Question

How many of us have heard that question, "Where was GOD when the World Trade Center(世贸中心) and the Pentagon(五角大楼) were attacked?" Well, I know where my GOD was the morning of September 11, 2001, and He was very busy!

He was trying to discourage anyone from taking these flights. Those four flights together held over 1000 passengers and there were only 266 aboard.

He was on 4 commercial flights giving frightened passengers the ability to stay calm. Not one of the family members who were called by a loved one on one of the hijacked(被劫持的) planes said that passengers were screaming in the background. On one of the flights he was giving strength to passengers to try to overtake the hijackers.

He was busy trying to create obstacles(阻碍) for employees at the World Trade Center. After all, only around 20,000 were at the towers when the first jet hit. Since the buildings held over 50,000 workers, this was a Miracle in itself. How many of the people who were employed at the World Trade Center told the media that they were late for work or they had traffic delays.

He was holding up 2-110 story buildings so that 2/3 of the workers could get out. I was so amazed that the top of the towers didn't fall when the jets crashed. And when they did fall, GOD made them fall inward, as many more lives would have been lost.

So when anyone asks, "Where was your GOD on September 11," you can say "everywhere"! And yes, although this is without a doubt the worst thing I have seen in my life, I see God's miracles in every bit of it. I can't imagine going through such a difficult time and not believing in GOD – life would be hopeless. So shines a good deed in a weary world!

1.

2.根据第二段中“Those four flights together held over 1000 passengers and there were only 266 aboard”四架航班加一起可容纳超过1000名乘客，而当时只有266人登机，由此可知是四架飞机。因此A错误；根据第三段第一句“He was on 4 commercial flights giving frightened passengers the ability to stay calm.”他4商业航班上给吓坏了乘客保持冷静的能力，由此可知乘客在一开始是害怕的。因此B错误；根据第四段最后一句“ How many of the people who were employed at the World Trade Center told the media that they were late for work or they had traffic delays.”有多少的人在世界贸易中心告诉媒体,他们迟到了工作或交通延误。可知C正确；根据第五段最后一句“And when they did fall, GOD made them fall inward, as many more lives would have been lost”当他们下降,上帝让他们向内侧落下,原本会有更多的生命会被夺取，可知许多人获救了，因此D错误。故选C。
