The information I ______61______ (collect) in the last few years leads me to believe that speed reading may be less ______62______ (use) than most people think. The claim that you can read and comprehend over 30,000 words per minute is overstated. One researcher proved this in a study ______63______ irrelevant and illogical sentences were added to the text. The “speed readers” tested didn’t notice the irrelevant lines – the readers who read slowly spotted them immediately. I’ve interviewed people who have attended the introductory sessions ______64______ (offer) by some speed reading courses. ______65______ (them) stories indicate that improper methods are sometimes used to tell the courses. Here is how: First, you’re asked to read a passage from a book ______66______ which most persons would be unfamiliar. Your reading speed and comprehension are tested during this exercise. Then, after about half ______67______ hour of instruction, another reading test is given. But this time the reading is the one most Americans know well – such as Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Not ______68______ (surprising), persons attending these introductory sessions find that their “exit” speed and comprehension are better than their “entry” ______69______ (perform). I’m one of the fiction readers who appreciate the beauty in good writing. Occasionally I’ll read a passage or sentence over and over again just to let the beauty of its construction soak in (渗透). Good writing must be read carefully and thoughtfully ______70______ (appreciate).
