实在不明白这个题是什么意思，论坛里搜索了很久也没看到，请哪位高手帮忙看下！谢谢了！！
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.

这道题阐述的是先劳后获的理念在当今的儿童教育中已经不那么被重视。然后举了个例子来证明，早先还重视先劳后获的时候，儿童的玩具都需要花一些力气从多个盒子中一个个找到部件然后组装起来才能玩，而现在则是直接放在了同一个盒子中。

这题的假设就是认为之前那个找部件的过程是由那玩具的那位小孩自己完成的，否则如果是大人帮忙完成的组装，那么对儿童来说这前后两种情况并没有区别。选C。

感谢感谢！那个delayed gratification就是先劳后获么，我不知道这个具体含义，所以觉得整个题干读起来前后的逻辑联系看不出来……
