Many Western countries celebrate Easter. This holiday is always on a Sunday between March 22nd and April 25th. It celebrates the beginning of new life. Hens lay eggs, giving birth to life, so an egg is a symbol of new life. A popular activity during Easter is to hide eggs around your home or garden for friends or relatives to find. These can be real eggs, but they are more often chocolate eggs. Not only do people spread them around in different hiding places for an egg hunt, but they also give out these treats as gifts.

When British and American people invite you for a meal, it's useful to know these things.

Dinner parties usually start between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. and end at about 11 p.m. Ask your hosts what time you should arrive. It's polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a gift. And you can say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But remember —it's not polite to ask how much things cost.

Usually dinners start with drinks and snacks, or probably start with soup or something small, and then you'll have meat or fish with vegetables, and the dessert, followed by coffee. It's polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want.

It was a dark and cold night. When a taxi driver went by the railway station, he saw a young man coming out with two bags in his hands. So he quickly opened the door of the car and asked, "Where do you want to go, sir?"

"To Star Hotel," the young man answered. When the taxi driver heard this, he didn't feel happy. He knew the young man could give him only three dollars because the hotel was not far from the railway station. But suddenly, he had an idea. He took the passenger through many streets of the big city.

After a long time, the car arrived at the hotel at last. "You should pay me fifteen dollars," the driver said to the young man. "What? Fifteen dollars! Do you think I'm a fool（傻瓜）? Only last week, I took a taxi from the railway station to this same hotel and I only gave the driver thirteen dollars. I know how much I have to pay for the trip.

You visit a park one day and someone nearly hits you while riding his bike. You feel like you've experienced this thing before. This strange feeling is in fact quite common. It's known as" deja vu"(似曾相识).

How can we explain this? In one study, scientists used the video game the Sims(《模拟人生》游戏) to study deja vu. or example, they took the place of the bushes(灌木丛)in the game's garden with cans. When players looked at the garden, they experienced a sense of deja vu, though there weren't any of those low thick plants but cans.

Scientists think deja vu might be explained as a simple failure of memory. We see something that looks similar to something we've seen before, but our brains fail to find the exact memory. However, the brain still knows the similarity.

According to the scientific American survey, more than two thirds of the population experienced deja vu at least once. About a third of people, especially those between the ages of 15 and 25, have experienced this experience more than once. In people's reports, deja vu for the first time appeared between 6 and 10 years old.

Should we be worried when we experience deja vu? As long as it doesn't influence our daily life, researchers think there is no need to worry. In fact, some scientists believe that it might be helpful. They believe deja vu might be caused by the brain changing misplaced memories. This could show that our memories are working well. This also explains why more younger people are possible to experience it, as their brains are still growing.

36．What do some scientists think of deja vu in our daily life? 

A．It might be strange. B．It might be useful.

C．It might be unusual. D．It might be exciting.

37．What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 2 refer to(指的是)? 

A．The scientists. B．The video games.

C．The Sims. D．The players.

38．What can be learned from Paragraph 3? 

A．Deja vu might be a simple failure of memory.

B．Deja vu might be a memory mistake.

C．Deja vu might be the total loss of memory.

D．Deja vu might be a simple recall.

39．Who may easily have the feeling of deja vu? 

A．Younger people. B．Old people.

C．Women. D．Men.

40．What's the main idea of the passage? 

A．It explains what causes our bad memories.

B．It introduces advantages of deja vu.

C．It suggests some ways to avoid deja vu.

D．It shows scientists' research about deja vu.
