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(材料) 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.

The accelerator 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 Chalice Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute 54 the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute.
