I. Introduction
As we all know, Language can not exist away from culture. There is a close relationship between language and culture. Culture is an integrated system of learned behavior patterns that characteristics of members of any given society and it reflects to the total way of life of particular group of people (Zhang126). It includes everything that a group of people thinks and makes. Language is a mirror that can reflect culture. On the contrary, culture has effect on language. Learning a language is inseparable from learning its culture, although we use the actual language when we communicate with each other. However, the same statements may represent different meanings for different people. Barrey Tomalin thought that language is the carrier for culture. Each nation has its own particular customs and cultural background (1963). People always understand the things written by others using their own inherent way according to their own cultural background. Thus, it is difficult for us to understand the real meaning of the article when we are unfamiliar with the cultural background knowledge of British and American countries. It is an important way for people to absorb information and knowledge, especially for the junior school students. 浅谈文化背景知识在中学英语阅读教学中的应用:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_23429.html
