Even nw, I have vivid memries f my last day f high schl. In my mind’s eye, I’m cleaning ut my lcker, and then staring at the emptiness fr a few extra beats befre slamming it shut fr the last time. I’m wandering arund the halls with my best friend, blissfully ignring the bells ging ff every 50 minutes n schedule because, just tday, we’re allwed t break the rules. I’m sitting n my desk, swinging my feet, and shting the breeze (闲聊) with my English teacher, Mr. Carr, in a way that makes me feel almst grwn up.
It was maybe my favrite day f the whle year. Like the final layer f waterclr, the freedm and lightness I feel seeps (渗透) int the rest f my memries f that day and turns them just a shade rsier.
If the schl year hasn’t yet ended fr yu, cnsider what yu can d t make the finale cunt. Why? Because when it cmes t human memry, nt all mments are created equal. Instead, ur remembered experiences are disprprtinately (不成比例地) influenced by peaks (the best mments as well as the wrst) and endings (the last mments). Nbel Prize winner Danny Kahneman, wh discvered this phenmenn, called this the peak-end rule. It suggests that ur judgment f a past experience is largely based n its mst extreme pint and its endpint.
I tk advantage f the peak-end rule years ag, when my girls were yung enugh t want a bedtime stry each night. I remember thinking that whatever disagreement and stress had ccurred that day, I culd make the last mments cunt. I culd end n a nte f calm and act like the patient mm I hadn’t quite managed t be just hurs befre.
Dn’t mistake all mments as equal insignificance. There’s a reasn why yga classes end with savasana (挺卧式). There’s a reasn we eat dessert last. D rganize endings carefully. As Seattle Seahawks cach Pete Carrll might say: Finish strng. Last impressins are especially lasting.
4. What can the authr suggest ding t make the end f a schl year memrable?
A. Planning a special event fr the last day
B. Reflecting n the entire academic year
C. Ignring schl regulatins
D. Fcusing n the final exam
5. Which statement is true abut the peak-end rule?
A. The last mments matter the mst in ur memries
B. Peaks in life can be remembered better than endings
C. The peaks and ends f experiences are easier t remember.
D. Our judgment f the past is determined by first impressins.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A. What struggles the authr had in life.
B. Hw the authr treated her daughters.
C. Why the authr read stries t her kids.
D. Hw the authr applied the rule t daily life.
7. Why is Pete Carrll mentined in the last paragraph?
A. T shw the imprtance f ding sprts.
B. T explain why last impressins are lasting.
C. T prve the peak-end rule can be used in sprts
D. T encurage readers t value the last mments f an experience.
C
A bat and a ball cst $1.10 in ttal. The bat csts $1.00 mre than the ball. Hw much des the ball cst?
If yu answered 10 cents, yu’re nt alne – mst peple give the same answer (the crrect answer is 5 cents). It’s an example f hw we ften rely n intuitive (直觉的) respnses – answers we feel are true. Peple give answers that “pp int their mind,” says Steven Slman. We dn’t spend much time “reflecting and checking whether the answer is right r wrng.”
The bat and ball questin helps explain why we ften believe in fake news. It is part f human nature t believe, says Slman. But “the trick with fake news is t knw t verify” – in ther wrds, t stp and questin what yu knw. In ne experiment, Slman and a clleague invented a discvery called helium rain. They tld a grup f vlunteers abut it, but admitted they culd nt fully explain what it was. They then asked the vlunteers t rate their wn understanding f helium rain. Mst vlunteers rated themselves 1 ut f 7, meaning they did nt understand the cncept.
The researchers then tld anther grup f vlunteers abut the discvery. This time, they said that scientists culd fully explain hw it wrks. When asked t rate their understanding, the vlunteers gave an average answer f 2. The scientists’ cnfidence gave the vlunteers an increased sense f their wn understanding, Slman says.
Accrding t Slman, studies shw that knwledge spreads like a cntagin(传染病). This idea can be seen in many fields, including plitics. “If everyne arund yu is saying they understand why a plitician is dishnest,” Slman says, “then yu’re ging t start thinking that yu understand, t.”
Anther explanatin fr the spread f fake news is “mtivated reasning,” writes Adam Wyatz, an American management prfessr, “we are naturally mre likely t believe things that cnfirm ur existing pinins.”
S in a wrld where misleading infrmatin is cmmn, training peple t care abut fact-checking is imprtant, especially in nline cmmunities. “We shuld check things and nt just take them at face value,” Slman says. “Verify befre yu believe.”
