问题                         F. D. Roosevelt
    When President Franklin D. Roosevelt collapsed and died of a stroke in April 12, 1945, the nation went into a state of depression unknown since the death of Abraham Lincoln. Roosevelt had become inseparably linked with a series of national crises—in his case the Great Depression and World World War II . And like Lincoln, Roosevelt was viewed as a savior, a man who had redeemed his people. Put simply, F. D. Roosevelt enjoyed the elusive charisma (引起 大众景仰的领袖特质)so prized but politicians. Blessed with enormous self-confidence and an ingratiating personality, he inspired tremendous loyalty among most Americans. They loved him and put him in the White House on four separate occasions 1932, 1936, 1940, and 1944. But like all charismatic leaders, Roosevelt also generated tremendous hostility in some circles, particularly in corporate boardroom and the parlors of the well-to-do (富人的会客厅). They viewed him as a "traitor to his class", a politician so seduced by power (受权势诱惑) that he posed a threat to property and the social order.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt was a complicated man, a beloved acquaintance of thousands but an intimate of very few. Bon rich and raised in pampered splendor (优越受宠的环境), he nevertheless led a virtual revolution in public policy, giving ethnic minorities, labor unions, and poor people their first taste of influence at federal level. Although Roosevelt inspired a legion of intellectuals to invest their energies in public service, he was not an innovative thinker himself. He preferred the give-and-take of politics, and the inherent excitement of its risks, to the intricate nuts and bolts of social and economic policy. His public outward character was overwhelming, but there was also a private side to his life that the American people understood only superficially. During the Summer of 1921, little more than a decade before he became president, Roosevelt contracted polio, or infantile paralysis, a disease that crippled him for the rest of his life.
Franklin liked complicated social and economic policy better than anything else.
选项 A、Right
