The best title for the passage is _. A. The Purpose of Reading B. The Importance of Reading C. The Importance of Language Ability D. The Importance of Reading Ability本题答案：B 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 incomplete for a gentleman. For unlike other Virginian gentlemen of that day, he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginian capital of Williamsburg. Washington had less formal training than some other early American presidents such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In later years, Washington probably regretted his lack of such 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 he could not speak directly to French leaders. He did not visit the country he admired so much. Thus unlike Jefferson and Adams, he never reached Europe.11.
