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。

 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）

But gradually, social-media users became more comfortable sharing intimate details of their lives with strangers and corporations. As I wrote in a 2019 Atlantic article with Tobias Rose-Stockwell, they became more adept at putting on performances and managing their personal brand—activities that might impress others but that do not deepen friendships in the way that a private phone conversation will.

Once social-media platforms had trained users to spend more time performing and less time connecting, the stage was set for the major transformation, which began in 2009: the intensification of viral dynamics.

短文翻譯

但漸漸地，社交媒體用戶變得更愿意與陌生人和公司分享他們生活中的私密細(xì)節(jié)。正如我在2019年與托拜厄斯·羅斯-斯托克韋爾在《大西洋月刊》上發(fā)表的一篇文章中所寫的那樣，他們變得更加善于表演和管理自己的個人品牌--這些活動可能會給其他人留下深刻印象，但不會像私人電話交談那樣加深友誼。

一旦社交媒體平臺訓(xùn)練用戶花更多的時間進(jìn)行表演，減少連接時間，就為始于2009年的重大變革奠定了基礎(chǔ)：病毒式動態(tài)傳播的加劇。
