33、ky encounter（相遇）with someone who becomes the love of your life. A new teacher who spots a talent you didn t know you had. These moments seem to be the product of fate or luck. We cancontrol them.But is that true? No necessarily. Defining moments shape our lives, but we don t have to wait foWe can be

34、 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 common elements. We start by asking: why do we remember certain experiences and forget others? In the case of big days, such as weddings, the answer is pr

35、etty clear-it- s a celebration that is grand in scale and rich in emotion. No surprise that it s more memorable than a maths lesson. Bexperiences in life from holidays to work projects it s not so clear why we remember what we do.Consider an experiment in which participants were asked to submerge（ 浸

36、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

37、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 pe

38、ak, and the ending.In the participants memories, what stood out for them was that the longer trial ended more comfortably than the shorter one. So when we assessour experiences, we don t average ou-rbmy-imnuinteute feelings. Rather, we tend to remember flagship moments: the peaks, the pits（ 低谷 ） and

39、 the transitions. What we don t remember are the bits inbetweensometimes 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 bigdefining moments. But there are smaller experiences, too, in the cont

40、ext 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.How does the author understand defining moments?We can create defining moments in our lives.Defining moments are just out of our

41、control.No similarities exist between defining moments.Defining moments consist of smaller experiences.We can learn from the experiment that.the striking moments are more likely to be remembered.the length of an experience determines our memory of itit is meaningful to distinguish the bits in betwee

43、agpies can understand what other birds are saying to each other, a new study has found.The research, published in the journal Animal Behavior, 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 miners

44、-a small, native honeyeaterhave different warning calls for ground-based 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 magpie

45、s 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

46、 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 study s authors, Dominique Potvi

47、n, said the magpies showed an astonishing leves oht.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 behavior.Magpies are generally found on the ground and noisy miners are generally foun

48、d 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 aroundAustralia already did.Magpies are a pretty smart group. We re not sure if th

49、ey re learning this from other magpies or if thfiguring it out on their own, but the ability is there.As part of the experiment, researchers also played a third call: a common, non-warning call from a crimsonrosella. They found the magpies did not respond.Potvin said that we had been actively explor

50、ing animal cognition（ 认知 ） research. “ It s a good piece of thepuzzle, ” Potvin said. “ Looking at the social relationships between species that live in communities.What have the researchers found about Australian magpies?They can understand other bird calls.They can communicate with noisy miners.Th

51、ey have a special preference for cheeses.They have the ability to warn the predators.How did the researchers get their findings?By calculating the beak angles of aerial and ground predators.By comparing the magpie and the miner responses to threats.By monitoring the magpie responses to the miner war

54、rs 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 planet s forests had been burned or cut down.Once you have read Gaia Vince s book, you star

55、t to register the scale of change-inclaafagtng world.Adventures in the Anthropocene holds a mirror up to humanity and says: look what you have done to the world, they only world you will ever have.The Anthropocene-the Age of Man-is a proposed new name for the quaternary （ 第四纪）period that we now live

56、 in, and it includes what has come 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.Did it take 50,000 years to reach a population

57、of one billion? Just in the last 10 years, another billion people appeared on the planet, and by the end of this century, it could be home to 9, or 10, or 11 billion souls, each of which will hope for the minimum to sustain health and contentment. Many of them will demand a lot more, which is where

58、the problems begin. To build cities, pave highways and establish factories, humans decades ago became the greatest earth-moving force on the planet: they each year shift more rock and soil than the wind and the rain, the rivers and the glaciers（冰川）combined.Cities now cover 2% of the planet s land: b

59、y 2030, this will be 10%. Over the next 80 years, the species willbuild a city for one million people every 10 days. To keep these cities functioning, humans will consume 18 terawatts of energy and by 2020, around 5 billion of them will have smartphones, and internet access, and already people who a

60、re miserably poor can see, at a finger what thes aouchissing, and want it for themselves, and in the course of trying to get it, consume more resources and cause destruction to ecosystem.Anyone who reads this book wi ll have no excuse for not thinking about it. Vince doesn t just collect th（of explo
