這本《經典英語名人名篇閱讀》由範東生主編，主要內容：Stepping into the advanced stage of English reading,students will find that it is the interpretation of meaning ratherthan the study of difficult vocabulary and grammar that becomesthe chief challenge. When I was choosing the materials for thisreading textbook, which intends to develop students' ability ofinterpretation, the ability to gain the ideas, I did one thing forcertain, that is, all the texts are very meaningful (or insightful)writings.
