Reading into a New China: Deciphering a Changing Society (变化中的中国) Volume 1, Second Edition by Irene Liu, Duanduan Li

3.5

appreciate that the textbook provides the main passage text in both simplified + traditional but the content about "a changing china" is pretty outdated, even 10 years since the textbooks were first published. the content is also very china specific, but good for learning cultural and societal tidbits. 

pro tip: there's audio recordings available on the publisher website! you just have to fill out a form and the downloads will be available.
