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 he 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 societ 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  art of the pleasure of any toy lies in putting the toy together before playing withit.

E  Today's children do no expect a single toy to provide pleasure for a long period of time.

我怎么看也不是C啊。。。

这道题在陈向东那本逻辑推理的书里的吧？当时我也不是很明白~我的理解是：作者提出了先工作后享乐的这么一个观念不再在孩子身上延续这么一个观点。他的论据就是举了这么个例子：以前的孩子要玩玩具必须从盒子里拿出来花一番心思去拼装，这一过程就相当于先工作后享乐。而现在玩具拿出来就是完整的了！那么这个例子要能够支持作者的结论，前提是以前那个拼装玩具的孩子就是后来玩那个玩具的那个孩子。不然这个例子就无法对应先工作后享乐了！

应该是C。
对assumption的题目取非即可。
如果C选项不成立，比如以前的散装玩具是由家长拼好再给孩子玩儿的，那么与现在直接拼好给孩子玩儿并没有本质区别，所以就不能支持作者的论点。
所以C是assumption。
