What do you imagine when you hear the word fake? Iʼm sure you imagine something bad. Almost
everyone thinks that real things are good and fake things are not. But Iʼll introduce a fake thingwhich is ① to us all. You may say you canʼt find such a thing in the world. Now, Iʼll show you one.
Have you ever heard or read the word placebo?” A placebo is a fake medicine. It looks like anormal medicine, but itʼs quite different from a real medicine. You may be surprised when you
hear that it is often made of sugar and used in hospitals. Of course, you donʼt think that taking aplacebo will make you better. However, in fact, some people recover from their illnesses after
taking placebos. They believed that the medicines they took were real ones. In such a case,though it is a fake thing, it brings us a good thing.
Long ago, most doctors didnʼt like placebos. They thought placebos were fake and were notgood things. They said that placebos could not be used to cure diseases, and they used placebos
just to relax the patients. At that time, it was difficult for doctors to get enough information andmedicines for some diseases. Because of this, doctors had to use placebos for some patients when
they couldnʼt understand the disease or get real medicines. Doctors used pplacebos but neverthought that they were useful for curing diseases.

more interested in their health. So, reducing stress is becoming very important for us. People doa lot of things to reduce stress, such as taking some exercise, talking with other people, listening

Then he began to ② stress to each group. At the same time, the people in each group listened
to different types of radio programs. He watched the people carefully and found that the groupwhich listened to funny radio programs and laughed a lot felt the least stress. The doctor
