题目

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 Do you know some people have memories that are completely wrong? They remember things that never happened. Sometimes, many people have the same wrong memory. When this happens, it's believed that it is because of the Mandela Effect. People first noticed the Mandela Effect in 2013. That year, Nelson Mandela passed away. However, thousands of people remembered him dying in the 1980s. They described watching his funeral (葬礼) on TV. But in fact, Mandela lived to be 95 years old. How could that be? How could so many people have the same wrong memory? Most experts explain the Mandela Effect using brain science. When we make memories, our brains keep them in groups. Each group includes memories that are similar to each other. Sometimes, our brains mess up. They mix two similar memories together. That's why people thought Nelson Mandela died in the 1980s. They knew he was imprisoned (坐牢) during the 1980s. For some reason, they mixed his imprisonment with his death. That would explain why so many people in 2013 thought Nelson Mandela was already dead. But would it explain why all those people gave similar descriptions of his funeral? Could all those people have mixed up the same two memories? There are many other examples of the Mandela Effect. Have you ever seen the Mona Lisa? Many people remember the woman in the painting with a frown (皱眉). Others say she was straight-faced. If you look at the Mona Lisa today, you'll find she's smiling. Did you ever read a series of children's books about The Berenstein Bears? No, you didn't. In our reality, the books are about The Berenstain Bears, spelled with an “a” instead of an “e”. Still, thousands of people believe they remember the name spelled differently. Are these wrong memories the result of mixed memories, or is there another explanation? Without further science research, we can't say for sure! （1） What is the Mandela Effect? A . Some people have worse memory than others. B . Some people may have the same wrong memory. C .
