Teaching reading comprehension is not purely out of reading materials to impart knowledge is not a word or sentence. It is final purpose not to read the new knowledge in the material. Reading is a skill， and is an instrument. The students understand the world through reading. English reading play crucial roles of learning foreign language in their lives， while they are junior high school students. In English teaching， if teachers only analyze the reading material single， the students will read as a symbol of printing. The only premise of reading articles is the structure the words. Whichever material taken with a pattern， chewed and digested， weighted every word， from above to below， and from words to sentences.

At present， the English teaching in many schools， some teachers are satisfy for the demands of the examination， many teachers keep on the reading activities overall planning， only focused training， and ignored the reading techniques of instruction. This kind of modus operandi is wrong， the teacher should constantly remind students they are the language learners while reading， instead of the examinee in the examination. A good language learner often derives pabulum by the greatest extent or degree from the finite material， with the appreciate mentality participate into the reading. He/She knows will pay attention to key points in any place， where should be read carefully or skimming. The teacher in teaching reading should be as a "pilot" and to prevent students lose their orientation in the lots of exercises.

The good material should be not too difficult or too easy， no too much new words and complexity sentences， the materials should be hold on such a principle： students are "not too easy to do" or "too difficult cant do". The difficulty materials for students， easy to dampen the enthusiasm of the students to participate in reading， and not cultivate the confidence of the students. The easy article make students feel smooth， cannot get the effect of reading. Therefore， the teacher should choose the language materials according to the students practical level. For the difficult words and sentences， students should according to the content and context of material， making a reasonable inference.

In addition， the selection of reading materials should also be： a material terms ensure that the expression used in possess， avoid using the "English word， the Chinese flavor". The second is to use interesting and close contact with reality life and the public， stimulate students reading desire with materials intellectual， revealing and practicality.

Ⅳ.The strategies of guessing the words meaning

In ordinary class， the teacher used to teach English vocabulary or let students learn vocabulary first， then the article， this is a mode of teaching. While reading in native language， people dont always read each word; when faced with new words people couldnt terminate the reading to find out the words meaning. As in English reading， it is need not to learn all the words， but presume and conclude from the context and knowledge， from the view of reading strategy， should guide the students to guess the meaning.

The chief method of guessing meanings is "presume". Such as from the explained terms of speculation （if that is; that is to say; for example）; also by comparing to guess， common synonym for the trademark word is like， or， similarly; common antonym words： yet， but， unlike although， not， but， instead of etc.; and from the forward and backward sentences.
