Passage 2

For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation.To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, inter-office communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In ___1___ 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 ___2___ readers. Most of us develop poor reading habits at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency ___3___ in the actual stuff of language itself --- words.Taken individually, words have little meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. ___4___ , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words.

The bar is set at a slightly faster rate ___7___ the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch” him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, making word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization, practically impossible. At first ___8___ is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, but your comprehension will improve. Many people have found ___9___ reading skill drastically improved after some training. Take Charlce Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute before the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute.
