Common sense suggests that the answers to these questions depend on “readability” -whether the (2) _ matter is interesting, the argument clear and the (3) _ attractive But psychologists are discovering that to (4) _ why people read - and often don’t read - technical information, they have to examine not so much the writing as the reader

Psychologists researching reading tend to assume that both beginners and (7) _ readers read everything put in front of them from start to finish There are (8) _ among them about the role of eyes, memory and brain during the process Some believe that fluent readers take (9) _ every letter or word they see; others (10) _ that readers rely on memory or context to carry them from one phrase to another But they have always assumed that the reading process is the same: reading starts, comprehension occurs, then reading stops

H. where you can see

You no longer need to leave your house in order to shop!

Of course there are disadvantages If you live on your own, especially if you don’t work or perhaps don’t leave the house much, (4) _ Also, if you don’t actually go to the shop, you can’t try to get another 10% off the price! Another problem could be if you are buying clothes – you may need to return some things if they don’t fit properly or if the color looks different (5) _
