Practice Reading: Reading and Writing Fill in the Blanks ID: #48205 Vibrating Pill
Instructions
Scientists  have  developed  a  vibrating  pill  that  may  help  dieters  feel  full  and  eat  less.  The  pill,  which  is  swallowed  before  a  meal,  contains  a  tiny  motor  that  is    by  stomach  acid.  The  motor  makes  the  pill  vibrate,  stimulating  the  stomach  wall  and  creating  a    of  satiety.  The  pill  was  tested  on  pigs,  who  ate  almost  40%    food  after  ingesting  the  capsule.  The  researchers,  from  the  University  of  Wisconsin-Madison  and  the  University  of  Texas  at  San  Antonio,  hope  to  conduct  human  trials  soon.  They  believe  the  pill  could  be  a  safe  and  effective  alternative  to  invasive  weight-loss  surgeries  or  drugs  with    effects.  The  pill  is  designed  to  pass  through  the  digestive  system  naturally  after  a  few  hours.
