Some of the notebooks George Washington kept as a young man are still in existence. They show that he was learning Latin, was very interested in the basics of good behaviour in society, and was reading English literature.
At school he seems only to have been interested in mathematics. In fact his formal education was surprisingly brief for a gentleman, and incomplete. For unlike other young Virginian gentlemen of that day, he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginian capital of Williamsburg. In terms of formal training then, Washington contrasts sharply with some other early American Presidents such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In later years, Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training. He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress, or on any subject that had not to do with everyday, practical matters. And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders, he did not visit the country he admired so much. Thus, unlike Jefferson and Adams, he never reached Europe.
What reason does the author give for Washington not going to college?
A. His family could not afford it.
B. A college education was rather uncommon in his times.
C. He didn't like the young Virginian gentlemen who went to college.
D. The author doesn't give any reason.
Henry is the【69】of strict parents who were totally opposed to war. He was never allowed toy soldiers【70】a boy, never allowed guns.
Henry grew up and went into the army, becoming a first-class soldier and【71】all sorts of military honors in a rather fierce unit. He became the opposite in【72】way of what his parents might have expected【73】their son. And yet there is a gentleness about Henry which shows a【74】personality. There is a sympathetic element about the man which I can see【75】have come from his family. In【76】of doing things differently from our parents, a lot of the spirit gets passed on.
Parents in all conscience have to【77】their children what they believe to be right. Perhaps the【78】way to teach one's child gentleness is【79】forbid toy guns, but to be gentle in one's【80】everyday life.
