    As a professor at a large American university, I often hear students saying: “I'm only a 1050. ”The unlucky students are speaking of the 26 on SAT, which is used 1 o determine whether they will 27 the college or university of their choice, or they will not have a chance to get a higher education at all. It is obvious that ff students 20 their test scores, then a great amount of their 29 is put in the number. Students who perform poorly on the exam are left feeling that it is all over. The low test score, they think, will make it 30 for them to get into a good college and without a 31 from a famous university, they fear that many of life's doors will remain forever closed. 

    According to a study, the SAT is only a reliable indicator of a student's future performances in most cases. 32, it becomes much more accurate when it is set together with other indicators like a student's high school grades. Even ff standardized tests like the SAT could show a student's 33, they will never be able to test things like confidence, efforts and willpower, and are unable to give us the full picture of a student's potentialities. This is not to suggest that we should stop 34 SAT scores in our college admission process. The SAT is an 35 test in many ways, and the score is still a useful means of testing students. However, it should be only one of many methods used.

根据下列材料，请回答47-56题： 

How Your Language Affects Your Wealth and Health 

A． 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 affects our judgments and decisions about the future and this might have dramatic long-term consequences. 

B． There has been a lot of research into how we deal with the future. For example, the famous marshmallow (棉花软糖)studies of Walter Mischel and colleagues showed that being able to resist temptation is predictive of future success. Four-year-old kids were given a marshmallow and were told that if they did not eat that marshmallow and waited for the experimenter to come back, they would get two marshmallows instead of one. Follow-up studies showed that the kids who were able to wait for the bigger future reward became more successful young adults. 

C． Resisting our impulses for immediate pleasure is often the only way to attain the outcomes that are important to us. We want to keep a slim figure but we ~o want that last slice of pizza. Some people are better at delaying satisfaction than others. Those people have a better chance of accumulating wealth and keeping a healthy life style. They are less likely to be impulse buyers or smokers. 

D． Chen's recent, findings suggest that an unlikely factor, language, strongly affects our futureoriented behavior. Some languages strongly distinguish the present and the future. Other languages only weakly distinguish the present and the future. Chen's recent research suggests that people who speak languages that weakly distinguish the present and the future are better prepared for the future. They accumulate more wealth and they are better able to maintain their health. The way these people conceptualize (概念) the future is similar to the way they conceptualize the present As a result, the future does not feel very distant and it is easier for them to act in accordance with their future interests. 

E． Different languages have different ways of talking about the future. Some languages, such as English, require their speakers m refer to the future explicitly. Every time English-speaker stalk about the future, they have to use future markers such as "will". In other languages, such as Mandarin (汉语普通话), future markers are not obligatory. The future is often talked about similar to the way present is talked about and the meaning is understood from the context. Languages such as English constantly remind their speakers that future events are distant. For speakersof languages such as Mandarin, future feels closer. As aconsequent, resisting immediate impulses and investing for the future is easier for Mandarin speakers. 

F． Chen analyzed individual-level data from 76 developed and developing countries. Tiffs data includes people's economic decisions, such as whether they saved arty money last year, the languages they speak athome, demographics (人口统计特征), and cultural factors such as "saving is an important cultural value for me". He also analyzed indvidual-level data on people's retirement assets, smoking and exercising habits, and general health in older age. Lastly. he analyzed nationallevel data that includes national savings rates, country GDP and GDP growth rates, country demographics, and proportions of people speaking different languages. 

G． People's savings rates are affected by various factors such as their income, education level, age, religious affiliation(隶属关系． their countries' legal systems, and their cultural values. After those factors were accounted for, the effect of language on people's savings rates turned out to be big. Speaking a language that has obligatory future markers, such as English , makes people 30 percent less likely to save money for the future. This effect is as large as the effect of unemployment. Being unemployed decreases the likelihood of saving by about 30 percent as well. 

H． Similar analyses showed that speaking a language that does not have obligatory future markers, such as Mandarin, makes people accumulate more retirement assets, smoke less, exercise more, and generally be healthier in older age. Countries' national savings rates are also affected by language. Having a larger proportion of people speaking a language that does not have obligatory future marker smakes national savings rates higher. 

I． This is an unconventional way of explaining people's consumption-saving decisions and healthrelated behavior. More conventional factors include dispositional (意向的), situational, motivational, and cultural factors. The marshmallow studies focus on dispositional factors-being able to delaysatis faction is an inherent ability. Other researches have looked at situational factors. For example, resear chers have shown that simply rearramging the placement of food and beverages (饮料)in acafeteria can improve sales of healthy items. Other research has focused on motivational factors. People often need to curb their current desire to consume in order to reach their future goal of getting out of debt. Researchers have shown that closing smaller debt accounts first gives a sense of accomplishment early on, boosts motivation, and increases the likelihood of completely getting rid of debt. The motivational effect is beneficial even if closing off smaller debt accounts does not make economic sense, for instance when the bigger debt accounts have higher interest rates attached to them. Other research has investigated cultural factors. It has been argued that Americans spend more than they need to because they want to emu/ate (仿效)the lifestyles and spending patterns of people who are much richer than themselves. Chen's findings suggest that maybe we should focus more on how we talk about the future in order to improve our inter termporal (跨期的)decision making. 

J． These results also provide evidence for the language-cognition link, which has stirred some controversy among researchers. Early 20th century thinkers such as Ferdinand de Saussure and Ludwig Wittgenstein were among the first who argued that language can impact the way people think and act. More recently, Steven Pinker argued that we think in a universal grammar and languages do not significantly shape our thinking. The issue is still hotly debated. 

K． At a more practical level, researchers have been looking for ways to help people act in accordance with their long-term interests. Recent findings suggest that making the future feel closer to the present might improve future-oriented behavior. For instance, researchers recently presented people with renderings of their future selves made using age-progression algorithms (运算法则)that forecast how physical appearances would change over time. One group of participants saw a digital representation of their current selves in a virtual mirror, and the other group saw an age-morphed (演变的)version of their future selves. Those participants who saw the age-morphed version of their future selves allocated more money toward a virtual savings account. The intervention brought people's future to the present and as a result they saved more for the future. 

L． Chen's research shows that language structures our future-related thoughts. Chen's research points at the possibility that the way we talk about the future can shape our mindsets. Language can move the future back and forth in our mental space and this might have dramatic influences on our judgments and decisions.

Because Mandarin speakers feel the future is closer, it is easier for them to resist immediate impulses and to invest for the future

Cultural factors may explain why Americans spend more than they need to.

People whose languages distinguish the present and the future weakly form the idea of the future in a similar way as of the present

Recent studies indicate that future-oriented behavior might be improved by making the future feel closer to the time being.

The famous marshmallow studies suggested that the ability to resist temptation may predict people’s future success.

Speakers of a language whose future markers are obligatory are 30% less likely to save money for rite future

Language's ability to move the future to and fro in our mind might greatly influence our judgments and decisions.

People who delay satisfaction better are more likely to be wealthy and have a healthy life style.

Steven Pinker thought we think in a universal grammar and languages do not have an important effecton shaping our thinking.

Researchers focusing on situational factors show that rearranging the placement of food and drinks in a cafeteria can improve sales of healthy items
