昨天海边度假、今天高档餐厅吃牛排、明天奉上锥子脸自拍，后天各种名牌A货代购......不知道从何时起，微信朋友圈里的分享变了味道，甚至成为一种负担。我们来看看这些人都在分享什么?

Recently, Cheng Li had to block another friend on his WeChat account who constantly shared links to various health tips.

近日，程力(音译)不得不屏蔽了一位总是不停分享保健贴士的微信好友。

“At first, they looked useful, but now they’re just cliched,”said Cheng, 22, a Beijing-based reporter. In fact, Cheng is not the only one who has to endure such bombardments on social media platforms, from intimate couple selfies, photos of meals, to bag sales and if-you-don’t-share-this-bad-things-will-happen links.

“起初，这些信息看起来很有用，但现在看来都只是些老生常谈罢了。”这位来自北京的22岁记者说道。实际上，并非只有程力一人忍受着社交媒体上的这种“狂轰滥炸”：从晒情侣肉麻自拍，到晒各种美食照，再到打折包包以及各种“不转发就会有厄运降临”的帖子。

Let’s just say that while sharing is indeed a virtue, oversharing, especially on social media platforms, can not only sour friendships but also hurt career prospects. Experts advise people to maintain a good balance between their private life and their professional life, between sharing and showing off, and between goodwill and annoyances. But it’s a tricky business.

虽说分享的确是种美德，但过度分享，尤其是在社交媒体上过度分享，不仅会伤害友情更是会殃及事业前途。专家建议，人们需要在私生活与职场生活、分享与炫耀、好心与惹人厌之间寻求一种良性平衡。而这是个麻烦事儿。

Identification and false reality

认同与伪造真实

Feng Shanshan, 20, an economics major at the University of International Business and Economics, feels frustrated when she checks her WeChat only to see photos from her friends eating in fancy restaurants or enjoying exotic trips and exciting events. “It feels like I’m a failure with hardly any highlights in my life,” said Feng.

20岁的冯珊珊(音译)是对外经济贸易大学经济学专业的一名学生。她最近很郁闷，因为一打开微信，满目都是好友晒高级餐厅、出国旅行、参加各种精彩活动的信息。她说：“感觉上我就是一个生活毫无精彩之处的失败者。”

Zhang Yijun, a Shanghai-based psychologist, says this is a common reaction. But the truth is that the information shared online is designed to construct a certain illusion of reality.

来自上海的心理学家张怡筠说，这是一种常见的反应。而事实上，网上分享的信息是人

们精心设计出的对现实的粉饰。

“Deep down, sharing anything is showing off,”said Zhang. “But when we see the best side of everyone’s life in such a fragmented way, we tend to connect the pieces and think of them as reality, which can cause an anxiety of missing out or being left out.”

“实际上，任何分享行为都是一种炫耀，”张怡筠表示。“但当我们以一种碎片化的方式来看每个人生活中最好的一面时，我们往往会将这些片段连接起来并认为这就是真实的现实，从而产生一种被忽视或者被隔离的焦虑感。”

Friendship and career at stake

危及友情和事业

Chen Canrui, a psychologist at South China Normal University, says oversharing online undermines effective communication in real life.

华南师范大学心理学专家陈灿锐表示，网络“分享控”行为正在破坏现实生活中实际的沟通。

“Having such easy access to so many people makes communication really superficial,”said Chen. “In the end, the lack of deep communication hurts strong social connections, namely friends, more than weak connections.”

“如此轻而易举地接触到这么多的人，使得沟通交流变得流于表面，”陈灿锐说道。“最终，相对于微弱的社会关系，深度沟通的缺乏更容易令友谊这种强大的社会关系受伤。”

Not only friendships are at stake in the era of oversharing, but career prospects could also be at risk if a good balance between private life and professional life is not maintained.

在一个“分享控”的时代，不仅人与人之间的友情面临考验，如果你不能平衡好个人生活与职场生活间的关系，你的职业生涯也很可能岌岌可危。

“Companies don’t care if you’re oversharing photos of a Habitat for Humanity house you helped build,”Vinda Rao Souza, marketing manager at Bullhorn, a US recruitment software company, told Glassdoor, a US-based job recruitment website. “But they will ca re if you’re sharing your innermost thoughts on political matters or if you throw around racial epithets.”

招聘软件开发商Bullhorn的市场经理Vinda Rao Souza在接受美国招聘网站Glassdoor采访时称：“如果你只是一味地上传自己参与‘仁爱之家’建房计划的照片，想必没有公司会在意这回事。而他们真正看重的是你就政治热点发表的内心看法，或者看你是否随意使用着涉嫌种族歧视的用语。”

“The biggest thing is to make sure you are aware of the privacy settings and use them,”Pamela Skillings, co-founder of US-based job coaching firm Skillful Communications, told Glassdoor. “You don’t have to give up social media, but you have to understan d that what’s available publicly can hurt the professional side of your life.”

