For many people today, reading is no longerrelaxation. To keep up their work they must readletters, reports, trade publications, interofficecommunications, not to mention newspapers andmagazine: a never-ending flood of words. In _31_ ajob or advancing in one, the ability to read andcomprehend _32_ can mean the difference betweensuccess and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is thatmost of us are_33_ readers. Most of us developpoor reading _34_ at an early age, and never getover them. The main deficiency _35_ in the actualstuff of language itself-words. Taken individually, words have _36_ meaning until they arestrung to gather into phrase, sentences and paragraphs. _37_, however, the untrained readerdoes not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to_38_ words or passages, Regression, the tendency to look back over _39_ you have justread, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which _40_ down the speed of reading isvocalization — sounding each word either orally or mentally as _41_ reads. To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an _42_, which movesa bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly fasterrate _43_ the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch” him. The accelerator forces thereader to read fast, _44_ word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization, practicallyimpossible. At fist _45_ is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts,you will not only read faster, _46_ your comprehension will improve.
