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?

正确答案: C

有两道问题请教

i'm still confused about these questions even after i refer to the explanation.please help me.
1  In Malsenia sales of classical records are soaring.The buyers responsible for this boom are quite new to classical music and were drawn to it either by classical scores from television commercials or by theme tunes introducing major sports events on television.Audiences at classical concerts,however,are continually shrinking in Malsenia.It can conclude from this that the new Malsenia Concerts to classical music,having initially experienced this music as recorded music,are most comfortable with classical music as recorded music and really have no desire to hear live performances.
The arguement assumes which one of the following?
a, To sell well in Malsenia, a classical record must include at least one piece familiar from television.
b, At least some of the new Malsenia buyers of classical records have available to them the coupon of attending classical concerts.
c, The number of classical concerts performed in Malsenia has not decreased in response to smaller audiences.
d, The classical records available in Malsenia are for the most part not recordings of actual public concerts.
e, Classical concerts in Malsenia are not limited to music that is really available on recordings.

a  The toys in cereal boxes have changed partly because the economic conditions of our society have improved.
b  The influence of promotion gimmickson 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 childred who played with them.

1. 应该是D. 原文用一个原因解释了一种现象, assumption就是不是另一个原因造成了此现象. 这也是典型的GMAT假设题目. 如果D取非成立, 那么人们买的record已经是现场的录音, 人们就没必要再去听音乐会了.

其实这个答案也不是最好的. 谁说听了录音就不再听现场了? 但是其它选项都不正确, 所以只能选D, 姑且说是common sense吧.

我试试。

题干说:People are most comfortable with classical music as recorded music and really have no desire to hear live performances==>audiences at classical concerts,however,are continually shrinking in malsenia

而C的答案就是排除他因。

D无关,即使有关,取非后也不能否定结论。因为 是for the most part。

[原创] 回Jeremy

以下是引用joywzy在2003-5-12 23:48:00的发言:

D好象不是无关。
原文提出一个现象:
recorded class music的人多了,听class music live performance 的人少了
提出解释:因为大家喜欢听recorded class music,不喜欢看class music live performance
assumption就是其他能导致结论的理由不成立。
那么能导致结论的其他理由是:
C. 举办的演唱会少了,所以看的人肯定少了。
D. 大多数recored class music就是演唱会的录音。但是D不能一定推出看演唱会的人肯定少,也许大家更愿意看演唱会呢?
所以D不是asumption...
我觉得此题的关键是找出一个最直接的理由。。D还需要加入一些ASSUMPTION才能使结论成立。
