Features: This book is a supplementary intensive reading textbook for the preparatory level of "College English," designed for students in the preparatory first level of English at university. The entire book consists of sixteen lessons, suitable for one semester of study. Each lesson is composed of pre-reading prompts, text, vocabulary, notes, and exercises. The purpose of the pre-reading prompts is not only to set requirements for students' pre-class preparation but also to gradually cultivate their good reading habits through "pre-reading self-check questions." The texts are all selected from original sources and have been carefully rewritten. The rewriting aims to achieve simple, natural, and idiomatic language while being rich in content, interesting, and possessing a certain depth of thought. The exercises are not designed to be innovative but simply review and reinforce the main language, grammar, and vocabulary concepts that students have already learned in middle school, but at a new level. This book is accompanied by a teacher's manual for reference during lesson preparation. To address the current shortage of teachers in schools and meet the needs of first and second-level students for extra-curricular review, consolidation, and deepening of their English foundation knowledge and skills, this book is also equipped with recordings by American experts and videos that can be directly used in classroom teaching.
