1. Introduction
According to English Curriculum for Junior Middle School, the purpose of junior English teaching is to enlarge students’ vocabulary, develop their basic skills of reading comprehension, build up the sense of English language, master the reading strategies, but the most important thing is to train students’ English-reading ability. As one of the four basic skills of learning English, reading is holding a central position in the New English Curriculum Standard. Hu chundong (1998:12) regarded that reading is actually a procedure of comprehension, i.e. a comprehension of information in the text. That doesn’t mean learners only understand the meaning of text literally, but know the connotation of the text. Every teacher has noticed the significance of reading and pays more attention to reading teaching. However, there exist some problems in current English reading teaching.
