单选题 Thomas Jefferson was the first President to take office in the new capital, Washington D. C. Although Washington was a new city, it was already familiar to president Jefferson. In fact, Jefferson had helped plan the capital' s streets and public buildings. Besides being a city planner, the new President was a writer, a scientist, and the inventor of several tools.
Jefferson moved into the Presidential Palace after he took office. The Palace was more than a home, it had offices for the President and some other men of the government. It also had dining and reception rooms, where the President could receive his guests. However, president Jefferson did not give many formal parties. This was partly be cause there was no First Lady; his wife died in 1782. It was also be cause Jefferson liked to live in a simple way. He once showed up for an important meeting wearing old clothes and worn slippers! Neither Washington nor Adams would ever have dressed like that.
Jefferson was different from the first two Presidents in other ways, too. He didn't agree with them about how the country should be run, and about what part a President should play in running it.
