【题目】For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines—a never-ending flood of words. In 【1】 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend 【2】 can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us, are 【3】 readers. Most of us develop poor reading 【4】 at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency 【5】 in the actual stuff of language itself—words. Taken individually, words have 【6】 meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. 【7】 , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing (退回) to 【8】 words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over 【9】 you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which 【10】 down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as 【11】 reads.

To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an 【12】 , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined (预先确定的) speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate 【13】 the reader finds comfortable, in order to "stretch" him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, 【14】 word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization (默读) practically impossible. At first 【15】 is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, 【16】 your comprehension will improve. Many people have found 【17】 reading skill drastically improved after some training. 【18】 Charles Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 72 words a minute 【19】 the training, now it is an excellent 128 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can 【20】 a lot more reading material in a short period of time.
