计划说明
考研人数逐年增加，竞争之激烈使得我们不得不加急复习的日程。众所周知，阅读理解占据了考研英语二100分试卷的一半分值，而考研英语阅读文章大多来自英美国家的主流报刊杂志，所以如果能在日常就多多阅读这些文章，对以后读懂文章做对题目来说会大有裨益。但是对大多数备考的同学来说，刚开始投入复习，就去读考试文章难度的新闻报刊，也是不现实、并且不符合循序渐进的学习规律的，所以我们会在每次推送中，给大家给出两篇短文，一篇是初阶水平（大致在初高中水平）；一篇是高阶水平（四六级到考研水平）；同学们可以根据自己当前的情况，选择其中一篇进行学习。
学习步骤如下：
1.不看汉语译文自己看一遍短文做理解
2.看汉语译文比对自己理解的意思与之出入
3.强化记忆重点单词（以记忆其汉语意思为主）
翻译文段
That contrasts with less positive results of previous case studies of homeworking. Mr Bernstein and his colleagues suggest that the main difference this time is that all employees have been forced into the same situation. In the past, those who worked at home were in the minority, often felt excluded from the group, and so were less likely to identify with the company.
短文翻译
这与之前在家办公不太积极的结果形成了对比。伯恩斯坦和他的同事们认为，这一次的主要区别在于，所有员工都被迫进入在家办公的状态。在过去，那些在家工作的人只占少数，他们常常感到被排除在群体之外，因此不太可能对公司产生认同感。

文段
The degree of judgment required tends to increase as people take on more responsibility. Those with routine tasks generally have limited scope for judgment. Line supervisors have some discretion. For a chief executive, the proportion of decisions involving judgment is high. Deciding not to take action is also a judgment with potentially serious consequences (for example, “I won’t get vaccinated” or “I won’t pay my bills”). The world is full of people whose lack of judgment brought their careers or personal life crashing down. Many made the common mistake of assuming everything was fine.
短文翻译
人们承担的责任越多，对判断力的需求程度往往就越大。那些完成常规任务的人们通常判断力有限。生产线主管具有一定的判断能力。而对于首席执行官来说，涉及判断力的决策占比很高。决定不采取行动同样也是一种可能产生严重后果的判断（比如说，“我不会接种疫苗”或者“我不会支付账单”）。这个世界上到处都是缺乏判断力的人，他们的事业或个人生活一落千丈。很多人都犯了常见的错误，认为一切都很好。
