For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation.To keep up their work they must read letters, reports,trade publications, interoffice communications, not tomention newspapers and magazines: a never-endingflood of words. In    51    a job or advancing in one, theability to read and comprehend    52    can mean thedifference between success and failure. Yet theunfortunate fact is that most of us are    53   readers.Most of us develop poor reading    54   at an early age, and never get over them. Themain deficiency   55    in the actual stuff of language itself-words. Taken individually,words have    56    meaning until they are strung together into phrased, sentences andparagraphs.    57    , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. Helaboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to    58    words or passages.Regression, the tendency to look back over    59    you have just read, is a common badhabit in reading. Another habit which    60    down the speed of reading isvocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as    61    reads.
　　To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an    62    ,which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar isset at a slightly faster rate    63   the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch”him.The accelerator forces the reader to read fast,    64    word-by-word reading,regression and subvocalization, practically impossible. At first    65   is sacrificed forspeed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster,    66    your comprehension will improve. Many people have found    67   reading skilldrastically improved after some training.    68   Charlce Au, a business manager, forinstance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute    69    thetraining, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can   70    a lot more reading material in a short period of time.
