Features: This textbook follows the pattern of extensive reading learning, divided into four parts in its format: main text, vocabulary, annotations, and exercises, with reference answers appended at the end. The main text consists of complete original passages, with article selection based on the diversity of themes and genres, scientificity, timeliness, and practicality, striving for an appropriate level of difficulty, a balance of literary and factual content, and relevance to real-life situations to better meet the needs of pre-university Chinese learning. The vocabulary section lists and labels word types and pinyin but does not provide explanations, aiming to let students recognize the key words they need to master and understand and learn 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 and organizing paragraph meanings, training students in fast-reading methods and techniques, enabling them to gradually develop correct reading habits through exercises.
