《初中英語拓展閱讀》（1-3）是一套從英國國際語言教學服務公司引進的拓展閱讀教程。作為編者，我們想告訴你，這套書能夠：
奪讓“悅”讀發(fā)生；
奪讓你在“悅”讀的過程中收獲能力與自信！
“悅”讀文章之后，我們還給你準備了一試身手的任務：Word power檢測你猜詞、用詞的本領(lǐng)；Understanding the mainideas，Reading fordetail，Answering questions和Using reference words考查你對語篇的理解力；Summary鍛煉你對語篇的概括力；Listening給你增加輸入信息的同時也幫助提高你的聽力；What do you think？提升你對文章話題的思辨能力。這些精心設計、富有意義的任務，讓你從此不再是做題的“機器”，而是成為真正自主學習的人！
