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Some believe that e-mail is losing popularity and could soon become outdated.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] The best title for the passage might be "______".
选项
A、What Are the Problem Caused by Impatience?
B、Are We Less Patient Today?
C、What Happened to Technology?
D、Has Digital Technology Changed Our Lives?
答案
B
解析
主旨题。根据文章第一段可知,焦躁情绪已经存在了很长时间,并且一些专家认为人们现在比以前更缺乏耐心。根据第二段第一句可知,一些分析师认为人们没有耐心的原因是科技的发展。第四段讲人们由于没有耐心等待回复邮件而更喜欢即时信息。第五段讲人们在生活的其他方面正在失去等待能力。据此可知,整篇文章都在讲现在的人们更缺乏耐心,因此选项B(今天我们更缺乏耐心吗?)符合题意。选项A(缺乏耐心引起了什么问题?)并不是文章主旨。选项C(科技发生了什么?)和选项D(数字科学改变了我们的生活吗?)都过于片面。故本题选B。
