Features: The British thinker Francis Bacon once said, "Reading makes a full man." The importance of reading in language learning is self-evident. However, the utilitarianism in Chinese English teaching for a long time has prevented learners from truly utilizing this tool, let alone savoring the joy it brings. Students only feel immense pressure. The magical world, ancient history, profound culture, and ever-changing lives hold so many invaluable treasures waiting to be explored and appreciated. At this moment, language, as a product of human civilization's evolution, perfectly serves to carry and pass on this heritage. As language learners, reading history, experiencing culture, and savoring life not only means improving language skills but also greatly enriching the emotional world. The content included in this series is difficult to be confined within conventional domain boundaries. From natural environments to social phenomena, from customs and traditions to myths and legends, from historical events to anecdotes of famous figures, it covers everything. It can tell us why the legend of King Arthur is so popular in the West, what life in Antarctica is like, some unknown stories of J.K. Rowling, the author of Harry Potter, and what exactly the "Internet Angel" of safety is. Its knowledge and entertainment value far surpass ordinary reading materials, making it a condensed version of world civilization history.
