The sense of delayed gratification, of working now for later pleasure, has helped shape the economic behavior of our society. However, that sense is no longer nurtured as consistently in our children as it once was. For example, it used to take a bit of patience to put together the toys that children got in cereal boxes; now the toys come from the boxes whole.

Which of the following is an assumption of the passage above?

A.
The toys in cereal boxes have changed partly because the economic conditions of our society have improved.
B.
The influence of promotion gimmicks on the economic behavior of our society has increased over the years.
C.
The toys that used to come in cereal boxes were put together by the same children who played with them.
D.
Part of the pleasure of any toy lie in putting the toy together before playing with it.
E.
Today's children do not expect a single toy to provide pleasure for a long period of time.

看第二遍了，这个题的前提和结论还没分清？ NN指点

根据前提：一个人有这种sense的，后来再work才能有pleasure。C选项也是这个意思：一开始整理玩具的，必须后来玩的也是这群孩子，这群孩子才能产生pleasure。

一起探讨吧：

前提：The sense of delayed gratification, of working now for later pleasure, has helped shape the economic behavior of our society.

推理：For example, it used to take a bit of patience to put together the toys that children got in cereal boxes; now the toys come from the boxes whole.

结论：However, that sense is no longer nurtured as consistently in our children as it once was.

我同意你对C选项的解释，但是前提推理结论那个部分我有点不同意见。

其实问前提，就是因为推理实际是有问题，是缺失了前提的，才会问你这个句子要补充一个什么前提才能推理正确。

结论：所以，证明了 ”先努力后享受“已经不再灌输给小孩子了。

所以前提实际是隐含的，就是能将过去玩玩具是需要人先组装的 ==> 过去小孩子懂得”先努力后享受“ 这两个联系起来的因素

也就是C说的，你至少要证明，过的那些玩具确实是玩的人自己努力组装的，才能得出过去小孩子懂得”先努力后享受“这个结论。