美国职业咨询公司Skillful Communications的联合创始人帕梅拉?斯基林告诉Glassdoor 网站：“关键是要弄清所有隐私设置，并加以利用。尽管你无需逃离社交媒体，但你必须要弄清哪些公开可见的内容会危害到你的职业生涯。”

Are you an oversharer?

你是“分享控”吗?

With the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) compelling us to update our sharing apps every 15 minutes, we easily become culprits of oversharing annoying contents, ranging from showing off to chicken soup for the soul. Over the weekend, 21st Century conducted a survey through its official WeChat account that received more than 400 responses from readers, most of whom are enrolled

students in college and senior middle school. Shopping advertisements ranked top of the most annoying shared contents on social media.

人们由于“社交控情结”(译者注：忙于眼前事的时候，总是害怕会错过更有趣或者更好的人和事)，每隔15分钟便会更新自己的社交网络;这样一来，我们很容易沦为分享无聊内容的“刷屏怪”，从单纯的炫耀到心灵鸡汤不一而足。上周末，《21世纪英文报》在其官方微信上进行了一项用户调查活动，共搜集到400多位热心读者的反馈，这些读者大都是在校大学生及高中生。而购物小广告被票选为“社交媒体最惹人厌的行为”。

如何选择考研备考辅导班：

在考研备考准备的过程中，会遇到不少困难，尤其对于跨专业考生的专业课来说，通过报辅导班来弥补自己复习的不足，可以大大提高复习效率，节省复习时间，大家可以通过以下几个方面来考察辅导班，或许能帮你找到适合你的辅导班。

师资力量：师资力量是考察辅导班的首要因素，考生可以针对辅导名师的辅导年限、辅导经验、历年辅导效果、学员评价等因素进行综合评价，询问往届学长然后选择。判断师资力量关键在于综合实力，因为任何一门课程，都不是由一、两个教师包到底的，是一批教师配合的结果。还要深入了解教师的学术背景、资料著述成就、辅导成就等。凯程考研备考名师云集，李海洋、张鑫教授、方浩教授、卢营教授、孙浩教授等一大批名师在凯程授课。而有的机构只是很普通的老师授课，对知识点把握和命题方向，欠缺火候。

对该专业有辅导历史：必须对该专业深刻理解，才能深入辅导学员考取该校。在考研备考辅导班中，从来见过如此辉煌的成绩：凯程教育拿下2017五道口金融学院状元，考取五道口15人，清华经管金融硕士10人，人大金融硕士15个，中财和贸大金融硕士合计20人，北师大教育学7人，会计硕士保录班考取30人，翻译硕士接近20人，中传状元王园璐、郑家威都是来自凯程，法学方面，凯程在人大、北大、贸大、政法、武汉大学、公安大学等院校斩获多个法学和法硕状元，更多专业成绩请查看凯程网站。在凯程官方网站的光荣榜，成功学员经验谈视频特别多，都是凯程战绩的最好证明。对于如此高的成绩，凯程集训营班主任邢老师说，凯程如此优异的成绩，是与我们凯程严格的管理，全方位的辅导是分不开的，很多学生本科都不是名校，某些学生来自二本三本甚至不知名的院校，还有很多是工作了多年才回来考的，大多数是跨专业考研备考，他们的难度大，竞争激烈，没有严格的训练和同学们的刻苦学习，是很难达到优异的成绩。最好的办法是直接和凯程老师详细沟通一下就清楚了。

建校历史：机构成立的历史也是一个参考因素，历史越久，积累的人脉资源更多。例如，凯程教育已经成立10年（2005年），一直以来专注于考研备考，成功率一直遥遥领先，同学们有兴趣可以联系一下他们在线老师或者电话。

有没有实体学校校区：有些机构比较小，就是一个在写字楼里上课，自习，这种环境是不太好的，一个优秀的机构必须是在教学环境，大学校园这样环境。凯程有自己的学习校区，有吃住学一体化教学环境，独立卫浴、空调、暖气齐全，这也是一个考研备考机构实力的体现。此外，最好还要看一下他们的营业执照。

2018考研英语一答案

2018年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语(一)试题答案详解 注意：英语试卷为花卷，以答案内容进行核对 整理：凯程中传果酱老师 Section I Use of English 1、【答案】[B]for 【解析】此处考察介词的用法。it’s a necessary condition____many worthwhile things(信任是一个必要条件_____许多重要事情)此处应该是说，信任对许多重要事情来说是一个必要条件。B选项for(对...来说)符合语义，故为正确答案;A选项from(来自于)，C选项like(像...)，D选项on(关于)语义不恰当，故排除。 2、【答案】[C]faith 【解析】此处考察词义辨析和中心一致性原则。第一段首句提出主题句：trust is a tricky business(信任是一个奇怪的东西)。后面进一步对该主题句进行解释说明：On the one hand, it’s a necessary condition___for___many worthwhile things:child care,friendships,etc.(一方面，信任对许多重要事情来说是必要条件，比如照看孩子，友谊等)，这句话在说信任的好处。On the other hand,putting your___in the wrong place often carries a high____.(另一方面，把...放在错误的地方往往会带来巨大...)，显然这句话依旧在解释主题词“trust”，只有C选项faith(信任、忠诚)与trust属于近义词复现，故正确答案为[C]faith。 3、【答案】[B]price 【解析】此处考察词义辨析。第一段首句提出主题句：trust is a tricky business(信任是一个奇怪的东西)。后面进一步对该主题句进行解释说明：On the one hand,it’s a necessary condition__for__many worthwhile things:child care,friendships,etc.(一方面，信任对许多重要事情来说是必要条件，比如照看孩子，友谊等)，这句话在说信任的好处。On the other hand, putting your___in the wrong place often carries a high____.(另一方面，把...放在错误的地方往往会带来巨大...)，显然这句话依旧在解释主题词“trust”，并且根据空格所在句中的关键词“wrong place”，本句应该在说信任不当的弊端，所以空格处应该填入一个负向感情色彩的词，故A选项benefit和D选项hope排除，而C选项debt(债务)带入之后语义不当，故正确答案为[B]price(代价)。

