Even now, I have vivid memories of my last day of high school. In my mind's eye, I'm cleaning out my locker, and then staring at the emptiness for a few extra beats before slamming it shut for the last time. I'm wandering around the halls with my best friend, blissfully ignoring the bells going off every 50 minutes on schedule because, just today, we' re allowed to break the rules. I'm sitting on my desk, swinging my feet, and shooting the breeze(闲聊) with my English teacher, Mr. Carr, in a way that makes me feel almost grown up.
It was maybe my favorite day of the whole year. Like the final layer of watercolor, the freedom and lightness I feel seeps(渗透) into the rest of my memories of that day and turns them just a shade rosier.
If the school year hasn't yet ended for you, consider what you can do to make the finale count, Why Because when it comes to human memory, not all moments are created equal. Instead, our remembered experiences are disproportionately(不成比例地) influenced by peaks ( the best moments as well as the worst) and endings ( the last moments). Nobel Prize winner Danny Kahneman, who discovered this phenomenon, called this the peak-end rule. It suggests that our judgment of a past experience is largely based on its most extreme point and its endpoint.
I took advantage of the peak-end rule years ago, when my girls were young enough to want a bedtime story each night. I remember thinking that whatever disagreement and stress had occurred that day, I could make the last moments count. I could end on a note of calm and act like the patient mom I hadn't quite managed to be just hours before.
Don't mistake all moments as equal insignificance. There's a reason why yoga classes end with savasana (挺卧式). There's a reason we eat dessert last. Do organize endings carefully. As Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll might say: Finish strong. Last impressions are especially lasting.
24. What can the author suggest doing to make the end of a school year memorable
A. Planning a special event for the last day.
B. Reflecting on the entire academic year.
C. Ignoring school regulations.
D. Focusing on the final exam.
25. Which statement is true about the peak-end rule
A. The last moments matter the most in our memories.
B. Peaks in life can be remembered better than endings.
C. The peaks and ends of experiences are easier to remember.
D. Our judgment of the past is determined by first impressions.
26. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. What struggles the author had in life.
B. How the author treated her daughters.
C. Why the author read stories to her kids.
D. How the author applied the rule to daily life.
27. Why is Pate Carroul mentioned in the last paragraph
A. To show the importance of doing sports.
B. To explain why last impressions are lasting.
C. To prove the peak-end rule can be used in sports.
D. To encourage readers to value the last moments of an experience.
C
My space launched in September 2003. Friendster gave inspiration to the founders of Myspace, and the social network officially went live on the web in January 2004. After its first month online, over one million people signed up. By November 2004, that number grew to 5 million. By 2006, Myspace was visited more times than Google Search and Yahoo, becoming the most visited website in the United States. In June of that year, My space was reportedly responsible for nearly 80 percent of all social media traffic.
As explosive as Myspace was, it paled in comparison to how quickly Facebook grew into the internet giant it is today.

S. traffic with 75.9 million unique visitors. As Facebook grew, Myspace sustain a series of downsizing and redesigns as it tried to redefine itself as a social entertainment network. It was estimated(估价) in March 2011 that the site had dropped from attracting 95 million to63 million unique visitors within the past year.
Although several factors triggered Myspace's fall, one argument held that the company never figured out how to innovate well enough to keep up with the competition. Officially, however, Myspace is far from dead. If you go to , you'll see that it is very much still alive, though it has mostly transitioned away from social networking to become a site for planning music and entertainment. As of 2019, the site boasted over 7 million monthly visits. On Myspace's front page, you’ ll find a variety of entertainment news stories not just about music, but also movies, sports, food, and other cultural topics. Profiles are still a central feature of the social network, but users are encouraged to share their own music, videos, photos, and even concert events.
28. How long has it taken Myspace to become the most visited website in America since its establishment
A. About 2 years. B. About 3 years.
C. About 5 years. D. About 8 years.
29. What does the underlined word“sustain” mean in the second paragraph
A. adapted B. acquired C. challenged D. experienced
30. What is one of the main reasons for Myspace' failure
A. Lack of improvement. B. Too much competition.
C. Unclear business positioning. D. Cutting down too many workers.
31. What does Myspace mainly feature right now
A. Profiles. B. Social networking.
C. Entertainment news. D. Music and entertainment.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My mother eyed me with suspicion. I dared not look at her. Knowing that I was late from school five days in a row, I could not offer an acceptable explanation. However, realizing she had little choice but to accept my explanation that I had extra curricular activities every day and arrived home after 5p. m., she told me that dinner was in the refrigerator and to warm it up in the microwave oven. She had to rush for her night work at the local clinic.
After our dad passed away in an accident, my mother became the only breadwinner. I was the eldest among the four siblings(兄弟姊妹) and it fell upon my shoulder to ensure that they would become responsible adults. Aside from helping mother with the housework, I regularly coached them in their studies. Thankfully, never once did I have to raise my voice or force them to complete their homework. But all of us missed dad deeply, who was a model father and husband. Mom had never recovered from the tragic incident.
However, she managed to pull through to raise us and secured a job at the clinic. It was very tough on someone like her who had never worked before in her life. But money was scarce and there were five mouths to feed. We stopped dining out and had our meals mostly at home. We basically lived from hand to mouth. That's when it dawned on me that I had to do my part for the family. I knew mother would not agree but I threw caution out of the window and managed to get a part-time job at a fast food restaurant. I worked three hours a day and managed to bring home money so that my siblings and I could go out for occasional movies or meals.
I was sure mother suspected something wrong. But she could not quite point the figure to the source of her suspicion. However,I was awfully guilty and had to constantly reassure (宽慰) myself that contributing financially to the family was the least I could do to lessen my mother's burden.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
One day, while serving the customers, I was surprised to see mother leading my siblings in.
I walked over to see mother was already crying.
