Features: The entire textbook series was written by Fudan University, Peking University, East China Normal University, Renmin University of China, Wuhan University, and Nanjing Tech University, with Dong Yafen of Fudan University serving as the chief editor. This volume is part of the intensive reading section and contains ten units. Each unit consists of nine parts: text, vocabulary, notes, exercises, reading exercises, and guided writing. The selection of materials aims for diversity in themes and genres, with rich, interesting, and thought-provoking content. When explaining the texts, the focus is on the overall content while also analyzing the usage of common words and phrases. This approach prevents the neglect of overall content in favor of isolated language points or the disregard of language foundation training in favor of content. The vocabulary definitions are presented in both English and Chinese. The notes are written in simple English as much as possible.
