摘要：
The focus of the study is on the assessment of readability for prevailing America and Chinese English textbooks with the measurement software and systems. The result indicated college reading textbooks produced by Chinese publishers seemed to vary in level, with some texts above the reading ability of most college students. Then simplification strategies used to make Chinese EFL reading texts more accessible are compared to those used in American reading texts. The substantial findings for the study are of great value to English textbook compilation and English language teaching.
