20、 member Louisa Chen entered a college entrepreneurship（创业） contest, they proposed a slightly different idea for a food-rescue nonprofit group: Their program wouldnt have a donation minimum (meaning they would gladly pick up one bag of leftover bagels or a single pot of soup), would operate seven day
21、s a week, and would be run entirely by volunteers.Their idea won the competition. With the $1,000 prize, they founded Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RLC) in July 2013. In just the first few weeks, Roberts team delivered a donation of enough spaghetti and meatballs to feed 20 people in line at a New York

Participants made more reasonable decisions when money-related choices were given in a foreign language that they had learned in a classroom setting than when they were asked in a native tongue. To study how language affects reasonin
29、g, University of Chicago psychologists looked at a well-known phenomenon: people are more risk-taking when a decision irrelevant to their own feelings (such as which medicine to give to a sick elephant) is presented in terms of a potential gain than when it is framed as a potential loss even when th

In the study, native English speakers who had learned Japanese, native Korean speakers who had learned English and native English speakers studying French in Paris all showed the expected tendency when they were asked the question in their native tongue. In their foreign lan
31、guage, however, the tendency disappeared.A second set of experiments tested another cognitive (认知的) prejudice we expect a personal loss will be more painful than the same amount of gain will be pleasant, so the benefit of winning must be disproportionately large for us to take a bet(打赌) (such as gam
32、bling with our own money). Again, the foreign-language effect was obvious in two different experiments, one with native Korean speakers and one with native English speakers. The Koreans took more theoretical bets in English than Korean, and the native English speakers took more real bets in Spanish
33、than they did in English.“When people use a foreign language, their decisions tend to be less prejudiced, more analytic, more systematic, because the foreign language provides psychological distance,” lead author Boaz Keysar suggests. Cognitive prejudices are rooted in emotional reactions, and think
34、ing in a foreign language helps us disconnect from these emotions and make decisions in a more economically reasonable way. This study did not consider, however, the cases in which emotional engagement improves, rather than prevents, our choices: “We have an emotional system for a good reason,” Keys

Foreign languages play more important roles in making decisions than native languages do.C. Emotional engagement can prevent reaso

People need to win a large sum of money before they decide to take a bet. B. People are advised not to take a
37、 bet if they are not ready for the pain of losing. C. People dont take a bet unless they would win much more than they would lose.D. People will feel more pleasant winning a bet than winning a large sum of money. 15. According to Keysar, what is the reason of the foreign language effect in this rese

People are more risk-taking in a foreign language environment. D. Personal feelings have little influence in foreign language thinking. 第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）
