I took home a briefcase full of troubles . As I sat down on that hot and damp  36  , there seemed to be no  37   to the problems hanging around in my brain . So I picked up a book , settled into a comfortable chair and  38  my own special therapy (疗法):  39  reading .

I  40  three or four hours on two short chapters of Personal History by Vincent Sheean—tasting each paragraph , staying over a sentence , a phrase , or even a single word , building a detailed mental picture of the scene . No longer was I in Sydney , Australia , on a sticky hot night . Enjoying every word , I  41  foreign journalist Vincent Sheean on a tour to China and another to Russia . I was  42  in the author’s world . And when finally I put it down , my mind was totally  43 .

Next morning , four words from the book—“take the long  44 ” were still in my mind . At my desk , I had a long-view look at my  45  . Once more , super-slow-reading had given me not only  46  but perspective (视角), and helped me in my everyday affairs .

I discovered its  47  years ago . Before that , if I had been really interested in a book , I would  48  from page to page ,  49  to know what came next . Now , I decided , I had to become a miser (守财奴)with  50  and stretch every sentence like a poor man spending his last dollar .

I had started with the practical object of making my book last . But by the end of the second week I began to realize  51  I was getting from super-slow-reading itself . Sometimes just a particular phrase  52  my attention , sometimes a sentence . I would read it slowly, analyze it , read it again—perhaps changing down into an even  53  speed—and then sit for 20 minutes thinking about it before moving on . I was like a pianist  54  a piece of music , phrase by phrase , practicing it , trying to discover and  55  exactly what the composer(作曲家) was trying to convey.

For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up with their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications: a never-ending flood of words. In getting a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend quickly can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are poor readers.

Most reading faults can be traced to early school training. According to Dr. Betts, two persons out of five in school were forced to read material too difficult for them to understand at the time, a frustration experience which left them with bad reading habits.

Fortunately, almost anyone can learn to read faster and with more comprehension. Age makes little difference. According to a recent study of 138 students at The Reading Laboratory, Inc. , all age groups showed a marked increase in reading rate after training from 93 percent for the 50-90 age group to 142 percent for the 20-29.Dr. Mila Banton Smith, director of New York University’s Reading Institute, says that the average adult student, in 28 training hours, nearly triples (三倍的) his reading speed and boosts(增长) his comprehension by about 30 percent.

The best way to improve your reading, of course, is to enroll(登记) in a reading clinic. If there’s no clinic handy, you can improve your reading ability yourself--- provided you have no eyes troubles. (if reading tires you easily or makes your eyes or head ache, you should consult a doctor.)

To many people today, _______.

A. reading quickly is easy

B. reading quickly and comprehending quickly can ensure their success

C. reading is only for fun

D. reading can ensure their success

Most reading faults are_______

A. due to early school training

B. a frustrating experience

C. made by reading difficult materials

D. made by reading carelessly

Who can learn to read fast and with comprehension?

A. teachers only         B. students only

C. a few people          D. almost everybody

According to the passage, what is the best way to improve one’s reading?

A. go to a doctor

B. review what has been learnt at school

C. go to reading remedial class for special training

D. consult a dictionary

It was just getting dark. There was a touch of fog and I was on a lonely stretch of road.   36 I was going along cheerfully, thinking about the dinner I would eat when I got to Salistury .
I was going along   37 at about thirty-five miles an hour when suddenly I heard a scream, a  38 scream--- “ Help! ” I looked round, but the only   39 of life was a large, black, rather suspicious--looking(可疑的)car just   40  a bend in the road about a hundred yards away. That was where the cry had come from. I   41  speed and went after it. I think the driver saw what I was doing, for he did the same and began to draw   42  me.

The door of the car was pushed open angrily and a dark, evil-looking fellow stepped out .
“You fool!” he shouted as he came towards me with his fist raised to hit me. But I was   51   than he. I put all I could into   52  that would have knocked out Joe Louis. It   53  him right on the point of the chin; his   54  slowly bent under him, and he dropped to the ground without a sound. I rushed to the car,   55  open the door and looked inside. There was no girl there. Suddenly from the back of the car came a voice.
“You have been listening to a radio play, Murder in Hollywood, with Mae Garbo and Clark Taylor. The news will follow immediately . ”
