However, it has been observed that most of English learners are unable to read effectively, and even fail to comprehend texts. Therefore how to improve learners’ reading ability is of great significance. Nowadays, many English learners have attributed their poor reading comprehension to linguistic deficiencies and poor mastering of grammar. Consequently, they are forced to remember words mechanically. They are keen on analyzing sentences and grammatical phenomenon carefully. And they think that they can improve their reading comprehension through expanding their vocabularies and gaining greater control over complex syntactic structures. Even more, some English learners believe that they would have no difficulty in comprehending the whole text as long as they grasp the meaning of each word, each sentence, and each text passage. However, the result was often disappointing.Now, based on theories and researching of some experts, we realize that linguistic deficiency is only one of the factors that might have caused English learners’ poor reading comprehension. It is lack of cultural background knowledge that is the major element affecting their comprehension. Therefore, it is of great importance to develop learners’ cultural background knowledge. In the following parts of this paper, we will discuss firstly describe the current situation of English reading and culture background knowledge in reading comprehension, illustrate the influence of background deficiency on learners’ comprehension, and propose ways to help students develop cultural background knowledge. The primary purpose of this article is to draw English learners attention to the importance of culture background so as to improve reading comprehension.II．The Current Situation of English Reading ComprehensionNowada
