2022年考研人數逐年增加，競爭之激烈使得我們不得不加急復習的日程。眾所周知，閱讀理解占據了考研英語二100分試卷的一半分值，而考研英語閱讀文章大多來自英美國家的主流報刊雜志，所以如果能在日常就多多閱讀這些文章，對以后讀懂文章做對題目來說會大有裨益。但是對大多數備考的同學來說，剛開始投入復習，就去讀考試文章難度的新聞報刊，也是不現實、并且不符合循序漸進的學習規律的，所以我們會在每次推送中，給大家給出兩篇短文，一篇是初階水平（大致在初高中水平）；一篇是高階水平（四六級到考研水平）；同學們可以根據自己當前的情況，選擇其中一篇進行學習。
學習步驟如下：
1.不看漢語譯文自己看一遍短文做理解
2.看漢語譯文比對自己理解的意思與之出入
3.強化記憶重點單詞（以記憶其漢語意思為主）
初階文段
Researchers are revisiting old studies in an effort to help us all learn how to forgive others and live healthier lives.According to CNN, a 2009 study found that harboring anger and hostility was linked with increased coronary events,such as heart attack among otherwise healthy people. The findings led researchers to explore the benefits of forgiveness.A 2016 study published in the Annals of Behavioral Medicine, found ①that over time,increases in forgiveness are associated with decreases in stress and ②that forgiveness might provide some protective health benefits.

研究人員正在重審過去的研究，試圖幫助我們所有人學會寬恕他人，過上更健康的生活。根據CNN，一項2009年的研究發現，在其他方面健康的人群中，心懷憤怒和敵意與冠心病事件增加有關，比如心臟病發作。這些發現促使研究人員探究原諒的好處。一項發表于《Annals of Behavioral Medicine》的2016年研究發現，隨時間流逝，原諒的增加與壓力的減少有關，并且原諒或許有一些保護性健康益處。

As it is, state and local health departments are struggling to implement an unprecedented mass vaccination program while also managing a surge in new COVID-19 cases①—some 200,000 daily for many days in December and January—and record-breaking numbers of hospitalizations. Shrinking budgets have left some states scrambling to find the ②staff and expertise needed to stand up a complex system of receiving, storing, distributing, tracking and administering vaccine doses, not to mention educating the public about the shots and monitoring for side effects. "Early on, there was talk at the federal level that states don't need money, they are like pass-throughs for this stuff; it's going to be the health care systems ③that are going to do the vaccinating," says Kris Ehresmann, director of infectious diseases at Minnesota's department of health. "States and localities have a really, really big lift."
