Reading
XIII. Read the text, and decide whether the sentences are true (T) or false (F).
I’ve Been Here Before!
It’s a strange sensation. A new place that seems familiar or an event that you’re sure has happened
before. How many of us have had this experience? Apparently, over 70%. It’s called déjà vu and
according to the experts it’s not something new but has been happening to people for hundreds of
years.
So, what explanations are there for this strange feeling that is both confusing and uncomfortable?
Some scientists think that it is related to dreams and memory. It appears that although the majority of
us cannot recall our dreams, we actually store the memory of dreams in our long-term memory. This
deep memory can come back sometimes when we are in a similar situation and makes us think that we
have done this before.
However, as usual, not all experts agree. Those who believe in reincarnation - the idea that we have all
lived before - say that these feelings are fragments of memories from previous lives. But, whatever the
reason for déjà vu, one thing it shows is how complicated and amazing our brains are and that we are a
long way from understanding completely how the brain, and in particular, how our memories work.
1. Déjà vu is the feeling that something familiar is unfamiliar. __________
2. People have been experiencing déjà vu for the last hundred years. __________
3. Some people think that déjà vu is related to dreams we can’t remember. __________
4. Some people think that this is not our first or only life. __________
5. Soon we will understand how our brains work. __________
