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  Charlce Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute  19   the training, now it is an excellent 1,28 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can   20  a lot more reading material in a short period of time.

It was my birthday last Thursday. I decided to  36  by inviting a few friends out to supper. I chose a restaurant in a  37  part of town. It is one of my favorite restaurants because the food is good and the waiters are friendly. It is  38  ever crowded, because not many people know about it, so it is not usually  39  to book(预定) a table. In any case, Thursday is not a busy evening  40 .

When we entered the restaurant, we were surprised to find it completely  41 . I looked around but no  42  was free. One of the waiters recognized me. He came across and explained the situation. “A party of tourists(旅游团) came in about half an hour ago,” he said. “It was like an invasion (侵略).  43  the place was full! We can hardly manage (对付，应付).”

The waiter then pointed to a table in the corner. “The people there are about to  44 ,” he said. “Just hold on and you’ll  45  a place there.” He was right. Fifteen minutes later, the people  46  the corner table paid their  47 , got up and left. I led my friends across and we all sat down.

 48 , our table was almost out of sight. We tried to call the attention of the waiter who sent us there,   49  he, like all the other waiters, was  50  with the party of tourists. They ordered lots of food. At last, an hour later, the tourists were finishing their meal and looking very  51  with life. The waiter, now very tired, appeared at our table. I advised my friends about the best dishes and finally the waiter went off with our  52 .

A few moments later he returned to our table. We could tell from his face that he had  53  news for us.  54  a little sorry he told us that there was no meat or fish. “All we can  55  you,” he said, “is an omelet (煎蛋卷) !”