8. Why des the authr use the example f the bat and ball questin?
A. T warn that peple ften ignre skills that they learned.
B. T shw that there are varius answers t a questin.
C. T aruse peple’s interest in playing guessing games.
D. T illustrate that peple tend t rush t a cnclusin.
9. In paragraph 3, what des the underlined wrd “verify” mean?
A. T express an pinin abut smething.
B. T make sure smething is true.
C. T think abut smething fr a lng time.
D. T fllw yur intuitive respnse.
10. When d mre vlunteers claim t understand helium rain?
A. When Slman and his clleagues shwed them hw it wrks.
B. When they have mre cnfidence in themselves.
C. When they believed that scientists understd it.
D. When sme f the vlunteers explained it t them.
11. Which f the fllwing is an example f “mtivated reasning”?
A. Yu pst a message nline that gives yur persnal pinin abut a news stry.
B. Yu think a university prfessr dishnest when everybdy arund yu say s.
C. Yu search nline fr mre infrmatin abut a dubtful stry n scial media.
D. Yu trust a damaging stry abut smene wh yu always judge negatively.
D
Scientists have fund a way t decde (解码) a stream f wrds in the brain using MRI scans and artificial intelligence. The system recnstructs the main pint f what a persn hears r imagines, rather than trying t cpy each wrd, a team reprts. “It’s getting at the ideas behind the wrds, the meaning, says Alexander Huth, an authr f the study.
Previus effrts t decde language have relied n sensrs placed directly n the surface f the brain. The sensrs detect signals in areas invlved in expressing wrds. But the Texas team’s apprach is an attempt t “decde mre freefrm thught,” says Marcel Just, a prfessr f psychlgy at Carnegie Melln University.
The new study came abut as part f an effrt t understand hw the brain prcesses language. Researchers had three peple spend up t 16 hurs each in a functinal MRI scanner, which detects signs f activity acrss the brain. Participants wre headphnes that streamed audi frm the Internet. Thse streams f wrds prduced activity all ver the brain, nt just in areas assciated with speech and language. After participants listened t hurs f stries in the scanner, the MRI data was sent t a cmputer. It learned t match specific patterns f brain activity with certain streams f wrds. Then came a paraphrased versin f what a participant heard.
The MRI apprach is currently slwer and less accurate than an experimental cmmunicatin system being develped fr paralyzed peple, where peple get a sheet f electrical sensrs implanted directly n the surface f the brain. With an MRI-based system, n ne has t get surgery.
But future versins f MRI scans culd raise mral questins. “What if yu can read ut the wrd that smebdy is just thinking in their head? That’s ptentially a harmful thing.” Huth says. This technlgy can’t really read minds uncntrllably, thugh. It nly wrks when a participant is actively cperating with scientists. Still, systems that decde language culd smeday supprt peple wh are unable t speak because f a brain injury r disease. They are als assisting scientists in understanding hw the brain prcesses wrds and thughts.
12. What is special abut the Texas team’s study?
A. Brain can be recnstructed.B. Sensr signals can be imprved.
C. Expressin can be perfected.D. Meanings can be cmprehended.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A. The way f speech decding.B. Steps f wrd matching.
C. The prcess f an experiment.D. Patterns f brain activity.
14. What can be implied abut MRI scans frm the last paragraph?
A. They are a duble-edged swrd.B. They are ptentially harmful t life.
C. They are well wrth researching.D. They are helpful t treat brain disease.
15. Which can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. A Decder That Can Cnvey MeaningB. A Decder That Can Read Yur Mind
C. MRI Scanner: Still a Lng Way t GD. MRI Scanner: Bridge Message Gap

The easy way ut isn't always easiest. I learned that lessn when I decided t treat my father t a special meal. I glanced thrugh the ckbk and chse a menu which included hmemade bread. Knwing the bread wuld take time, I started n it as sn as he left fr wrk.
As I was nt experienced in cking, I thught if a dzen was gd, tw dzen wuld be better, s I dubled everything. As Dad lved ranges, I als pened a can f range and pured it all int the bwl. Sn there was sticky dugh (面团) cvered with ugly yellwish marks. Realizing I had been defeated, I put the dugh in the rubbish bin utside s I wuldn't have t face him laughing at my wrk.
I went n preparing the rest f the meal, and, when Dad gt hme, we sat dwn t Crnish chicken with rice. He tried t enjy the meal but seemed disturbed. Twice he gt up and went utside, saying he thught he heard a nise. The third time he left, I went t the windws t see what he was ding.
Lking ut, I saw Dad standing abut three feet frm the rubbish bin, hlding the lid up with a stick and lking int the cntainer. When I came ut f the huse, he drpped the stick and explained that there was smething alive in the rubbish bin. Picking up the stick again, he held the lid up enugh fr me t see. I felt cld. But I stepped clser and lked harder.
Withut dubt it was my wrk. The ht sun had caused the dugh t duble in size and the. fermenting yeast (酵母) made the surface shake and sigh as thugh it were breathing. I had t admit what the "living thing" was and why it was there. I dn't knw wh was mre embarrassed by the whle thing, Dad r me.
