After 20 years of marriage, a husband may still not understand his wife. How is it that she is never

at a【C1】______for words? How can she【C2】______the names of a couple they met on【C3】______years ago? Now we know【C4】______to tell him: it' s her brain. Although there

are obviously cultural【C5】______for the differences in emotions and behavior,【C6】______breakthrough research reveals that the【C7】______of many puzzling differences between

men and women may【C8】______in the head. Men' s and women' s brains【C9】______much in common, but they are definitely not the same【C10】______size, structure or

insight. Broadly speaking, a woman' s brain, like her body, is ten to fifteen percent smaller

than a man ' s,【C11】______the regions dedicated to language may be more densely【C12】______with brain cells. Girls generally speak earlier and read faster. The reason may be【C13】______females use both sides of the brain when they read. In【C14】______, males rely only on

the left side. At every age, women' s memories【C15】______men' s. They have a

greater ability to【C16】______names with faces than men do, and they are【C17】______at

recalling list. The events people remember best are those that an emotion is attached to.【C18】______women use more of their right brains, which【C19】______emotions, they may do this

automatically. While we don' t yet know what all these findings imply, one thing is【C20】______: male and female brains do the same things, but they do them differently.

For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read

letters, reports, trade publications, **munications, not to mention newspapers and magazines—a

never-ending flood of words. In【C1】______a job or advancing in one, the ability to read

**prehend【C2】______can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate

fact is that most of us are【C3】______readers. Most of us develop poor reading【C4】______at an

early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency【C5】______in the actual stuff of

language itself—words. Taken individually, words have【C6】______meaning until they are strung

together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs.【C7】______, however, the untrained reader does

not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to【C8】______words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over【C9】______you have just

read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which【C10】______down the speed of

reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as【C11】______reads.

To **e these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an【C12】______, which moves a

bar(or curtain)down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate【C13】______the reader **fortable, in order to "stretch" him. The accelerator forces the reader to read

fast,【C14】______word-by-word reading, regression and sub vocalization practically impossible.

At first【C15】______is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you

will not only read faster,【C16】______**prehension will improve. Many people have found【C17】______reading skill drastically improved after some training.【C18】______Charlie Au, a business

manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute【C19】______the training, now it is an excellent 1 ,378 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can【C20】______a lot more reading materials in a short period of time.
