A new supplement to accompany the "Reading Skills Book" is a student audiotape which can be packaged with the text. The student audiotape contains several of the readings from the text, allowing students to hear as well as to see the selections and to practice vocabulary and pronunciation skills. New boxes called "What Do You Think?" now occur in each chapter. These boxes ask questions and make suggestions to help students develop their critical thinking skills.
