Features: In recent years, with the further deepening of China's foreign exchanges, especially after China's entry into the WTO, the use of English as a communication tool has become increasingly valued. At the same time, it should also be recognized that having a solid command of Chinese is becoming increasingly important. How to improve English reading skills and Chinese reading skills is a crucial aspect of English teaching and Chinese teaching in secondary schools. This book series—Bilingual Reading Connecting English and Chinese—was designed based on this need. The book is divided into four major sections: The original texts are carefully selected to reflect authentic and engaging content, preserving the original flavor. The themes covered include various aspects of modern life, technology, and civilization, while also focusing on short essays closely related to students, such as learning methods, ideals and beliefs, experiencing life, and caring for humanity. These not only help students improve their reading skills but also broaden their knowledge. The training platform ensures that students gain meaningful insights and practice effectively. The questions are diverse and flexible, aligning with the principles of examination papers in China and the United States while also assessing students' overall understanding of the original texts. The translations are skillful and fluent, serving as a reference to enhance comprehension of the English originals. At the same time, reading with the translation side by side not only helps students understand the content but also teaches them some translation techniques. The comprehension and reflection sections are primarily thought-provoking, focusing on the overall understanding of the translated content, allowing students to expand their thinking space during free reading.
