　　Exercise is 14 important part of 15 to improve your reading. For a 16 time every day make an 17 to read a little faster and to see more at each glace. A good 18 makes only two or three stops on an ordinary line of print, a poor reader stops for 19 every word. An excellent reader will see an entire line without moving his 20 from left to right.
