When I was a child in Sunday school, I would ask searching questions like "Angels can fly up in heaven, but how do clouds hold up pianos?" and get the same puzzling response about how that was not important, what was important was that Jesus died for our sins and if we accepted him as our savior, when we died, we would go to heaven, where we’d get everything we wanted. Some children in my class wondered why anyone would hang on a cross with nails stuck through his hands to help anyone else; I wondered how Santa Claus knew what I wanted for Christmas, even though I never wrote him a letter. Maybe he had a tape recorder hidden in every chimney in the world.
This literal-mindedness has stuck with me; one result of it is that I am unable to believe in God. Most of the other atheists I know seem to feel freed or proud of their unbelief, as if they’ve cleverly refused to be sold snake oil. My husband, who was reared in a devout Catholic family and served as an altar boy, is also firmly grounded on this earth. He doesn’t even have the desire to believe. So other than baptizing our son to reassure our families, we’ve skated over the issue of faith.
Some people believe faith is a gift; for others, it’s a choice, a matter of spiritual discipline. I have a friend who was reared to believe, and he does. But his faith has wavered. He has struggled to hang onto it and to pass it along to his children. Another friend of mine never goes to church because she’s a single mother who doesn’t have the gas money. But she once told me about a day when she was washing oranges as the sun streamed onto them. As she peeled one, the smell rose to her face, and she felt she received the Holy Spirit. "He sank into my bones," she recounted. "I lifted my palms upward, feeling filled with love."
Being no theologian, and not even a believer, I am not in a position to offer up theories, but mine is this: people who receive faith directly, as a spontaneous combustion of the soul, have fewer questions. They have been sparked with a faith that is more unshakable than that of those who have been taught.
选项
A、the author was a Sunday school boy.
B、the author used to be puzzled at many things.
C、the school didn’t teach the children enough knowledge.
D、tape recorders were popular in daily life.
答案
B
解析
细节题。文章第一段中提到作者小时候经常提出种种问题,并对很多事感到迷惑,例如"天使能在天上飞,但云怎么撑得住钢琴呢?圣诞老人怎么知道我想要的圣诞礼物"等等,由此可知"作者过去常常对很多事情感到困惑不解"符合文意。"作者是一个礼拜学校的男孩",由文章第二段提到的作者的丈夫可知该项不正确;"学校没有教给孩子们足够的知识"未在文中提及;"录音机在日常生活中很普遍",文中只是提及作者猜想圣诞老人可能在每家都放置了一个录音机,并不能由此判断出录音机的使用很普遍,所以该项也不正确。
