especially the design of culture learning in the textbook is not efficient. while new college english was produced based on the learner-centered curriculum and it emphasized culture learning. so it is of importance to make an analysis of the passages in new college english at culture level to inspire the design of culture learning in textbooks. the thesis gives a historical review of cultural studies in language teaching field in various countries and describes the current situation in china besides illustrating the relation among culture，language and thought. furthermore，four enquiries of cultural studies are mentioned. a diagram is drawn to state the relation between the design，foreign language learning，and culture learning. while popular culture represents an important pedagogical site that raises important questions about the elements that organize the basis of learner subjectivity and experience. a particular form of teaching and learning is to regard popular culture as its essential part. while adopting materials，some principles should be followed: practical principle，phased principle and appropriate principle. one point should be especially kept in mind，that is，the materials should not be too difficult and beyond the learnerslevel.the problems of the chinese abstract are nearly the same of the english abstract.therefore，i changed the chinese abstract according to the problems which i had mentioned in english abstract. therefore，i will not illustrate the chinese abstract in detail.fourthly，let us move to the introduction.in the introduction，this thesis only mentions the significance of the book but not mentions the research significance.the first sentence“the present thesis intends to make an analysis of the design of passages in new college english at culture level and then mentions some aspects of culture studies and in addition describes the relation between the design and culture learning”is the statement of this paper. however，it is not a good one because it does not include the main content of this thesis. moreover，there are many non-sense words in paragraph two.the contents of paragraph three overlap many things with the contents of paragraph two.fifthly，chapter two，background of the study，is the literature review of this thesis.however，it is not like a literature review of this thesis because there is no relationship between this chapter and the title. moreover，the literature review only introduces others achievement.it is not enough in a literature review.from the title，the writer want to state culture studies，the design of new college english and the relationship between them. according to this，culture studies and the design of textbook in past，present and future should be illustrated and the writers own view should be explained in this literature review. in this chapter，only the culture is explained. it is too long and meaningless. then，it should be shortened. the structure of this chapter is in disorder. the literature review can be founded in chapter 4 and the other chapters. then，the chapter 2 is not a completely literature review.sixthly，the conclusion of this paper needs to be analyzed. this conclusion does not summarize the whole thesis very well. moreover，the significance of this thesis is not illustrated in this conclusion.the structure of this conclusion is not clearly.it is not suitable to use subtitles to cut the conclusion，such as，the strengths and weaknesses of the design and some suggestions.the last but not the least，the form and structure of the bibliography is clearly and suitable.the form of it is arranged to the standard of bibliography in
