3.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 getting a job advancing,the ability to read and comprehend (47)A can mean the difference between success and failure.Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are (48)D readers.Most of us develop poor reading habits at an early age,and never (49)C them.The main shortage lies in the actual stuff of language itself-words.Taken individually,words have little(50)B until they are combined together into phrases,sentences and paragraphs.Unfortunately,(51)A,the untrained reader does not read groups of words.He read one word at a time with difficulty,often regressing to (52)B words or passages.Regression,namely,the tendency to look back over what you have just read,is a common(53)A habit in reading.Another bad habit which (54)D the speed of reading is vocalization-sounding each word either (55)A or mentally as one reads.
To overcome these bad habits,some reading clinics use a device called an accelerator,which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed.The bar is set a slightly (56)B rate than the reader finds comfortable,in order to"(57)D"him.The accelerator forces the reader to read fast,making word-by-word reading,regression and sub-vocalization,practically (58)B.At first comprehension is (59)C speed.But when you learn to read ideas and concepts,you will not only read faster,but your comprehension will improve.Many people have found their reading skill (60)A improved after some training.Take Charles Au,a business manager,for instance,his reading rate was a reasonably good 172words a minute before the training,now it is an excellent 1,378words a minute.He is delighted that now he can go through a lot more reading material in a(n) (61)C period of time.
