第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题：每小题2.5分，满分50分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

In 1978, Bill Clinton began serving his first of five years as Governor of Arkansas. In 1980, Hillary Clinton gave birth to their first daughter, Chelsea Clinton. As the First Lady of Arkansas, she pursued many causes working for children, education and families. She also wrote a weekly newspaper column where she discussed political and social issues.

Bill Clinton ran for President in 1992. Hillary Clinton took an active part in her husband’s election with her sharp tongue. Her “no nonsense” manner made Hillary Clinton an easy target for controversy. It became quickly evident that she was not going to stand in the shadow of anyone.

Immediately, Hillary Clinton devoted herself to healthcare reform. Her work drew intense criticism, and her first efforts were eventually given up. Hillary did, however, create the Children’s Health Insurance Program in 1997.

The program was considered to be her most successful achievement as First Lady. Regardless of whether people agreed with her, Hillary was doing the work that she felt needed to be done. She kept an office in the White House and attended meetings when her husband was addressing issues that she was working on. She stayed in the spotlight while her husband served as President.

Not everyone appreciated Hillary’s involvement. In 1993, it was rumored that she had illegally profited from a development in the Ozarks called “Whitewater”, for which she was charged in the court. In 1998, Bill Clinton admitted having an affair with a White House intern（实习生）named Monica Lewinsky. Hillary stood behind her husband and supported him.
