Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #49339 Brainpower
Instructions
You  may  have  heard  that  humans  only  use  10  percent  of  their  brain  power,  and  that  if  you  could    the  rest  of  your  brainpower,  you  could  do  so  much  more.  You  could  become  a  super  genius,  or  acquire  psychic  powers  like  mind  reading  and  telekinesis.  However,  there  is  a  powerful  body  of  evidence    the  10  percent  myth.  Scientists  have  consistently  shown  that  humans  use  their  entire  brain  throughout  each  day.  Despite  the  evidence,  the  10  percent  myth  has  inspired  many  references  in  the  cultural  imagination.  Films  like  "Limitless"  and  "Lucy"    protagonists  who  develop  godlike  powers  thanks  to  drugs  that  unlock  the  previously    90  percent  of  the  brain.  A  2013  study  showed  that  about  65  percent  of  Americans  believe  the  trope,  and  a  1998  study  showed  that  a  full  third  of  psychology  majors,  who  focus  on  the  workings  of  the  brain,  fell  for  it.
