For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation.

In__1__ a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend __2__ can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are __3__ readers. Most of us develop poor reading __4__ at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency __5__ in the actual stuff of language itself-words. Taken individually, words have __6__ meaning until they are strung together into phrased, sentences and paragraphs. __7__ , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to __8__ words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over __9__ you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading.

Many people have found __17__ reading skill drastically improved after some training. __18__ Charlce Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute __19__ the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can __20__ a lot more reading material in a short period of time.
