Originally the White House was gray and was called the Presidential Palace. It was built from 1792 to 1800. At this time, the city of Washington itself was being built. It was to be the nation's new capital city. George Washington, the first President, and Pierre Charles L'Enfant, a French engineer, chose the place for the new city. L'Enfant then planned the city. The President's home was an important part of the plan.
A contest was held to pick a design for the President's home. An architect named James Hoban won. He designed a large three-story house of gray stone.
President Washington never lived in the Presidential Palace. The first President to live there was John Adams, the second President of the United States, and his wife. Mrs. Adams did not really like her new house. In her letters, she often complained about the cold. Fifty fireplaces were not enough to keep the house warm.
In 1812 the United States and Britain went to war. In 1814 the British invaded Washington. They burned many buildings, including the Presidential Palace.
After the war James Hoban, the original architect, partially rebuilt the President's home. To cover the marks of the fire, the building was painted white. Before long it became known as the White House.
The White House is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United States. Every year more than 1. 5 million visitors go through the five rooms that are open to the public.
The White House was built in Washington______.
A．because a French engineer was invited to design it
B．because President George Washington liked to live in it
C．because the British invaders lived in it in 1812—1814
D．because it was to be the nation's capital city
Section D
听力原文： If this is a "Mandela moment" for America, there were—perhaps inevitably—few specific clues in Barack Obama's victory speech as to how that will work its way through on to the world stage. But for those who have objected to American unilateralism during the Bush years there was the commitment to listening, the promise—in Mr. 0bama's words—of a new dawn of American leadership, coupled with the pledge to defeat those who "would tear this world down".
Among the reaction from Europe, President Sarkozy said the American people had chosen "change, openness and optimism". And the European Commission president, Jose Manuel Barroso, said "we need a new deal for a new world".
Iraq's foreign minister was quick to tell Mr Obama that there was "a great deal at stake" in Iraq and he did not foresee a quick US disengagement, while President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan said he hoped the election would bring peace, life and prosperity to his country.
Managing such expectations abroad, as well as at home, will clearly be one of Mr. Obama's biggest challenges.

听力原文：M: Hi, Jane. How is your vacation？
W: Terrific! I went to Washington D. C. to visit my cousin. I saw the Jefferson Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, the Smithsonian Institution, and the White House.
M: I've never been to Washington. What did you like best？
W: Oh, the White House. Do you know that it's been the official home of the presidents since 1800？ And every president except George Washington has lived in it.
M: I didn't know it was that old. Is it really as nice as everyone says？
W: It's only a two-storied building of stone. But its dignity impressed me. It used to be called the president's house. But it was named the White House after the British burned it in the war of 1812. It had to be repainted, of course.
M: I remember now. The president then was James Madison. And his wife Dolly ran out of the burning building carrying the portrait of Washington.
W: Yes, that's right. It's hanging in the East Room now.
M: How big is the White House？
W: It's big--32 rooms inside the White House and 8 acres outside. It has to be painted every four years.
M: How much were you allowed to see？
W: Not very much. Only 6 of the rooms are open to the public. It's a popular tour, and there is always a line of people waiting. They want to look at their property, I guess.
M: Their property？
W: Sure. The White House is owned by the people of the United States. We elect the leaders who live in R.
M: But can just anyone go inside？
W: Of course.Anyone can see our president's home.
