[单项选择]As thick-skinned elected officials go, FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter is right up there with Bill Clinton. The chief of the Zurich based group that oversees World Cup soccer hasn’t been accused of groping any interns, but that’s about all he hasn’t been accused of. Vote buying, mismanagement, cronyism—and that’s just for starters. Yet the 66-year-old Swiss shows no sign of abandoning his campaign for a second four-year term.
Blatter, a geek of dispensing FIFA’S hundreds of million in annual revenue to inspire loyalty, even stands a good chance of reelection. At least he did. Since mid-March, he has seen a credible challenger emerge in Issa Hayatou, president of the African Football Confederation. Hayatou, a 55-year-old from Cameroon, leads a group of FIFA reformers that also includes FIFA Vice-President Lennart Johansson, a Swede who lost the presidential election to Blatter in 1998. These contenders’ mission: to end what they call the culture of secrecy and lack of accountabili
A. slight support.
B. high appreciation.
C. strong contempt.
D. reserved consent.
