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.

Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are ______【52】readers. Most of us develop poor reading habits at an early age, and never______【53】them. The main deficiency______【54】in the actual stuff of language itself — words. Taken individually, words have______【55】meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. ______【56】, however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words.

Many people have found their reading skill drastically improved after some training.______【63】Charlie Au, a business manager, for instance. His reading rate was a______【64】good 172 words a minute ______【65】the training; now it is an excellent 1, 378 words a minute. He is delighted that he can get through a lot more reading material in a short period of time.
