Reading is complex and reciprocal course, involving a serial of mental activity, not only letters\words and sentences' understanding but text signify information. Text reading requests the readers instantly process the information when they are reading and whether the information provided formerly experience the conformity, and obtain valuable information in the article finally.In fact, the educational teaching and the real reading process were combined organically together by a lot of factors. What influence reading processing factors, not only by article literature styles, such as content expression ways and organizational structure methods, article marks, but also with readers' own factors such as reading speed, cognition ways and reading strategies.My research uses the article literature style (the fable stories)\ the objective article paradigm, the article microscopic mark factor and the main factor make the ability horizontal variables be objective. With the different structure type under different reading levels the reading process is influenced by different type article marks, which would provide the references for student's concrete reading instruction later on.There are two experiments in the thesis, one is the preparatory, the other is the formal.The first is preparatory one, adopted experiment the materials, and using the "read ability test" method arrived two levels' junior middle school students, another thing is theexperiment technique valid for testing the research hypotheses.The second part is formal study, which aimed to explore two level readers' features of coherence and general in different texts, and the effect of text signals in inconsistent texts. It concluded as follows:(l)Both the reading level and the consistence and coherence patterns of fable storiesinfluence the middle school students' reading processing. The ability to coherence and summarize of the higher level students is better than the poor one; the students, whose ability to coherence and meanings summarize of consistence for key sentence and purpose sentence is better than the un-consistence one; if there are some sentences added between the key and purpose sentences, the ability to coherence and summarize of short sentences is better than long.(2)The results of the research support Memory-based Text Process theory which the information that has entered memory can be activated automatically. When the better students are reading fable stories, the former information can be accessed, and formed whole consistence, but the poor students only do part consistence. (3) The influence to coherence of reading fable of the micro-signals has something to do with reading level and the patters of text consistence. The effects of micro- signals for the poor students are better than the better one, and which is produced in fables that has...
