IntroductionFor a long time, reading teaching is one of the most important parts of English teaching in senior middle school。 it can be seen from the whole situation of senior English teaching. Therefore, many teachers have devoted their efforts to improve English reading teaching, but there are still some problems in English reading teaching, such as: the falling behind of education conception, the lacking of teaching method, the low effect of lecture teaching and the lack of reading ability. It is important to bear in mind that reading is not an invariant skill, there are different types of reading skills which correspond to many different purposes we have for reading. Teachers should not neglect the importance of English reading in senior middle school and the proportion of it in the college entrance examination. In reading teaching, cultivating the student’s reading interest, enhancing the skills of acquiring, analyzing, judging and dealing with information, and improving students’ reading skills as a whole, are the most important things. In order to improve English reading ability, teachers have formed many models of English reading teaching. Such as: the bottomup approach in reading teaching, the quiz reading teaching and the discussing reading teaching. However, these models still have many problems. In order to cope with these problems, many countries or districts, such as America, Canada, Singapore and Hong Kong, have advocated Taskbased Language Teaching method, which is based on the development of language knowledge, language skill, emotion attitude, learning tactics and cultural awareness.

In China, Education Section also points out that teachers should not apply such kind of teaching methodsimply teaching language knowledge, but try to adopt taskbased language teaching method ( letting students carry on their study by pleting these tasks and do things through using English) to cultivate students’ ability to utilize language synthetically. The significance of this thesis lies in the application of the taskbased language teaching method in the reading teaching of senior middle school. If the taskbased approach gains popularity and is implemented well and properly, the quality of English reading teaching in senior middle schools will be increased and students’ educational prospects will be better.2.
