In 1996, Gao Lansheng categorized reading purposes into application reading and learning reading in his book English ReadingTheory. The former purpose makes English as a tool to realize the readers’ purposes. Thelatter purpose means learning language through reading. The purpose of reading is toobtain language and characters. The reading purpose of high school students belongs tothe second category. However, with the development of economy and society,communications between China and the world are gradually strengthening. While livingon campus, high school students are eager to communicate and contact with the outsideworld, and hope to practice what they have learned in the classroom in real life, which isvery helpful for cultivating their interest in learning, so gradually, high school students’reading purpose should be to merge these two kinds of purposes, namely, mastering thelanguage itself and using it as a tool in real life.
