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.  
Which of the following is NOT true?
选项 A、Washington was very popular with the press of his day.
B、Washington was persuaded to serve the second term.
C、Washington contributed much to the establishment of the United States.
D、Washington’s greatness is undoubted.
答案A
解析 见第二段第二句话，他遭受别人恶意的诋毁。
