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 President 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 even 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.
Washington’s administration had been a________.

选项 A、failure
B、success
C、good example followed by other presidents
D、miracle

答案B

解析 从第一段的第二句中“If his administration had been a failure,there would have been no United States.”可推理出华盛顿的行政管理是成功的。
