问题     Who was the best president? That we can even ask the question
is thanks to George Washington who shaped the role on his own 【M1】______
battle-hewn hands. Elected unanimously, he assured the job 【M2】______
reluctantly and batted away efforts to make him a king. His humility
ensured the institution was built to the last. 【M3】______
    It would have been easy for the first boss of a new government
to have grown tipsy with power. So after years of fighting against 【M4】______
hunger and defeated as a revolutionary hero on the battlefield, 【M5】______
Washington was not seduced by pomp. He rejected an array of
flowery titles, preferring the simplicity of Mr. President. Not only
did he drone on at the lectern, but he swiftly appointed an 【M6】______
ideologically balanced cabinet of advisers, including Jefferson and
Alexander Hamilton. Mindful of precedent, he personally ensured
his executive power is checked by the legislative and judicial 【M7】______
branches of government.
    After decades of public service, Washington pined for a quiet
life at home in Virginia, and hoped to retire after one four-year term
in office. He succumbed to take a second term in the interests of 【M8】______
national unity, but was then glad to hand over the reins to his
electing successor, John Adams. 【M9】______
    Few American children are spared some malarkey about a
young George Washington who cannot tell a lie. These tales are 【M10】______
largely invented to explain Washington’s integrity as an adult.
America’s first president was not a witty intellectual or a scintillating
orator, but he was uniquely honorable at a vulnerable time for the
nascent republic. [br] 【M10】
