[2026广东广州期末]You visit a park one day and someone nearly crashes into you while riding his bike. You feel like you've experienced this particular (特定的) event before. Has this happened to you? This strange feeling is actually quite common. In psychology, it is known as “déjà vu”.
How can we explain this phenomenon (现象)? Scientists have tried to use virtual reality technology to reproduce it. In one study, scientists used the video game The Sims to study déjà vu. For example, they replaced the bushes in the game's virtual garden with trash cans. When players looked at the garden, they experienced a sense of déjà vu.
Scientists think déjà 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 recognizes the similarity, leaving us with a sense of familiarity.
Epilepsy (癫痫), a brain disease that can cause seizures (突然发作), is believed to be an extreme example of déjà vu. People with epilepsy often experience unusual feelings similar to déjà vu.
Should we be worried when we experience déjà vu? As long as it doesn't affect your daily life, researchers think there is no need to worry. In fact, some scientists believe that it may be helpful. They believe déjà vu might be caused by the brain rearranging (重新组织) misplaced memories. This could show that our memories are working well.
This theory also explains why younger people are more likely to experience déjà vu, as their brains are still growing.

A. a common feeling of strangeness
B. a sense of familiarity in a new situation
C. a phenomenon that happens during sleep
D. a phenomenon that happens more than once
