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【C1】______a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend can【C2】______mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are【C3】______readers. Most of us develop poor reading【C4】______at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency【C5】______in the actual stuff of language itself—words. Taken individually, words have【C6】______meaning until they are strung together to form phrases, sentences and paragraphs.
【C7】______, however, the untrained reader doesn’t read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to【C8】______words of passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over【C9】______you have just read, is a common bad reading habit. Another habit which【C10】______down the speed of reading is vocalization — sounding each word either orally or mentally as【C11】______reads.
   To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an【C12】______, which moves a bar( or curtain)down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate【C13】______the reader finds comfortable, in order to "stretch" him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast,【C14】______word-by-word reading, regression, and subvocalization, practically impossible. At first【C15】______is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster,【C16】______your comprehension will improve. Many people have found【C17】______reading skills drastically improved after such training.【C18】______Charles Lau, a business manager, for instance, his reading speed was a reasonably good 172 words a minute【C19】______the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that now he can【C20】______a lot more reading material during a short period of time.
