F or several months, I have tested
a new medicine on my patients.
The medicine was for treating insomnia.
I had fifty people take the new drug.
To the other fifty people, I gave (a)a fake
drug. It was just (b)a vitamin pill, but I
did not tell them this. After three
months, 45 people in the first group said they could sleep well. I was happy
that (c)the new drug worked well. And to my surprise, half of the people in
the second group also said they no longer suffered from insomnia. How
could this happen? They strongly believed that the medicine would treat
their illness. Some of them even said it was like (d)a magic pill! I learned
that can help patients recover from illness.
English Usage
