　　 Until recently, dyslexia and other reading problems were
　　 a mystery to most teachers and parents. As a result, too many
　　 kids passed through school without master the printed page. S1_______
　　 Some were treated as mentally deficient; many were left
　　 functionally illiterate(文盲的), unable to ever meet their
　　 potential. But in the last several years, there’s been a
　　 revolution in that we’ve learned about reading and dyslexia. S2_______
　　 Scientists are using a variety of new imaging techniques to
　　 watch the brain at work. Their experiments have shown that
　　 reading disorders are most likely the result of what is, in an effect, S3_______
　　 faulty writing in the brain-not lazy, stupidity or a poor home S4________
　　 environment. There’s also convincing evidence which dyslexia S5________
　　 is largely inherited. It is now considered a chronic problem
　　 for some kids, not just a “phase”. Scientists have also
　　 discarded another old stereotype that almost all dyslexics are
　　 boys. Studies indicate that many girls are affecting as well- S6________
　　 and not getting help.
　　 At same time, educational researchers have come up S7________
　　 with innovative teaching strategies for kids who are having
　　 trouble learning to read. New screening tests are identifying
　　 children at risk before they get discouraged by year of S8________
　　 frustration and failure. And educators are trying to get the
　　 message to parents that they should be on the alert for the
　　 first signs of potential problems.
　　 It’s an urgent mission. Mass literacy is a relative new S9________
　　 social goal. A hundred years ago people didn’t need to be
　　 good readers in order to earn a living. But in the Information
　　 Age, no one can get by with knowing how to read well and S10________
　　 understand increasingly complex material.
