In this lesson, I want to talk about the history of The White House. At first, most Americans didn’t think there was anything particularly special about the White House. Few had ever seen it or had any idea what it looked like, and even the families who lived there found it completely inadequate. When it was built, the White House was the largest house in the country and it remained so until after the Civil War. But it served so many different purposes that little of it was available for the First Family to actually live in. The first floor, or "State Floor" was made up entirely of public rooms; and the president’s offices, which where staffed by as many as 30 employees, took half of the second floor up. The First Family had to get by with the eight or fewer second-floor rooms that were left. By Lincoln’s time, the situation was intolerable. The White House was open to visitors; office seekers, and the merely curious had no difficulty making their way upstairs from the official rooms on the first floor. Lincoln was so uncomfortable with the situation that he had a private corridor constructed. He also received a $ 20, 000 appropriation to improve the furnishings of the White House. The new furnishings did not last for more than a few years. When Lincoln was assassinated in 1865, the White House fell into disarray. No one really supervised the White House during’ the first five weeks.
选项
A、They didn’t care.
B、They hated it.
C、They loved it.
D、They have mixed feelings.
答案
A
解析
推理题。文中At first,most Americans didn’t think there was anything particularly special about the White House指出,开始时美国人没觉得白宫有什么特别的,接着第三句话Few had ever seen it or had any idea what it looked like…指出,很少有人见过白宫或知道白宫是什么样的…。这些都说明美国人开始时并不在乎白宫的存在。
