The amazing success of humans as a (91) is the result of the evolutionary development of our brains which has led, among other things, to tool-using, tool-making, the (92) to solve problems by logical reasoning, thoughtful cooperation, and language. One of the most striking ways in which chimpanzees biologically (93) humans (94) in structure of their brains. The chimpanzee, with the capacity for (95) reasoning, (96) a type of intelligence more like that of humans than (97) any other mammal living today. The brain of the modern chimpanzee is probably not too dissimilar (98) the brain that so many millions of years ago (99) the behavior of the first ape man. For a long time, the fact that prehistoric people made (100) was considered to be one of the major (101) distinguishing them from other creatures.

It is tree that the chimpanzee does not (104) tools to "a regular and set pattern"—but then, (105) people, before their development of stone tools, undoubtedly poked around (106) sticks, and straws, at which stage it seems (107) , that they made tools to a set pattern either. It is because of the close (108) in most people’s minds of tools with humans (109) special attention has always been focused upon any animal able to use an object as a tool: but it is important to realize that this ability, on its own, does not necessarily indicate any special intelligence in the creature (110) .
Many science reports discuss medical studies that test the effect of a new drug. Usually, a large number of people is divided into two groups. Each group takes a different substance. But no one knows which group is getting which substance. One group takes the medicine being tested. Another group takes what we call an inactive substance. Medical researchers call this substance a "placebo." The word "placebo" is Latin for "I shall please." Placebo pills(宽心丸)usually are made of sugar. Using placebos to test drugs sometimes has a surprising result. Researchers say people taking the placebo often report improvements in their health. This is known as "the placebo effect"--pain that is eased or stopped by an inactive substance. In such testing, the drug must perform better than the placebo to prove that it is effective. Doctors have reported that the placebo effect can be used in treatment. For example, a doctor tells a patient that a new drug will stop the pain in his leg. The pill is only sugar. But the patient does not know that. He takes the pill and says his pain is gone. Scientists are beginning to discover some physical reasons for this reaction in some people. They are learning that much of what people believe to be true comes from what the brain expects is going to happen. If the brain believes a drug will ease pain, the brain may begin physical changes in the body that can cause the expected effect. A recent examination of studies on drugs for depression found that placebos eased the depression about as well as the active drugs. Other studies have explored the power of placebos. A study in Japan involved thirteen people who reacted to the poison ivy (常青藤)plant. Poison-ivy causes red itchy sores(伤痕)on some people who touch it. Each person was rubbed on one arm with a harmless leaf, but was told it was poison ivy. Each person was then touched on the other arm with poison ivy, but was told it was a harmless leaf. All thirteen people developed a reaction on the arm where the harmless leaf touched their skin. Only two reacted to the poison ivy leaves. Doctors and scientists worry that the use of placebos may not always be harmless. They say people can become victims of false doctors and others who use placebos to claim they can cure disease. Placebo pills usually are made of ______.
