Task 1
Washington was the first city in history to be created solely for the purpose of governing. Following the Revolution, members of Congress(国会) had hotly debated the question of a permanent home for themselves and for other departments. In 1790, George Washington was asked to select a site for the newly designed federal district. Not much to anyone’s surprise but to the disappointment of many, he chose a piece of land on the banks of the Potomac River a few miles upstream from his beloved plantation(种植园) Mount Vernon.
The District of Columbia (Washington, D. C.) was taken in part from Virginia and in part from Maryland. At the time it was laid out, its hundred square miles consisted of gently rolling hills with heavy woods, a number of streams and much land along the Potomac River. There is now a section of Washington that is commonly referred to as Foggy Bottom; that section had the same nickname (绰号) a hundred and eight years ago. Two port cities, Alexandria and Georgetown, lied within sight of the new capital. So it was easy to go by ship to the most important cities of the new nation from the new capital---Charlestown, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Portsmouth and also to the far-off ports of English and the European Continent.
