单项选择题
Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:
Ernest Hemingway wrote a short story called"The Captal of the World."In it he tells about a Spanish father who wants to reconcile(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 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 expresion"no strings attached"may go back to ancient times when documents were weittnen on parchment(羊皮卷)that were rolled up and secured with a string.
The Babylonian Talmud(犹太法典)tells of a man who gives his wife a bill of diverce on such a partchment,but holds noto the string so that he can snatch it back,should he choose to do so.
The divorce,therefore,is not considered valid since he will not give it freely.Similarly,love,forgivenses or friendship that is given with strings attached are not valid,since they can be snatched back at any time.
A.true love should be unconditional
B.family memebers should learn to forgive each other
C.successful marriage requires complete freedom
D.human emotions should not be restricted
