The book is divided into four volumes. After mastering the second volume, students can smoothly pass the B-level exam, and after mastering the fourth volume, they can pass the A-level exam and even the National College English Test (CET-4). Some students passed CET-4 after completing the third volume. When asked why, they deeply reflected and said, "It's because we thoroughly studied, understood, and mastered the text.
