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.
【C8】
选项
A、result
B、factor
C、talent
D、fact
答案
B
解析
文章开头提到Chen的研究表明语言会对我们将来造成影响。空格处所填单词应与language构成同位语,其语义能涵盖语言。B项factor意为“因素,要素”,说明语言是影响人们的一个因素。该句表明语言是可以影响未来的________,A项result“结果”、C项talent“才能”和D项fact“事实”代入后均不能和language构成上下语义关系。
