三、阅读理解题(本大题共5小题,每小题4分,共20分)
If you' re studying
English or another foreign language, you might be wondering," How is this
going to help me in my life?" As it turns out, just studying and thinking
in a foreign language has its own benefits!
In a 2012 study, Boaz
Keysar, a professor at the University of Chicago in the US, led an experiment
concerning the relationship between foreign language and people's way of
thinking.
In the experiment,
people were asked to make a choice: Take a guarantee of one pound or take a 50
percent chance of winning 2.50 pounds. When presented with this choice in their
native language, most people took the sa fe option of only getting one pound.
But they were more willing to make the riskier choice when asked in a foreign
language, leading to more profits overall.
In another study
published this year, Keysar and his team did an experiment in which
participants were given a series of related words like“ dream”," snooze(打盹)"," bed" and“ rest".
Later, when asked which words they remembered hearing, people were more likely
to mistakenly remember“ sleep”, which was not on the list, in their native
Language. But it was much less likely to happen if they did the test in a
foreign language. But it was much less likely to happen if they did the test in
a foreign language. But it was much less likely to happen if they test in a
foreign language. As Keysar explained, people have more careful thinking when
using a foreign language,
Leading to memories with greater accuracy.
The foreign language
effect may even stretch to our personality. Silvia Purpuri at the University of
Trento, Italy, looked at people's willingness to face uncertainty and enter
unfamiliar situations. Being tolerant of uncertainty allows people to have more
creative ideas and be more open to new things. It turns out that people
naturally score more highly on this trait(特点) when they can speak or use a foreign language because speaking a
foreign language requires taking risks. The evidence is clear: By learning a
foreign language, you' re not just learning a language--- you' re gaining a new
state of mind.
