1.
Current and Academic Topics: The textbook texts mainly cover current and academic topics, but are written in an easy and fun way suitable for middle and high school students.

2.
Expanding Background Knowledge: Each unit consists of two reading passages under a single topic, providing a variety of useful content to broaden students' background knowledge.

3.
Reading Skills Practice: Develop faster and more strategic reading skills through reading skill corners such as Skimming, Scanning, Understanding the main idea, and Inferring meaning, as well as application problems.

4.
Long Reading Practice: Students who don't read a lot of long passages often have difficulty reading long passages.
To address this, we have included interesting and logically structured texts to help you practice reading long passages.
Additionally, summary-type questions are included for each passage to improve your ability to understand and summarize the passage.

5. TOEFL Test Preparation: A separate TOEFL corner provides a chance to experience the actual test by solving TOEFL-type questions.

6.
Strengthen Vocabulary Learning: The foundation of reading comprehension is vocabulary skills.
You can learn key vocabulary for each unit through English definitions, and learn about collocations, synonyms, and antonyms in the Word Focus corner.
Effective vocabulary learning is achieved by reviewing key words and important expressions using the Word Review Test and the vocabulary list provided as an appendix.
