Features: This textbook follows the principles of extensive reading, divided into four parts: main text, vocabulary, annotations, and exercises, with reference answers appended at the end. The main text consists of complete original passages, with selections based on the diversity of themes and genres, scientific accuracy, timeliness, and practicality, aiming for an appropriate level of difficulty and a balance between literary and factual content, closely related to real-life situations to better meet the needs of pre-university Chinese language learning. The vocabulary section lists and labels word types and pinyin but does not provide explanations, intending to let students recognize the key words they need to master and understand and grasp them independently. The annotations section explains idioms, colloquialisms, and common expressions found in the text (with a focus on Chinese culture), helping students understand and use them correctly. The exercises section primarily focuses on practice around key words and sentences in the text and summarizing anding paragraph meanings, training students in fast-reading methods and techniques, enabling them to gradually develop correct reading habits through exercises.
