听力原文: Every student of American history knows that George Washington, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson were the first three Presidents of the United States, but what else do they know about these interesting men? George Washington was a quiet man. He liked to hunt and fish. He liked to give parties, and he also liked to go to bed early. His parties always ended at 9:00 p.m. After he was retired, he lived on his farm.
John Adams was a bright and serious man. He liked to study law and history. After he was retired, he returned to his home in Boston. He liked to write about politics. He wrote many famous letters to the next president, Thomas Jefferson.
Thomas Jefferson was a very talented man. In some ways he was like George Washington. He liked living on a farm, and he liked riding horses and hunting. He had other interests, too. He liked to play the violin, liked to sing, and liked speaking foreign languages. After he was retired, he returned to one of his other interests, designing the buildings for the University of Virginia.

听力原文: 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 behavior. in society, and was reading English literature.
At school he seemed only to have been interested in mathematics. In fact his formal education was surprisingly brief and incomplete. Unlike other young Virginian gentlemen of that day, he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginian capital ot Williamsburg. In terms of formal training then, Washington contrasts sharply with som 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 nothing 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.
