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______【51】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 ______【52】readers. Most of us develop poor reading habits at an early age, and never______【53】them. The main deficiency______【54】in the actual stuff of language itself — words. Taken individually, words have______【55】meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. ______【56】, 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______【57】you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which ______【58】down the speed of reading is vocalization — sounding each word either orally or mentally as one reads.
    To______【59】these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an accelerator, which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate than the reader finds comfortable, in order to "stretch" him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, ______【60】word-by-word reading, regression and sub-vocalization, practically impossible. At first______【61】is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, ______【62】your comprehension will improve. Many people have found their reading skill drastically improved after some training.______【63】Charlie Au, a business manager, for instance. His reading rate was a______【64】good 172 words a minute ______【65】the training; now it is an excellent 1, 378 words a minute. He is delighted that he can get through a lot more reading material in a short period of time.
