For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. In (1) a job or ad- vancing in one, the
ability to read and comprehend (2) can mean the difference between success and failure. But the
unfortunate fact is that most of us are (3) read ers. Most of us develop poor reading (4) at an
early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency(缺乏,不足) lies (5) the actual stuff
of language itself-words. Taken individually, words have (6) meaning until they are strung
together into phrases, 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. Another habit which (10) down the speed of reading is vocalization (发声法), sounding
each word either or ally or mentallyas (11) reads.
To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an (12) , which moves a
bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate
(13) the reader finds comfortable, in order to "stretch" him. The accelerator forces the reader
to read fast, (14) word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization (默读), practically
impossible. At first (15) is sacrificed for speed. But when you leam to read ideas and concepts,
you will not only read faster, (16) your comprehension will improve. Many people have found their
reading skill drastically improved (17) some training. (18) Charlie Au, a business manager, for
instance, his reading rate was 172 words a minute (19) the training, which was reasonably good,
and now, amazingly, it is 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that now he can get (20) a lot
more reading material in a short period of time.

(4).A. training B. habits
C. situations D. custom(分数:1.00)
A.
B. √
C.
D.

yesterday was quite right.昨天莉萨所说的话完全正确。
(10).A. scales B. cuts

A.
B.
