ng questionnaires, observing reading classes and interviewing representative teachers and students, it is found that though students showed interest in cultural knowledge (See Table 4.5), most teachers laid insufficient stress on the cultural awareness cultivation in their English teaching, and that consequently most students had weak cultural foundations (See Table 4.7 and Table 4.8) when they were busy with language points and grammar in reading passages. Especially in students’ interview, some answers showed that even if some teachers and students realized the significance of the cultural awareness cultivation in English teaching, in routine English learning classes, particularly in English reading classes, teachers tended to work on how to teach grammatical knowledge sufficiently, rather than knowledge of culture, or the cultural awareness cultivation. As for students, they followed the teacher’s pace and had a must-to-do list on how to get better achievements. 

(2) Classroom activities, designed to better integrate reading courses and the cultural awareness cultivation, should be a practical and rewarding devotion. Initially referring to the literature at home and abroad, the theory and model provided guidance to teaching designs. Concluding from the inspirations got from the classroom observation, the researcher designed many teaching activities aimed at motivating students to participate in the in-depth understanding and analyzing the passage. It was concluded that arousing students’ interest assisted them to learn effectively. In high school English reading class, the strategies of cultural background knowledge penetration could be useful. Besides, teachers needed to dig out cultural connotation underlying vocabulary, and make comparison between Chinese and Western cultures when doing discourse analysis. Inspired by teachers’ interviews, many activities could be useful, such as the activities to introduce some background information before class, to make comparison and to form right values, which in consequence created a positive atmosphere for students to learn more.
