问题     There isn’t any question about Washington’s greatness. If his administration had been a failure, there would have been no United States. He had all the background that caused him to know how to make it work, because he had worked under the Continental Congress. Some presidents have limited their roles to being administrators of the laws without being leaders. But Washington was both a great administrator and a great leader.  
    I guess, in fact, that the only anti-Washington thing I can say is that he made a mistake when he established the precedent of the two-term Presidency, and even there he had a good personal reason for wanting that, at least for himself. He was attacked viciously by the press of his day, he was called so many terrible things that he told friends ever during his first term that he wasn’t going to run again. But Thomas Jefferson and James Madison and Alexander Hamilton persuaded him to go ahead and serve a second term and finally he did. After he’d gotten through his second term, though, he made up his mind that he just wouldn’t take it any more, and he quit.  
What’s the author’s attitude toward Washington’s two-term Presidency?
选项 A、He thinks Washington made a mistake by doing so.
B、He thinks that Washington had a good personal reason for doing so.
C、He thinks that Washington was too selfish in doing so.
D、Both A and B
答案D
