Stpping by Wds n a Snwy Evening
By Rbert Frst
Whse wds these are I think I knw.
His huse is in the village thugh;
He will nt see me stpping here,
T watch his wds fill up with snw.
My little hrse must think it queer
T stp withut a farmhuse near
Between the wds and frzen lake
The darkest evening f the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
T ask if there is sme mistake.
The nly ther sund’s the sweep
Of easy wind and dwny flake.
The wds are lvely, dark and deep,
But I have prmises t keep,
And miles t g befre I sleep,
And miles t g befre I sleep.

D yu knw sme peple have memries that are cmpletely wrng? They remember things that never happened. Smetimes, many peple have the same wrng memry. When this happens, it’s believed that it is because f the Mandela Effect（效应）.
Peple first nticed the Mandela Effect in 2013. That year, Nelsn Mandela died. Hwever, thusands f peple remembered him dying in the 1980s. They described watching his funeral(葬礼) n TV. But in fact, Mandela lived t be 95 years ld. Hw culd that be? Hw culd s many peple have the same wrng memry?
Mst experts explain the Mandela Effect using brain science. When we make memries, ur brains keep them in grups. Each grup includes memries that are similar(相似的) t each ther. Smetimes, ur brains mess up(混乱). They mix tw similar memries tgether. That's why peple thught Nelsn Mandela died in the 1980s. They knew he was imprisned(坐牢)during the 1980s. Fr sme reasn, they mixed his imprisnment with his death.
That wuld explain why s many peple in 2013 thught Nelsn Mandela was already dead. But wuld it explain why all thse peple gave similar descriptins f his funeral(葬礼)? Culd all thse peple have mixed up the same tw memries?
There are many ther examples f the Mandela Effect. Have yu ever seen the Mna Lisa? Many peple remember the wman in the painting with a frwn(皱眉). Others say she was straight-faced. If yu lk at the Mna Lisa tday, yu'll find she's smiling. Did yu ever read any children's bks abut The Berenstein Bears? N, yu didn’t. In ur reality, the bks are abut The Berenstain Bears, spelled with an “a” instead f an “e”. Still, thusands f peple believe they remember the name spelled differently.
Are these wrng memries the result f mixed memries, r is there anther explanatin? Withut further science study, we can’t say fr sure!
24. What is the Mandela Effect?
A. Sme peple have wrse memry than thers.
B. Sme peple may have the same wrng memry.
C. Peple are better at remembering certain things.
D. Peple remember unhappy experiences mre easily.
25.Why des the authr give the example in Paragraph 2?
A. T prve(证明)his pint.B. T intrduce the tpic.

A. Peple are easily influenced by thers. B. Peple pay little attentin t the fact.
C. Peple mix tw similar events up. D. Peple have pr memry.
27. What des the authr think f the Mandela Effect?
A. Its reasn is unknwn.B. It lasts fr a lng time.
C. It is hard t avid.D. Its effect is great.
