Impatience has been around for a long time. There is nothing new about people losing their patience while stuck in traffic or waiting in line. But some experts believe that people are less patient today than in the past.
Some analysts suggest that in recent years many people are less patient because of technology. They suggest that "digital technology, from cellphones to email to iPads, is changing our lives. The instant results we get from this technology have in turn increased our appetite for instant satisfaction in other aspects of our lives.
Psychologist Jennifer Hartstein makes some observations. She explains that "we have become an immediate satisfaction culture, and we expect things to move quickly, efficiently and in the way we want. When that doesn’ t happen, we tend to become increasingly frustrated and unsatisfied. "
Some believe that e-mail is losing popularity and could soon become outdated. Why? Because many people who send messages do not have the patience to wait hours, or even minutes, for a response. Also, with e-mails, as with letter writing, introductory and concluding greetings are often expected. But many people consider such formalities (客套) to be boring and time-consuming. They prefer instant messaging. Many people do not take the time to proofread what they put in writing. As a result, letters and e-mails contain numerous grammatical and typographical errors.
The thirst for immediate results is not limited to the realm of digital communication. People seem to be losing their ability to wait in other areas of life. For instance, do you ever find yourself talking too fast, eating too fast, driving too fast, or spending money too fast? The few moments it takes to wait for an elevator to come, for a traffic light to change, or for a computer to start may seem like too long a time. [br] Nowadays people lose their patience because______.
选项
A、their desire for satisfaction has increased
B、they are bored with what they have
C、they have more things to do than before
D、their life has been changed by technology
答案
D
解析
细节题。根据文章第二段第一句可知,许多人缺乏耐心是因为科技发展,因此选项D(他们的生活因为科技而改变)正确。根据文章第二段最后一句可知,我们从数字技术中得到的即时结果增加了我们在生活的其他方面对即时满足感的追求,选项A(他们对满足的渴望增加了)并不是人们缺乏耐心的原因。选项B(他们对所拥有的感到厌烦)和选项C(他们现在比以前有更多的事情可做)文章均未提及。故本题选D。
