Practice Listening: Fill in the Blanks (Type In) ID: #37366 Medium Coffee 2
Instructions
* Fill in the missing words into the blank fields
A  lot  of  people  just  don't  feel  quite  human  without  that  morning  cup  of  coffee.  Now  a  study  finds  that  the  enhanced  sense  of  well-being  that  caffeine  can  cause  is    in  our  perception  of  words.  Specifically,  caffeine  increases  the  ability  to  recognize  words  associated  with  positive  thoughts,  but  doesn't  provide  the  same    for  words  with  negative  or  even  neutral  associations.  The  research  is  in  the  journal  PLOS  One.  Scientists  assigned  66  subjects  to  one  of  two  groups.  Half  got  a  200-milligram  caffeine  tablet,  a  dose    to  almost  three  cups  of  coffee.  The  other  half  received  a  sugar  tablet.  Thirty  minutes  later  the  volunteers  were  shown  strings  of  letters,  and  had  to  decide  as  fast  as  they  could  if  a    formed  a  word  or  was  just  gibberish.
