parliament every five years.The EU traces its origins to the European Coal and Steel Community formed among six countries in 1951 and the Treaty of Rome in 1957. Since then the EU has grown in size through the accession of new member states and has increased its powers by the addition of new policy areas to its remit.a) The following statements are true (T) or false (F):1. ______There are only 12 of 27 EU countries to be members of NATO.2. ______ The EU’s operation depends on 8 states.3. ______ The EU citizens elect the Parliament every five years.4. ______ The EU has not admitted any countries since 1951.5.______  The EU abolished passport control between many member states under the Schengen Agreement. b)   Choose the best answer A, B, C or D:6.   How many member states does the European Union have?A. seventeen           B. twenty four          C. twenty seven          D. seven7.   When was the European Union established?      A. 1903                  A. 1996                   C. 1999                      D. 1993 8.   The population of the EU is ___________.A. 500 million         B. 500 billion           C. 500 thousand         D. 50 billion9.   How many countries have adopted a common currency, the euro?A. five                     B. twenty four          C. fifteen                     D. fifty10.
