An economics professor has said English speakers may be poorer because of English grammar. Dr Keith Chen of Yale University said that differences in the tenses of the world's languages may explain why people in some countries save more money than people in other countries. He told people that the future tense in English could actually make people believe the future is not important now. He said English speakers might think the future is separate from the present, and that may make people not think about their future. He explained this could stop people saving money for their retirement. He also suggested future tenses may make people smoke more and exercise less.

Professor Chen divided the grammar of countries into two, those with a \"strong future-time reference\" and those with a weak reference. He explained: \"If I wanted to explain to an English-speaking colleague why I can't attend a meeting later today, I could not say 'I go to a seminar(研习班)'. English grammar would require me to say 'I will go, am going, or have to go to a seminar'\". He compared this with \"weak future-time reference\" languages \"that can express the same meaning without future words like \"will\". Chen says speakers of these languages are those who save more money. He believes this could be because they do not separate the present time and future in their grammar or in real life.

It seems true that Chinese people save more money than English speakers and Chinese is a “weak future-time reference” language. But Chinese people never think it’s because of the language they speak. They save money because their parents tell them to do that.

What do you think of Dr Keith Chen’s idea? 51. What is Keith Chen’s job?

A. an English teacher. B. an economics professor. C. a language professor. D. a professor on grammar. 52. The underlined word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to . A. speakers who speak “weak future-time reference” languages B. speakers who speak “strong future-time reference” languages C. “weak future-time reference” languages D. “strong future-time reference” languages

53. Who save more money according to Professor Chen?

A. English people. B. American people. C. Chinese people. D. Australian people. 54. Which of the following is true according to Professor Chen?

A. English people are poorer than people in other countries. B. English grammar has a “weak future-time reference”.

C. Englsih speakers separate the present time and future time in their grammer. D. English speakers think about their future more than people in other countries. 55. What is the best title of the passage? A. English grammar and other grammar. B. How to save money. C. Future and present. D. Grammar and economy.
