问题      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  【21】______   a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend  【22】______   can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are  【23】______   readers. Most of us develop poor reading  【24】______   at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency  【25】______   in the actual stuff of language itself—words. Taken individually, words have  【26】______   meaning until they are strung together into phraseds, sentences and paragraphs  【27】______   , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of wor. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to  【28】______   words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over  【29】______   you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which  【30】______   down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as  【31】______   reads.
     To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an  【32】______   , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate  【33】______   the reader finds comfortable, in order to "stretch" him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast,  【34】______   word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization, practically impossible. At first  【35】______   is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster,  【36】______   your comprehension will improve. Many people have found  【37】______   reading skill drastically improved after some training.  【38】______   Charlce Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute  【39】______   the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can  【40】______   a lot more reading material in a short period of time.
