textbook for reading

by tanviet » Wed Jul 28, 2010 2:42 am
I am non-native speaker. I come across the book "English fluency" by Alexandrer. This is a book for advanced learner of English. I see that the reading passages in the book are hard and good for GMAT.

I wish to find more similar books for advanced learner of English. The books should have many hard passages so that I can practice reading.

Anyone know any textbook for advanced learner of English, Please, tell me.

Thank you

infact I have seen many passages in the RCs to be abridged versions of a few articles from each of these 4 websites!
