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?
The toys in cereal boxes have changed partly because the economic conditions of our society have improved.
The influence of promotion gimmicks on the economic behavior of our society has increased over the years.
The toys that used to come in cereal boxes were put together by the same children who played with them.
Part of the pleasure of any toy lie in putting the toy together before playing with it.
Today's children do not expect a single toy to provide pleasure for a long period of time.
D错误原因:
文章讨论的是working now for later pleasure,
D选项讨论的是Part of the PLEASURE of any toy lie in putting the toy together BEFORE playing with it.
D错的原因在于any!它偷换了比较的对象。原文比较的是那些(过去需要组装才能玩的玩具)和(同类但现在不需要组装就直接能玩的玩具)。用any等于扩大了比较对象的范围,把过去不需要组装就能玩的玩具也包含进去了。这不符合逻辑啊,比如公仔,过去和现在都是整个出售的,不存在过去先组装再玩 -- 先劳动后享乐 -- 的体验啊。
