Many of them owe a great deal to chance: a lucky encounter(相遇) with someone who bees the love of your life. A new teacher who spots a talent you didnt know you had. These moments seem to be the product of fate or luck. We cant control them. But is that true? Not necessarily. Defining moments shape our lives, but we dont have to wait for them to happen. We can be the authors of them. It is possible to create defining moments if we understand more about them. Our research shows that they all share a set of mon elements. We start by asking: why do we remember certain experiences and forget others? In the case of big days, such a weddings, the answer is pretty clearits a celebration that is grand in scale and rich in emotion. No surprise that its more memorable than a maths lesson. But for other experiences in lifefrom holidays to work projectsits not so clear why we remember what we do. Consider an experiment in which participants were asked to submerge(浸入) their hands for 60 seconds in buckets filled with 14 water. (Remember 14 water feels much colder than 14 air.) They were then asked to submerge their hands for 90 seconds instead of 60, but during the final 30 seconds, the water warmed up to 15. The participants were then given a choice: would you rather repeat the first trial or the second?Psychologists have explained the reasons for this puzzling result. When people assess an experience, they tend to forget or ignore its length. Instead they seem to rate the experience based on two key moments: the best or worst moment, known as the peak, and the ending. In the participants memories, what stood out for them was that the longer trial ended more fortably than the shorter one. So when we assess our experiences, we dont average our minutebyminute feelings. Rather, we tend to remember flagship moments: the peaks, the pits(低谷) and the transitions. What we dont remember are the bits in betweensometimes there is little to distinguish one week from the next. Partly this is because there may be only a dozen moments in your life that show who you arethose are big defining moments. But there are smaller experiences, too, in the context of a memorable holiday, romantic date or work achievement. Once we understand how we remember certain moments and why, we can start to create more moments that matter. ()58. How does the author understand defining moments?A. We can create defining moments in our lives. B. Defining moments are just out of our control. C. No similarities exist between defining moments. D. Defining moments consist of smaller experiences. ()59. We can learn from the experiment that _. A. the striking moments are more likely to be rememberedB. the length of an experience determines our memory of itC. it is meaningful to distinguish the bits in between flagship momentsD. all the ponents of an experience should be equally remembered()60. What would probably be discussed in the following part of the text?A. What to prepare for lifes trials. B. Why to create defining moments. C. Whom to owe our good fates to. D. How to create lifes big moments. CAustralian magpies can understand what other birds are saying to each other, a new study has found. The research, published in the journal Animal Behaviour, says the magpie has learned the meanings of different noisy miner calls and essentially eavesdrops(偷听) to find out which predators(食肉动物) are near. Noisy minersa small, native honeyeaterhave different warning calls for groundbased and aerial(飞行的) predators. By playing both kinds of recording to a series of wild magpies, researchers observed the magpies raising their beaks(喙) to the sky, or dropping their heads to the ground. Researchers attracted the magpies with cheese, then played the noisy miner calls, videotaping the results. As a control, they also rolled a large orange ball towards the magpies to see how they ordinarily tilted(倾斜) their beaks to ground threats, and threw the ball to see how they reacted to aerial threats. The researchers recorded an average maximum beak angle of 29 degrees for the thrown ball, and an average maximum of nine degrees when it was rolled. The miners aerial warning caused an average maximum beak angle of 31 degrees, and the ground warning caused an average maximum of 24. One of the studys authors, Dominique Potvin, said the magpies showed an astonishing level of insight. Magpies and miners broadly face the same types of predators and the two frequently live in the same ecosystem. Potvin said this had encouraged the magpies learned behaviour. “Magpies are generally found on the ground and noisy miners are generally found up in trees. It pays for the magpie to pay attention to somebody who has a better view of predators than they do.”She said it was unclear whether other birds could do the same, but it was highly likely other magpies around Australia already did. “Magpies are a pretty smart group. Were not sure if theyre learning this from other magpies or if theyre figuring it out on their own, but the ability is there.” As part of the experiment, researchers also played a third call: a mon, nonwarning call from a crimson rosella. They found the magpies did not respond. Potvin said that we had been actively exploring animal cognition(认知) research. “Its a good piece of the puzzle，” Potvin said. “Looking at the social relationships between species that live in munities.”()61. What have the researchers found about Australian magpies?A. They can understand other bird calls. B. They can municate with noisy miners. C. They have a special preference for cheeses. D. They have the ability to warn the predators. ()62. How did the researchers get their findings?A. By calculating the beak angles of aerial and ground predators. B. By paring the magpie and the miner responses to threats. C. By monitoring the magpie responses to the miner warning calls. D. By recording the magpie louder scream for other birds attention. ()63. The magpies cognition can help them _. A. have a better view of the predators than the minersB. better protect themselves from the potential threatsC. cooperate with other birds to drive away the predatorsD. live in harmony with other birds in the same ecosystem()64. We can learn from the passage that _. A. the magpies are smart learners of other birds behaviourB. its likely that other birds have developed the same abilityC. the findings have clarified the relationships between speciesD. a lot more remains to be explored about animal cognitionDUN scholars have calculated that within the next 10 years the degradation(退化) of farm and grassland could turn 50 million people into migrants. Another UN agency calculated that in the last 25 years, another 3% of the planets forests had been burned or cut down. Once you have read Gaia Vinces book, you start to register the scale of change in a fastchanging world. Adventures in the Anthropocene holds a mirror up to humanity and says: look what you have done to the world, the only world you will ever have. The Anthropocenethe Age of Manis a proposed new name for the quaternary(第四纪) period that we now live in, and it includes what has e to be called the Great Acceleration, in which during the last 65 years, whatever humans did, they did it faster and more effectively, and on a greater scale, while_at_the_same_time_reproducing_more_and_dying_much_less.
