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 36 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend 37 can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 38 readers. Most of us develop some poor reading 39 at an early age, and never get over them. The main difficulty 40 in the actual stuff of language itself ---words. Taken individually, words have 41 meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. 42 , the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, regressing to 43 words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over 44 you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which 45 down the speed of reading is vocalization----sounding each word either orally or mentally as 46 reads.
To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an 47 ,which moves a bar(or curtain)down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate 48 the reader finds comfortable in order to “stretch” him . The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, 49 word-by-word reading, regression and vocalization practically impossible. At first 50 is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, 51 your comprehension will improve. Many people have found 52 reading skill drastically improved after some training. 53 Chalice Au, a business manager, for example , his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute 54 the training ,now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can 55 a lot more reading materials in a short time.

42. A. Fortunately B In fact C. Logically D. Unfortunately
43. A. reuse B. reread C. rewrite D. recite
44. A. what B. which C. that D. if
45. A. scales B. cuts C. slows D. measures

How do successful people think What drives them Interviews and investigations indicate that there are several keys to success that successful people share.
First of all, successful people never blame someone or something outside of themselves for their failure to go ahead. They realize that their future lies in their own hands. They understand that they cannot control things in life, such as nature, the past and other people. But in the meantime, they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions. They take responsibility for their life and regard this as one of the most empowering (给人以权力的) things they can do. Perhaps what most separate successful people from others is that they live life “on purpose” — they are doing what they believe they are put here to do. In their opinion, having a purpose in their life is the most important element that enables them to become fully functioning people. They hold that when they live their life on purpose, their main concern is to do the job right. They love what they do — and it shows. People want to do business with them because of their commitment (投入，献身). To live their life on purpose, successful people find a cause they believe in and create a business around it. Besides, they never easily give up. Once they have set up goals in their life, they are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Top achievers always bear in mind that they don’t have forever. Rather than seeing it negative or depressing, they use the knowledge to spur themselves on and go after what they want energetically and passionately.
68. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage
A. How do people live their life on pu rpose B. How can people be successful
C. How do people make plans D. How do people do business
69. The underlined word “spur” in Para. 2 most probably means ______.
A. encourage B. excite C. relieve D. compel
70. By living life “on purpose” successful people can _______.
A. do a lot of work B. concentrate on their jobs
C. do business with many people D. do all of the above-mentioned
