Reader at Work II

This book is the second volume of a collection of thereading sections of the exam papers prepared in the Department of Basic Englishin the last ten years. It is intended to provide students with supplementarymaterial for EFL reading practice and exam preparation as it is believed thatthe reading material in the main textbooks is not always sufficient for thispurpose. In their English-medium academic mainstream, reading will be of utmostimportance for our students; therefore, we believe that they should beencouraged to read as much as possible outside class and we hope that this bookwill equip both the students and the teachers with enough means to emphasizereading comprehension and vocabulary development.

The material in this book has been graded according to text difficulty and thelevel of the exercises so that it will serve the needs of our students -frompre-intermediate to upper-intermediate and advanced levels. There are 225passages in the book, which will enable each student to read extensively at hisown level and to move on to the more advanced texts for challenge. In selectingthe passages, an attempt has been made to include a variety of topics and texttypes so as to promote reading for pleasure as well. 93 of the passages in thisbook (Numbers 132-225) have multiple choice questions and thus can be used bystudents as practice material for Mid-Term 8 and Proficiency Exam preparation.Also included is a section of appendices containing useful material for exampreparation. Finally, the material has been edited to maintain a reasonablelevel of consistency in the exercise types throughout the book. Although it isprepared with the students of the Department of Basic English in mind, webelieve that this book will help any enthusiastic student of English as aforeign language. If the book proves to be beneficial, we will considerourselves useful.
