(D) 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 languages and people's way of thinking. In the experiment,people were asked to make a choice:Take a guarantee (of one pound or take 八年级英语科问卷第7页共11页 a 50 percent chance of winning 2.50 pounds.When presented with this choice in their native language, most people took the safe 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,according to The Guardian.As Keysar put it,"People just hate the prospect (of losing,but they hate it less in a foreign language." 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 ()""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.As Keysar explained,people have more careful thinking when using a foreign language, leading to memories with greater accuracy(准确性). 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 (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. 42.In Keysar's experiment,how did people make decisions in a foreign language compared with their native language? A.They were faster. B.They were more hopeful. C.They were more daring. D.They were more careful. 43.According to Keysar,how does using a foreign language affect memory? A.It improves memory recall speed. B.It increases memory accuracy. C.It improves long-term memory. D.It requires more repetitions for memorization. 44.According to the text,what is a potential benefit of being open to uncertainty? 八年级英语科问卷第8页 共11页 A.Increased creativity. B.Better learning ability C.Greater self-confidence. D.Improved decision-making ability. 45.What does the text mainly talk about? A.How language leamning affects memory. B.How learning foreign languages influences one's future. C.Challenges of learning a foreign language. D.Advantages of learning a foreign language. 第二节阅读填空（共5小题：每题1分，共5分） 阅读短文及文后A-E选项，选出可以填入46~50各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项 涂黑。 How can we make friends?We talked to some older kids.Here's what they told us.
