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. 答案是C,这题的意思偶压根就没看明白？请高手指点？C选项怎么样就取非消弱了呢？？谢谢作者: bitieming 时间: 2011-8-6 16:58
作者论点为咱们这个社会的小孩们，不像以前一样，已经领悟不到working for later pleasure的精神了，理由是以前的玩具都需要拼装，而现在的玩具都是组装好的。 C的意思是拼装玩具的孩子跟玩这个玩具的孩子必须是同一个人。 因为即使以前的玩具需要拼装，有可能都是大人给小孩子拼装好了让小孩去玩，则作者的论据就无法站稳脚跟，因为这样一来以前的小孩也没领悟到什么working for later pleasure的精神，何谈现在的就不如那时的。
