10、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。21（6分） We all have defining moments in our lives - meaningful experiences that stand out in our memory. 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

11、seem to be the product of fate or luck. We cant control them.But is that true? No 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

12、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 pretty clear-its a celebration that is grand in scale and rich in emotion. No surprise that its more memorable than a m

13、aths lesson. But for other experiences in life -from holidays to work projects-its 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

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 res

15、ult. 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

16、comfortably than the shorter one. So when we assess our experiences, we dont average our minute-by-minute 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 between-sometimes there is little to distinguish one we

17、ek from the next.Partly this is because there may be only a dozen moments in your life that show who you are-those 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 mo

18、ments and why, we can start to create more moments that matter.1、How does the author understand defining moments?AWe can create defining moments in our lives.BDefining moments are just out of our control.CNo similarities exist between defining moments.DDefining moments consist of smaller experiences
