Cloze　Test　4　 
　　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.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.Another　habit　which　10　down　the　speed　of　reading　is　vocalization—sounding　each　word　either　orally　or　mentally　as　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,　practically　impossible.　At　first　15　is　sacrificed　for　speed.But　when　
you　learn　to　read　ideas　and　concepts,　you　will　not　only　read　faster,　16　your　
comprehension　will　improve.　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.
