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.
