計劃說明
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.強化記憶重點單詞（以記憶其漢語意思為主）
翻譯文段
Fear is both useful and harmful. This normal human reaction is used to protect us by signaling danger and preparing us to deal with it. Unfortunately, people create inner barriers with a help of exaggerating fears. My favorite actor Will Smith once said, “Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Do not misunderstand me. Danger is very real. But fear is a choice.” I do completely agree that fears are just the product of our luxuriant imagination.
If you are surrounded by problems and cannot stop thinking about the past, try to focus on the present moment. Many of us are weighed down by the past or anxious about the future. You may feel guilt over your past, but you are poisoning the present with the things and circumstances you cannot change. Value the present moment and remember how fortunate you are to be alive. Enjoy the beauty of the world around and keep the eyes open to see the possibilities before you. Happiness is not a point of future and not a moment from the past, but a mindset that can be designed into the present.
短文翻譯
懼怕有利有弊。懼怕，也是人的正常反應(yīng)。人們常用懼怕來保護我們免于預(yù)警的危險，并提早做好應(yīng)對準(zhǔn)備。不幸的是，人內(nèi)心會構(gòu)建堡壘，放大懼怕。我最喜歡的演員威爾?斯密斯，曾說道，“懼怕并不真實，是你想法的產(chǎn)物。別誤解我。我說的是危險是很真實的，但懼怕卻是可選的?！蔽彝耆澩?，懼怕只是豐富想象的產(chǎn)物。
如果你身陷困境，流連于過去，盡量把注意力放在現(xiàn)在。許多人受挫，要么是因為過去，要么是因為對將來的擔(dān)憂?；叵脒^去，你可能會羞愧不已，但你卻為不可改變的事、境毀了當(dāng)下。請珍視當(dāng)下，謹(jǐn)記，能活著就是幸運。享受世界的美好，眼觀所有的可能性?？鞓芳炔恢畚磥?，也不取決于過去，而是立足于當(dāng)下的一種心態(tài)。
