不懂这道题的A哪里错了


Q22:

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。C取非后可以削弱，明白。可是A是用什么方法排除的呢？

怪題，(C)暗示小孩耐心拼裝後玩玩具即原文的先苦後甘論述。

(A) partly because the economic conditions of our society have improved，和原文shape economic behavior無關，取非也不知道可以反駁什麼。

You work first, then you enjoy the joy of your work later.

You put the toy togehter, then you enjoy the joy of your work (the assembled toy) later.

Hence C has to be the assumption.

A is out of scope of the discussion since we only care about the assemble part, not the kind of toys inside.

题的最后一句没看懂...弱弱的问一句什么叫做come from the boxes whole？

The toys come out of the box in a whole piece, assembled.  So users do not need to assemble them.
