1.1 Background of the Study
As an important receptive language skill, reading is of great importance incollege English learning. Good reading proficiency enables the students to useEnglish as a tool to obtain information and knowledge. College English CurriculumRequirements (2004)illustrates that ‘Students are expected to be able to employeffective reading strategies while reading…Students should be able to skim or scanreading materials…should be able to get a correct understanding of the main ideas,major facts and relevant details…and to read English literature related to their areasof specialty without much difficulty…’Whereas, having studied English for so manyyears, ta large number of Chinese college students’ reading performance is still farfrom satisfactory.

Poor performance, lowinterest, lack of motivation and confidence and negative attitude towards learning arethe problems they faced with in English learning. The traditional teaching model isone of the vital reasons to account for this phenomenon.
