read，StimUlatiOn，Speculation是阅读教学的四个层次、四种境界，也是本套教材名称的来历。本册教材的关键词是Speed——阅读速度。作为入门阶段的教材，本册教材一改众多阅读教材以量取胜、长篇大作的模式，特意选了一些短小精悍的文章，每篇400～600词，题材以日常生活场景为主，让学生能比较容易地度过从中学生到英语专业本科生的过渡期，较为轻松地获得成就感。本册教材共12单元，每单元3篇主课文，配上相应的内容理解练习及词汇练习；设有阅读技巧专题，主要集中在词语理解技巧方面，每单元一个要点，全册书自成体系；由于主课文阅读量偏少，为体现“speed”的理念，设计了一个课内外均可用的阅读练习板块，难度相当于应用英语A级(3A)；还有几个趣味性的附加练习项目，让学生轻松愉快地扩大词汇量，提高语言运用能力。

章节摘录

　　Address things when they're little.　　Is your roommate always forgetting her stuff for the shower， and taking yours? Are your clothes being borrowed faster than you can wash them? Addressing things that bug you while they're still little can help your roommate be aware of something she may not otherwise know. And addressing little things is much easier than addressing them after they've become big.　　Respect your roommate's stuff.　　This may seem simple， but it's probably one of the biggest reasons why roommates experience conflict. Don't think he'll mind if you borrow his cleats for a quick soccer game? For all you know， you just stepped over an uncrossable line. Don't borrow， use， or take anything without getting permission first.　　Be careful of who you bring into your room-and how often.　　You may love having your study group into your room. But your roommate may not. Be mindful of how often you bring people over. If your roommate studies best in the quiet， and you study best in a group， can you alternate who hits the library and who gets the room?　　Lock the door and windows.　　This may seem like it has nothing to do with roommate relationships， but how would you feel if your roommate's laptop got stolen during the ten seconds it took you to run down the hall? Or vice versa? Locking your door and windows is a critical part of keeping safe on campus.　　Be friendly， without expecting to be best friends.　　Don't go into your roommate relationship thinking that you are going to be best friends for the time you're at school. It may happen， but expecting it sets both of you up for trouble. You should not only be friendly with your roommate but make sure you have your own social circles.　　Be open to new things.　　Your roommate may be from some place you've never heard of. They may have a religion or lifestyle that is completely different from your own. Be open to new ideas and experiences， especially as it relates to what your roommate brings into your life. That's why you went to college in the first place， right?　　Be open to change.　　You should expect to learn， grow and change during your time at school. And the same should happen to your roommate， if all goes well. As the semester progresses， realize things will change for both of you. Be comfortable addressing things that unexpectedly come up， setting new rules， and being flexible to your changing environment.　　Address things when they're big.　　You may not have been totally honest with tip 2. Or you may suddenly find yourself with a roommate who goes wild after being shy and quiet the first two months. Either way， if something gets to be a big problem quickly， deal with it as soon as you can.　　……

　　一套好的教材，除了有正确的教学理念、有效的知识覆盖面、全面的教学功能，更重要的还是能适合受众的需求，得到相关学生群体的欢迎，英语专业的阅读教材概莫能外，如不能受到学生的喜爱，纵然是周身经典，也无法成功地实现教学的目的。作为应用型本科院校，我们培养学生的重点在于让学生能说、能做、能用。相比于重点院校的学生，我们的学生整体成绩与之尚有差异，但成绩的差异并非因为先天素质，更多的是后天教育的结果。先知先觉固然是一种优势，可后知后觉也往往能后来居上。目前，不少出版社出版的阅读教材有许多优势，但主要是针对重点院校的学生。我们的学生多数基础不牢固，学习习惯有待改善，面对一本本“伟岸的”教科书，往往视之为畏途，一筹莫展。正是基于这样的现状，我们萌生了为应用型本科院校的学生编一套阅读教材的想法，希望通过我们编写老师们的努力，调动起学生求知的欲望，激发出他们心中智慧的火花。　　《好望角·英语专业“十二五”规划教材：4S大学英语阅读教程1》的编写特色定位在体现青春活力、充满动感以及对眼球和思维的刺激和引导上。除所选文章体现知性、趣味、文化层面的广度与深度外，还以丰富多彩的插图画面、趣味性练习板块、任务引导型的思维训练等丰富的内容和有趣的形式来吸引学生，以达到快乐学习的目的。
