計劃說明
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
According to Business Insider, "Facebook has a suicide-monitoring tool ①that uses machine learning to identify posts ②that may indicate someone is at risk of killing themselves."Facebook has recently reported that this new tool has sent emergency responders to 3500 different locations.Psychiatrists almost worry though that Facebook isn't equipped with the knowledge and where to how to handle mental health issues.They're also afraid that it will escalate the mental health crisis.

《商業內幕》消息，“Facebook有一種自殺檢測工具，可利用機器識別出表明某人可能有自殺風險的帖子。”近期Facebook報告稱這種新工具已經向3500個地方派遣了急救人員。盡管如此，精神病學家們還是很擔心Facebook不具備處理精神健康問題的知識和途徑。他們還擔心這樣將會加劇心理健康危機。

高階文段
Meanwhile, states like Texas and Iowa, which had already put up barriers for women seeking abortions,tried to use the pandemic as a cover to further erode health care access for women by claiming the procedure was nonessential, a determination contradicted by leading health organizations.America has the highest maternal mortality rate in the developed world(a number that rises significantly for people of color),and in addition to taking steps to combat this disgraceful problem,we should actually take into account the considerable risk that comes with pregnancy and childbirth and the long-term implications for those who are forced to become moms when they’re not ready.
短文翻譯
與此同時，德克薩斯、愛荷華等已經為尋求墮胎的女性設置了障礙的州，還企圖用疫情做掩護，從而進一步侵蝕女性獲得醫療保健服務的機會，他們聲稱這一程序并非必要，與主要衛生組織的看法截然相反。美國是發達世界孕產婦死亡率最高的國家（其中，有色人種占比尤為明顯），除了采取措施解決這一丟人的問題之外，我們還應考慮懷孕和分娩帶來的巨額風險，以及強行讓那些沒有準備好的女性提前走上為人母的道路會給她們帶來的長期影響。
