English reading as the necessary capacity of international exchange and cooperation has become the basic quality requirements for modern human。 English as a language course, teachers should understand how to improve students' English reading ability。 It is very important for the majority of English teachers to find a new way to cultivate students’ reading ability。 The National English Curriculum lays a special emphasis on developing students’ reading ability。 New course books like New Senior English for China (NSFC) by People’s Education Press also attach due importance to reading comprehension。 (Cao 220)

Now many people are studying how to quickly learn the English grammar, how to memorize English vocabulary and so on。 Besides, teachers pay more and more attention to grammar translation and explaining without noticing cultivating students’ ability of reading。 It can indeed reinforce the student's foundation and be conducive to English learning, but too much emphasis on the basis of students and ignorance on the practical ability of students。 Although a short period of time can see the results, it is insufficient for long-term learning in the future。 Therefore, it is crucial to find a way to reinforce the foundation and facilitate students’ study in future learning。 People believe that reading can play such a role。 People often say that “the word does not leave the sentence, the sentence does not leave the paragraph, the paragraph cannot separate from the article”。 This shows the importance of English reading。 English learning is inseparable from reading。 However, few people are willing to study on how to improve English reading ability, because it is time-consuming and laborious, and improved cycle is too long。 In order to improve secondary school students English learning and help them get more information, it is quite necessary to cultivate reading ability。
