          If you're studying English or another foreign language,you might be thinking,"How is this going to help me in my life? " It turns out,just studying and thinking in a foreign language has its own benefits(益處)!
             In a 2012 study,Boaz Keysar,a professor at the University of Chicago in the US,led an experiment about the relationship(關系)between foreign languages and people's way of thinking.
             In the experiment,people needed to make a choice:Take a guarantee(保證)of one pound or take a 50% chance of winning 2.50 pounds.When given this choice in their mother language,most people took the safe choice of getting one pound.But they would like to make the riskier(更冒險的)choice when asked in a foreign language,according to The Guardian.Keysar said,"People just hate the possibility of losing,but they hate it less in a foreign language. "In another study,Keysar and his team did an experiment in which people were given some related(相關的)words like"dream","snooze(打盹)","bed"and"rest".Later,when asked in their mother language which words they remembered,people were more likely to mistakenly remember "sleep",which was not on the list.But it was much less likely to happen if they did the test in a foreign language.Keysar said,"People have more careful thinking when using a foreign language. "
             The evidence(證據)is clear:By learning a foreign language,you're not just learning a language you're gaining a new state of mind.
