单选题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 poor reading (39) at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency (40) in the actual stuff of language itself—words. Taken individually, words have (41) meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and para-graphs. (42) , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often 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.

单选题Taking charge of yourself involves putting to rest some very prevalent myths. At the top of the list is the notion that intelligence is measured by your ability to solve complex problems; to read, write and compute at certain levels; and to resolve abstract equations quickly. This vision of intelligence asserts formal education and bookish excellence as the true measures of self-fulfillment. It encourages a kind of intellectual prejudice that has brought with it some discouraging results. We have come to believe that someone who has more educational merit badges, who is very good at some form of school discipline is "intelligent. " Yet mental hospitals are filled with patients who have all of the properly lettered certificates. A truer indicator of intelligence is an effective, happy life lived each day and each present moment of every day. If you are happy, if you live each moment for everything it's worth, then you are an intelligent person. Problem solving is a useful help to your happiness, but if you know that given your inability to resolve a particular concern you can still choose happiness for yourself, or at a minimum refuse to choose unhappiness, then you are intelligent. You are intelligent because you have the ultimate weapon against the big N.B.D. — Nervous Break Down. "Intelligent" people do not have N.B.D. s because they are in charge of themselves. They know how to choose happiness over depression, because they know how to deal with the problems of their lives. You can begin to think of yourselves truly intelligent on the basis of how you choose to feel in the face of trying circumstances. The life struggles are pretty much the same for each of us. Everyone who is involved with other human-beings in any social context has similar difficulties. Disagreements, conflicts and compromises are a part of what it means to be human. Similarly, money, growing old, sickness, deaths, natural disasters and accidents are all events which present problems to virtually all human beings. But some people are able to make it, to avoid immobilizing depression and unhappiness despite such occurrences, while others collapse or have an N.B.D. Those who recognize problems as a human condition and don't measure happiness by an absence of problems are the most intelligent kind of humans we know; also, the most rare.

单选题The human eye is still uncivilized. Thousands of years ago poets made up songs and chanted them for eager ears. These songs were handed down by word of mouth. For a long time they were not written, since no one, a song maker or a listener, thought of writing books. When writing was finally developed, it was used very little at first. Only a few precious records were carved on stone. Eventually, men began to use less bulky writing materials — skins and various paper — like fibers, such as the Egyptian papyrus. For hundreds of years, everything was written by hand. Printing was invented by Chinese, and was first used in Europe in the twelfth century. It was not until 1475, however, shortly before Columbus sailed for America, that William Caxton printed first book in English. Even after that, books were so rare that few people used their eyes for reading. Not until much later did they become concerned about how to prevent their eyes from getting tired when reading. Your eyes get tired for several reasons. If you spend only five minutes reading your eyes may make over one thousand separate stops and starts as they move across the page. These many and rapid movements often tire your eyes. It is also more tiring to do close work than to look in the distance. When you read or write, certain eye muscles tighten up or contract, when you look in the distance, these eye muscles can relax, and that rests them. When you looked at the title of this article, perhaps you asked, what is reading hygiene? Hygiene tells us how to live comfortably and healthfully, it helps us to make the best use of our bodies. Reading hygiene tells us how to make the best use of our eyes — how to prevent eyestrain and how to read more comfortably. When you misuse your eyes, they let you know in various ways. Your eyes may hurt and your eyelids become red. You may not be able to see clearly. You may have headaches, feel dizzy, or be uncomfortable in other ways. Every day you have many opportunities to use your eyes wisely and well.
