4- READING

Exercise 1. 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 is not something new y 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 vuis the feeling that something familiar is unfamiliar. True

2. People have been experiencing déjà vu forthe last hundred years. False

3. Some peoplethink that déjàvu is related to dreams we can't remember. True

4. Some peoplethink that this is not ourfirst or only life. True

5. Soon we will understand how our brains work. False

Exercise 3. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 1 to 5.

All children hurt themselves from time to time. But when thirteen-year-old Ashlyn Blocker gets injured, she doesn't realise it. Once, when she burned herself, she only knew about it when she looked at her skin. There was always something different about Ashlyn.

As a baby, she didn't cry. When she was eight months old, her parents noticed there was some blood in her eye, so they took her to see a doctor. The doctor found a serious cut in her eye and was shocked. Why didn't the baby cry? Tests showed that Ashlyn had a very unusual medical condition: she couldn't feel any pain. This condition is very rare: many people who have it die of it. Pain is a natural warning that you're ill orinjured. People who can't feel painjust don't realise they're in danger.

The first few years of Ashlyn's life were very difficult. She often tripped and injured herself. Once, she broke her ankle but she didn't stop running. During school breaks, one teacher watched Ashlyn all the time in the playground and they had to search for cuts, bruises or other injuries. When she was five, Ashlyn's story appeared in newspapers and on TV. Scientists studied her condition and found she has a genetic disorder that means pain signals do not reach her brain. Unfortunately, at the moment, there is no hope of a cure. And, as Ashlyn knows, a life without pain is both difficult and dangerous.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 26 to 30.

In 2008, Alex Lenkei had a problem with the bone in his arm and he needed a serious operation. Normally, with an operation like that, the doctor gives the patient an anaesthetic so that he or she doesn't feel any pain. But Lenkei refused the anaesthetic. Instead, he hypnotised himself and simply told himself that he could not feel any pain.

That took about thirty seconds. Then the operation started. According to Mr Lenkei, pain signals do not reach his brain when he is hypnotised. The doctor, David Llewellyn-Clerk was a bit worried. He had to take some bone from Lenkei's arm. He watched Lenkei carefully during the operation, as he wasn't sure that Lenkei could feel no pain. 'I didn't think Mr Lenkei could hear us/ said Dr Llewellyn-Clerk, 'but half way through the operation, he said "How's it going?"'. That's when the doctor realised that Lenkei was not in pain. The operation lasted83 minutes.

Mr Lenkei started hypnotising people when he was sixteen and is now an expert. It wasn't his first operation without anaesthetic. In 1996, a friend hypnotised him before a thirty- minute operation in his stomach. Both operations were successful, so Lenkei had a third operation without anaesthetic in 2013, this time on his ankle, which also went well.
