Complete the following passage by using the words in the box．Each word can only be used once．Note that there is one word more than you need．
There is no doubt that people and even highly educated adults vary greatly in the speed and efficiency of their reading．Some proceed very slowly throughout; others dash along too quickly and then have to go back．Poor readers in particular may lack the 1 to vary their pace in reading．A great reader can move at great speed through the text of a novel or 2 light reading materials．He may be able to skim a page, 3 a word or two here and there, and gain a 4 idea what the text is about without really reading it．In reading more difficult materials, with the intension of taking in the whole of it, he proceeds more slowly, but even then he will vary his pace, 5 on the key words and passages and pass more quickly over the remainder．A less efficient reader, however, tends to 6 the same speed whatever materials he reads． 7 , even light reading materials require special concentration at difficult points．
A type of reading which requires careful attention to 8 is proofreading(校对), in which the reader, in order to detect misprints in a sample print, has to notice not so much the meaning of what he reads．This is extremely difficult for most people, since they are accustomed to overlooking such details．In fact, extreme practice is required to 9 this task efficiently and it can be done only by reading very slowly, and by paying comparatively little attention to the general meaning on the text．
