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 __36 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend 37 can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 38 readers. Most of us develop poor reading 39 at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency 40 in the actual stuff of language itself —words. Taken individually, words have 41 meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. 42 , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing（退回） to 43 words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over 44 you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which 45 down the speed of reading is vocalization —sounding each word either orally or mentally as 46 reads.

The device (设施） forces the reader to read fast, 49 word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization（默读）practically impossible. At first 50_ is sacrificed for speed．But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, 51 your comprehension will improve. Many people have found 52 reading skill drastically improved after some training. __53 Charlce Au, a business manager, for example, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute 54 the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can 55 a lot more reading material in a short period of time.
