For many people today, reading is no longer 【S1】______ . To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, not to 【S2】______ newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In getting a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend quickly can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 【S3】______ readers. Most of us develop poor reading habits at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency lies in the actual stuff of language itself--words. Taken individually, words have little meaning until they are put together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. 【S4】______ , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time; often regressing to reread words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over 【S5】______ , you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which 【S6】______ down the speed of reading is vocalization--sounding each word either orally or mentally as one reads.
To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an accelerator, which moves a bar (or a curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate 【S7】______ the reader finds comfortable, in order to "stretch" him. At first comprehension is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, 【S8】______ your comprehension will improve. Many people have found their reading skill improved after some training. 【S9】______ Charlie, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute before the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that now he can 【S10】______ a lot more reading material in a short period of time.
A) luxury B) poor C) what D) slow
E) Take F) Look at G) go over H) but
I) mention J) Unfortunately K) Logically L) relaxation
M) cut N) than O) get through

解析
空格处应填入动词过去分词。根据空格所在句前面一句中的“duller, shallower and less satisfying”,可以判断此处应为reduced。选项中另一动词enhance意为“提高”,显然不符合句意。
