Reading is one of the important means to get knowledge and understand the world around us. However, do well in reading is not an easy thing, students have a general feeling like this: if for Chinese articles, they can read these passages for several hours, and they can get the main idea of the articles, and they don’t feel tired. In contrast, if for English passages, they will spend more time in reading them even if these passages have few new words. What’s worse, they not only feel tired easily, but they can’t concentrate their energy on reading. Why does this phenomenon happen? There are many factors for it, such as too many new words, slang, allusions, and so on. With the rising and development of humanistic psychology, people paid more and more attention to the emotional problems in language teaching. Psychology humanism thinks the goal of education is to promote person’s comprehensive development, and in order to achieve this goal, we must put language learning and emotional factors together. However, people put too much emphasis on the brain’s rational and cognitive function, but ignore the irrational aspects of emotional factors development, which cause emotion empty illiteracy. This tendency is overemphasized language learning cognitive factors but ignored the significance of emotion, which is the main reason of the low in current university students’ reading ability. 　　Understanding the importance of emotional factors and learning to apply positive emotional factors is the best way to do well in the college English reading.
