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Some believe that e-mail is losing popularity and could soon become outdated.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 [br] Some believe that e-mail could soon become outdated because______.
选项
A、it takes a long time to start the computer
B、people value formalities between friends
C、people can hardly wait for a response
D、cellphones are more popular nowadays
答案
C
解析
细节题。根据文章第四段第三句可知,电子邮件可能会过时是因为许多发信息的人没有耐心等待他人的回复,因此选项C(人们几乎没有耐心等待回复)符合题意。选项A(启动电脑需要花费很长时间)文中并未提到。根据文章第四段第五句可知,很多人认为这样的客套话很无聊并且浪费时间,因此选项B(人们看重朋友间的客套)与原文意思相反。选项D(手机现在更加流行)文中并未提及。故本题选C。
