11、emory. Many of them owe a great deal to chance: a lucky encounter(相遇) with someone who becomes 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? No necessarily. Defining moments

12、 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.

13、rget others? In the case of big days, such as weddings, the answer is pretty clearits a celebration that is grand in scale and rich in emotion.

16、perience 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 comfortably than the shorter one. So when we assess our experiences, we dont average our minute-by-minute feelings

17、. 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 a

18、re 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.1、How does the author understand defining moments?AWe
