Features: The ability to read English plays a very important role in the entire process of English learning for middle school students. The newly issued English teaching syllabus for middle schools proposes that reading helps to expand vocabulary, enrich language knowledge, and improve language application skills. Especially at the high school level, reading is even more crucial to the success of future English learning. To provide high school students with a book they enjoy and that suits their reading level, this book is compiled by senior high school English teachers, selecting 170 articles. The material in this book covers a wide range of topics, including science and technology, society, culture, etc., but the background knowledge involved is mostly understandable for high school students. The articles vary in style, including narratives, expository texts, and argumentative essays. The language difficulty in the articles is aligned with the teaching syllabus. After each article, comprehension questions are provided to help assess the mastery of the reading material. These questions should not be ignored. However, the original purpose of this book is to gradually improve the reading comprehension skills of high school students through a step-by-step reading process.
