Unit 3
TEXT Ⅰ
Comprehension
Answers for reference：
A? 1? Being a pious Christian, she had a deep respect and boundless love for God, hoping that God would bless and save her whole family. Now that there was an opportunity for the soul of her nephew to be saved, she couldn't help feeling excited. She was looking forward to the special meeting for children, unable to hide her eagerness.
2? She told him that he could see and hear and feel Jesus in his soul when he was saved. Jesus would come to him and the child would see a light and feel different inside. Being a child of twelve, he believed her and waited in great earnest for Jesus to come into his life.
3? The writer purposely describes the members of the congregation in detail — the old black women wearing plaits, and weather?beaten old men; “weather?beaten” indicates their rich experience of life. Since they believed in God and they said the same things about Jesus, the child didn't think it could be untrue. The writer is suggesting that the power of other people to make a person do what they believe is right is often irresistible.
4? 1) It is first mentioned by the child's aunt in the second paragraph, as an idea presented by his aunt in the process of trying to convince him of the importance of being saved.
2) In the fifth one?sentence paragraph the child was waiting to see Jesus.
3) It is repeated in the seventh paragraph, when the child was still waiting and longing to see Jesus.
4) It it repeated again in the eleventh paragraph, this time as an indirect accusation of hypocrisy, since Jesus didn't punish Westley for telling a lie.
5) The last time it is repeated is in the last paragraph, when it ends up in Langston's self?revelation of and regret over his dishonesty, and it helps to express his distress about having been disillusioned.
