单项选择题
Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:
Ernest Hermingway wrote a short story called"The Capital of the World."In it he tells about a Spanish father who wants to recencils(和解)with his son who has run away to Madrid.In order to locate the boy he takes out this ad in the newspaper;"Paco,meet me at Hotel Montana at noon on Tuseday.All is forgiven.Love,Papa."
Paco is a common name is Spain, and when the father goes to the aquare he finds 800 young men named Paco waiting for their fathers.
What drew them to the hotel?As Hemingway tells it,it was the words"All is forgiven."The father did not say,"All WILL BE forgiven IF you do this or that."Not,"All WILL BE forgiven WHEN you do such and such."He simply says,"All is forgiven."No strings attached.
And that's the hard part-un-attaching the strings. The origin of the expression"no strings attached"may go back to ancient times when documents were written on parchment(羊皮卷)that were rolled up and seceured with a string.
The Babylonian Talmud(犹太法典)tells of a man who gives his wife a bill of divorce on such a parchment, but holds onto the string so that he can santch it bcak,should he choose to do so.The divorce,therefore,is not considered valid since he will not give it freely.Similarly,love,forgiveness or friendship that is given with strings attached are not valid,since they can be snatched back at any time.
