Many American presidents were born in poor families.They spent their childhood in little wooden rooms.They got little education (教育)．Washington and Lincoln，for example，never went to school and they taught themselves.Lincoln once did jobs of a worker，shop­keeper and postman in his early years.

A large number of US presidents had experiences (經(jīng)歷) in the army.The two best known were Ulysses Grant and Dwight D．Eisenhower.Grant was a general (將軍) in the American Civil War and Eisenhower was a hero in the Second World War.It happened that they graduated (畢業(yè)) from the same school—West Point Military Academy (西點(diǎn)軍校)．One may be surprised to learn that both of them did not do well in the school.Eisenhower，for example，was once fined (罰款) because he broke the rules of the school.

The jobs for US presidents are tiring.He must keep an eye on anything important which happens both at home and abroad.Every day，a lot of work waits for him to do，and he has to make many important decisions.When Franklin Roosevelt was a child，he was once brought to visit President Taft.The old president said to him，“When you grow up，you should not be president.It’s a tiring job.”

A．did not have much knowledge in their work

B．had been workers，shop­keepers and postmen in their early years

B．None of the presidents except Taft could do the tiring job.

C．It is an important and tiring job to be a president in the US.

68．C　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第一段第三句可知，美國(guó)總統(tǒng)都受到很少的學(xué)校教育，故選C。A項(xiàng)文章并未提及；從文章的第一段可知，B項(xiàng)僅是個(gè)別總統(tǒng)的特征；D項(xiàng)與語(yǔ)意不符，他們不是“didn’t want to”，而是沒(méi)條件。

69．D　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第二段中第三句中Eisenhower was a hero in the Second World War可推出D項(xiàng)正確。

70．C　推理判斷題。最后一段所講的是總統(tǒng)工作的重要性，同時(shí)這份工作令人感到勞累，故C項(xiàng)正確。A、B項(xiàng)文中未提及；由最后一句可知D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。
