1. Introduction
Reading, as one of the four basic learning skills of English, is a main access of language input. It is the main approach to get foreign information and enjoy foreign literature. Reading builds a bridge between the author and reader and help readers obtain knowledge. Reading is of great significance for language learners. The proper use of reading strategies would help English learners improve their English reading ability. Researchers generally believed that the students’ basic reading strategies could help them improve the reading levels. Since the 1970s, a large number of experiments proved the effectiveness of teaching reading strategies. Some researchers (O’Malley and Chamot, 1990; Chamot &Kupper, 1989; Oxford ,1990) had found that there was a close relationship between strategy use and academic achievements, in other words, the correlation between the proper use of reading strategies and examination results. 初中英语阅读策略调查研究:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_49542.html
