2022年考研人數(shù)逐年增加，競爭之激烈使得我們不得不加急復(fù)習(xí)的日程。眾所周知，閱讀理解占據(jù)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(shù)備考的同學(xué)來說，剛開始投入復(fù)習(xí)，就去讀考試文章難度的新聞報刊，也是不現(xiàn)實、并且不符合循序漸進(jìn)的學(xué)習(xí)規(guī)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(xué)們可以根據(jù)自己當(dāng)前的情況，選擇其中一篇進(jìn)行學(xué)習(xí)。

學(xué)習(xí)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(qiáng)化記憶重點單詞（以記憶其漢語意思為主）

初階文段

Have you ever noticed how much children laugh? If we adults could indulge in a bit of silliness and giggling, we would reduce the stress hormones in our bodies , increase good hormones like endorphins, improve blood flow to our hearts and even have a greater chance of fighting off infection. All of which, of course, have a positive effect on happiness levels.

短文翻譯

你有沒有注意到孩子們有多愛笑？如果成年人能放任自己傻一點，傻笑一會兒，就能減少體內(nèi)導(dǎo)致壓力的激素含量，增加像內(nèi)啡肽那樣的優(yōu)良激素的含量，改善流往心臟的血液，甚至有更大的機(jī)會抵御感染。當(dāng)然，所有這一切都會對我們的幸福水平產(chǎn)生積極的影響。

文段 II

The problem with being a grown up is that there's an awful lot of serious stuff to deal with—work, mortgage payments, figuring out what to cook for dinner. But as adults we also have the luxury of being able to control our own diaries and it's important that we schedule in time to enjoy the things we love. Those things might be social, sporting, creative or completely random(dancing aroud the living room, anyone?)—it doesn't matter, so long as they're enjoyable, and not likely to have negative side effects, such as drinking too much alcohol or going on a wild spending spree if you're on a tight budget.

短文翻譯

長大成人的問題在于我們要應(yīng)對許許多多很嚴(yán)肅的事情——工作、按揭貸款、考慮晚餐該做什么吃。但是，作為成年人，我們也享有安排自己日程的奢侈權(quán)利，抽出時間享受我們喜愛的東西也十分重要。不管是社交、運(yùn)動、創(chuàng)作或是完全隨機(jī)的行為（有人會在客廳里翩翩起舞嗎？）——都沒關(guān)系，只要這些事情能讓我們感到愉悅，并且不會像過量飲酒或是在預(yù)算吃緊的情況下還大手大腳花錢那樣具有負(fù)面影響。
