A number of learner variables are generally said to influence the success or failure of language learning. Among these, foreign language reading anxiety has often been cited as one of the most important affective variables.

Employing SPSS 17.0 to classify and analyze the results of Foreign Language Reading Anxiety Scale (FLRAS) and Reading Test Paper (the final exams of Jan. 2011). Based on the analysis of English reading anxiety and performance，the following correlation study of the two factors testifies that certain relations do exist among the two factors，i.e. there is a negative relation between reading anxiety and high school students’ reading scores. Furthermore, the effect of performance caused by high-anxiety and low-anxiety are significant. Moreover, reading anxiety has a different degree of negative influence on high scores group and low scores group. The results of this study can stimulate English teachers to senior school students to the state of students’English reading anxiety so that the negative influence of reading anxiety on performance can be reduced by appropriate teaching methods and the students’ interest in English reading can also be aroused gradually.Key words:reading anxiety, senior middle school students, English reading scores摘要我们通常都是通过阅读获取知识，因此，阅读在我们语言学习过程中显得尤为重要。
