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.    art 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.

D?

蒙小灰

我觉得题目的结论说delayed gratification no longer nurtured，前提就是gratification确实被delay了，如果把娃娃放一起和玩娃娃的不是同一人，那就不存在delay了~

答案是C 啊```怎么分析呢···

我来试试 觉得这题挺tricky的
working now for later pleasure，是其讨论的中心，孩子玩具的例子是为了说明这个。
working now:children put the toys together
for later pleasure：children play with the toys (enjoy what they have built up)
那么只有玩玩具的人正是组装玩具的人，玩的人才能享受到later pleasure。所以C就是assumption。
现在的玩具都是整装好的，所以就没法working now for later pleasure了，所以that sense is no longer nurtured as consistently in our children as it once was
不知道您能明白不

C啦。。。 得搞清楚以前的孩子是给自己装玩具 否则不叫“自己动手，丰衣足食”

典型的A可行或A有意义！！如果孩子不自己动手组装，那么就谈不上delayed gratification，所以整个命题就被削弱了
