Features: Reading, Thinking, and Applying are the latest research achievements in the international education field today and have now received high attention from domestic education and research experts. They are bound to bring about a revolution in secondary school teaching methods. "Reading" means transforming hard studying into smart learning, enabling students to fully grasp textbook knowledge; "Thinking" means helping students grasp the patterns of the knowledge they have learned and cultivate their thinking skills; "Applying" means equipping students with comprehensive ability and quality to excel in the current examination system.
