sp;of  students' knowledge development. It is urgent for teachers and educational researchers to do something according to the current problems of English reading and teaching in junior high schools. The paper will show the significance of the research in theoretical aspects and the practical aspects. After  analyzing  the  relevant  literatures  and  the  current  situation  of  English  reading  and  teaching,  it  is  obvious  that  most  of  researches  are  just  confined  to  the  theoretical  level,  and most of researches are about vocabulary or writing learning and teaching. The author teaches English  reading  based  on  Mind  Map  about  one  term  in  Hong  Wen  junior  high  school.  And from  the  data  and  results  of  two  tests  and  the  post-questionnaire,  the  author  finds  that students’ reading performance and their reading interests in the experimental class have been improved. Meantime, Mind Map also helps students read more quickly and happily.  There  are  few  empirical  researches  on  the  application  of  Mind  Map  in  English  reading teaching. Therefore, this research intends to apply a new method to English reading teaching and  to  cultivate  students'  reading  habits.  The  students’  ages  are  about  13-16  in  junior  high school, so they prefer the game-like class activities to traditional teacher leading class mode. In the process of drawing the Mind Map, the colors, numbers, lines definitely are used, which can  bring  pleasure  to  students  apart  from  stimulating  their  creativity  and  imagination. Comparing to the traditional teaching method, Mind Map can help teachers organize teaching activities  more  effectively  with  the  application  of  colors  and  numbers.  Besides,  the  students can construct meaningful relations between the new information and the knowledge they have learned  before,  which  help  them  understand  the  materials  better  and  more  thoroughly. Because in this process, the previous knowledge can be taken as the background information that  makes  students  retrieve  useful  and  relevant  information  from  memory  to  help  them understand  the  new  knowledge.  The  application  of  Mind  Map  can  help  students  understand the structure and the main topic of reading material easily and quickly. As a matter of fact, the Mind Map strategy is conducive to students' ability in radiant and logical thinking. The above is the practical significance of the research.
