正确答案：
C:The toys that used to come in cereal boxes were put together by the same children who played with them.
这题重点是，现在是不是还nurture children的耐心。先工作（对应先装玩具）后享受快乐（对应后玩玩具），所以assumption是以前的孩子会先装再玩，C正确
a变化了，部分是因为经济条件提高了，无关。
b推销手段的影响，无关
d的any toy太关注例子本身，不服务于观点，无关。而且，与前提矛盾，前提中说的是为了后面能享乐而先工作，潜在意思是工作部分是痛苦的，但为了后面能享乐不得不做。
e一个玩具带来长期的快乐，无关
