Therefore, it is of great importance to learn some background knowledge before something is read. In reading class, it is very important to make students know the history, culture conventions and customs of English countries, which can widen students’ knowledge and change the knowledge into the ability of communication. Teachers should introduce the background knowledge in reading class. This paper, based on recent research findings and examples, discusses the close relationship between background knowledge and reading comprehension, illustrates the influencing factors of background, such as idiom, literature and social customs, on students’ comprehension, and proposes ways, such as class discussion, comparison between native and foreign background and video and slide show, to help students develop background knowledge.
