Features: This textbook provides systematic and diverse extracurricular reading materials for non-English majors, aiming to cultivate students' proficiency in applying reading skills, accurately understanding passages, expanding their knowledge and cultural horizons, and enhancing their reading comprehension and appreciation.
Book Structure: The textbook is divided into six volumes, with each volume containing 8 units. Each unit includes 3 reading passages, totaling 24 passages. Each unit consists of the following five parts:
1. An Introduction is provided before each passage to stimulate students' interest in reading and give them a preliminary understanding of the main content and cultural background of the article.
2. New words and language difficulties in each passage are presented in marginal notes to promptly remove comprehension obstacles for students during reading, allowing them to focus on discourse-level understanding.
3. The selection of passages in each unit aligns with the themes of the corresponding unit in the "Comprehensive Coursebook," aiming to provide students with more "input" on the same topic, which naturally also helps with related "output." The other two passages cover different themes.
4. The textbook includes various exercise formats such as multiple-choice questions, true-or-false questions, English-Chinese translation exercises, short-answer questions, vocabulary-definition matching exercises, and thinking-discussion questions. Each passage is followed by three or four exercise formats. The purpose of the exercises is to guide students in further understanding the passages and resolving language difficulties, thereby improving their analytical and summarizing skills.
