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. （C）

E.       Today's children do not expect a single toy to provide pleasure for a long period of time.

题干：在以前是通过将玩具分块放在cereal boxes里来培养孩子的delayed gratification，现在不这么做了，所以不能培养孩子的delayed gratification了。

前提就是：是同样的孩子通过不停收集cereal boxes里的玩具，最终凑齐了整个玩具。

如果不是这样，例如大家把不同的部分凑在一起玩，那就没办法培养delayed gratification了。

不知道我说明白没有。怀念小时候吃酸酸粉，里面的小兵器，那个时候收集了很多，我想就是题目中所说的delayed gratification吧。
