Does the language we speak determine how healthy and rich we will be? New research by Keith Chen of Yale Business School suggests so. The structure of languages【C1】________our judgments and decisions about the future and this might have【C2】________long-term consequences.
There has been a lot of research【C3】________how we deal with the future.【C4】________the famous marshmallow studies of Walter Mischel and colleagues showed that being able to resist【C5】________is predictive of future success. Four-year-old kids were given a marshmallow and were told that【C6】________they do not eat that marshmallow and wait for the experimenter to come back, they will get two marshmallows instead of one. Follow-up studies showed that the kids who were able to wait for the bigger future【C7】________became more successful young adults.
Chen’s recent findings suggest that an unlikely【C8】________, language, strongly influences our future-oriented【C9】________ Some languages strongly distinguish the present and the future【C10】________other languages can only weakly tell them apart. Chen’s recent research suggests that people who speak languages that weakly distinguish the present and the future are better【C11】________for the future. They accumulate more wealth and they are better able to【C12】________their health. The way these people conceive the future is similar【C13】________the way they conceive the present. As a result, the future does not feel very【C14】________and it is easier for them to act【C15】________ their future interests.
Chen analyzed individual-level data from 76 developed and developing countries. The analyses showed that speaking a language that does not have obligatory future markers, such as Mandarin, makes people accumulate more retirement【C16】________smoke less, exercise more, and【C17】________be healthier in older age. Language also has an impact on countries’ national savings rates.
Chen’s research shows that language【C18】________our future-related thoughts. And the research also points at the possibility that the way we talk about the future can shape our mindsets. Language can【C19】________the future back and forth in our mental space and this might have significant【C20】________on our judgments and decisions.
【C5】
选项
A、difficulty
B、temptation
C、attack
D、charm
答案
B
解析
下句提到四岁的孩子得到一颗棉花糖并被告知不要吃掉,要等待。对于一个孩子来说,手里有糖但是又不能吃,是一种诱惑,B项temptation“诱惑”正确。手里有糖这件事对于孩子来说不是一种困难(A项difficulty)。C项attack“进攻”与主题无关。D项charm“吸引力”,只是某人或某物自身的吸引力,没有“诱惑”所包含的思想挣扎。
