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 phrased, sentences and paragraphs. __7__ , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing 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 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, 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 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can __20__ a lot more reading material in a short period of time.
