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Some believe that e-mail is losing popularity and could soon become outdated.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.
The pursuit of instant results causes people to______.
选项
A、become more impolite
B、have more errors in their writings
C、use voice messages instead of emails
D、lose many of their abilities in life
答案
B
解析
细节题。根据文章第四段最后一句可知,人们更喜欢及时信息的结果是信件和电子邮件中会有大量的语法和拼写错误,因此选项B(他们的书写中有许多错误)符合文章意思。选项A(变得更没有礼貌)、选项C(用语音信息代替电子邮件)文中均未提及。根据文章第五段第二句可知,在生活的其他领域人们好像也正在失去等待的能力,选项D(失去了生活中的许多能力)与文章意思不符。故本题选B。
