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……

delayed gratification就是延迟享乐，延迟满足的意思，是一个心理

学词条。下面这段话你肯定读过：

提出“情绪商”的美国著名心理学家戈尔曼曾做过一个“延迟满足”的实验，

找了一批四岁孩子，给他们每人一块糖，并告诉他们若能等主持人回来再

吃这块糖，则还能吃到第二块糖。戈尔曼悄悄观察，发现有的孩子只等了一

会儿便不耐烦，迫不急待地把糖塞进了嘴里；而有的孩子则很有耐心，而且

很有办法，想出作游戏啦、讲故事之类种种方式拖延时间，分散注意力，最

终坚持到主持人回来，得到了第二块糖。戈尔曼又对这批孩子14岁时和进入

工作岗位后的表现进行了跟踪调查，发现晚吃糖的孩子数学和语文成绩比早

吃糖的平均高出120分，而且意志坚强，经得起困难和挫折，更容易取得成

功。这个实验说明，要取得大的成绩就不能急功近利，不能为当前名利所诱

惑，能按社会需要不怕挫折、坚持不懈奋斗是取得成就的重要因素。


希望能帮上忙~嘿嘿
