The paper illustrates the definition, contents, characteristics and application of the method which is easy to master and apply. The paper aims at supplying readers especially beginners of E/S/FL (English as second/foreign language) with a practical passage reading method so as to improve their reading efficiency. The paper has some practical significance and directing value.展开更多