2017考研英语一阅读答案

2017考研英语一阅读答案 答案：21-25 ACDDC 21. 答案【A】explain American’s tolerance of current security checks. 解析：本题目为例证题，考察论点与论据。根据题干关键词the crash of Egypt Air Flight 804定位到第二段第二句。例证题中的例子为论据，所要找的答案为论点，而论点在论据之 前，因此该题目的答案是第二段的第一句话。二段首句说的是美国人愿意忍受长时间的安全 检查。正确答案A的American’s tolerance是原文Americans are willing to tolerate的原词复现，current security checks是原文的time-consuming security 的同义转化。干扰项B 的urgency to strengthen security worldwide，原文未提及worldwide，属于扩大范围;选项C的major U.S. major airports属于具体信息的干扰;选项D的privacy 隐私并未提及，是常识性干扰。 22. 答案【C】An increase in the number of travelers. 解析：本题目为原因细节题。根据题干中的long waits at major airports定位到原文第三段的第二句，原文的resulted in 与题干中的contributed to是同义转化，所以定位内容就 是提升的安全措施以及航空旅游的增加。正确答案C的an increase in the number of travelers 是原文 a rise in airline travel的同义替换。干扰项A的carry-on bags是在第四段的最后一句出现的，非定位句内容;选项B的TSA efficiency也出现在第四段;选项D的unexpected secret checks未提及。

UNIT SIX TEXT ONE Maintaining internal E-mail systems has long been the bane of the university information-technology director. Servers are unwieldy and unreliable, and in the past several years, the number of student complaints has grown exponentially as forward-moving providers like YahooMail, Hotmail, and Gmail have increased expectations of what E-mail should offer. The solution for a number of colleges has been to wave the white flag and outsource E-mail hosting to the experts. Microsoft, which owns Hotmail, and Google (Gmail) are the biggest players in the educational E-mail hosting market. Along with the neat-o peripheral gizmos like messaging, calendars, and collaboration tools, the outsourced systems are more stable, have better spam filters, and provide much more storage space than the typical university's in-house system. At the University of Pennsylvania, its old E-mail service gave students 60 megabytes of storage, just 3 percent of the 2 gigabytes Windows Live now provides. In return, Google and Microsoft get almost nothing, at least monetarily and in the short term. Microsoft's Windows Live @ edu and the Google Apps Education Edition are free of charge for schools. Eliminating another source of revenue, the two tech giants stripped their respective services of advertising in an effort to accommodate educators' concerns. Microsoft breaks even on the venture (it does run ads on non-E-mail services like instant messaging), while Google, which makes almost all its money through advertising, runs at a loss. But what money they don't make at the moment will—the companies hope—pay great dividends in the form of lifelong users in the future, says Google's Jeff Kelter. As quickly as they shuffle out of commencement, graduates see their E-mail transition to the traditional ad-based formats of Gmail and Hotmail. And unlike before, when universities couldn't afford to host thousands of alumni, Google and Microsoft can maintain every account indefinitely, retaining customers as long as customers still want them. Not all schools are ready to outsource their tech dirty work, with privacy and security topping the list of concerns. Critics worry that by handing over the responsibility of E-mail hosting, colleges also relinquish the freedom to keep the information safe in the best way they see fit. Even in the corporate world, there is great skepticism of consumer technologies like Google Apps. Yet most university IT managers agree that outsiders would do a better job protecting individual E-mail from viruses and spam than their own small operations, and strong word-of-mouth praise has done wonders to supplement the almost nonexistent marketing budgets for these Microsoft and Google

英语二T e x t 1 1---Homework has never been terribly popular with students and even many parents, but in recent years it has been particularly scorned. School districts across the country, most recently Los Angeles Unified, are revising(修改) their thinking on his educational ritual(例行公事). Unfortunately, L.A. Unified has produced an inflexible (不可变更的) policy which mandates(批准) that with the exception of some advanced courses, homework may no longer count for more than 10% of a student’s academic grade。 家庭作业从来就没有受到学生甚至家长的真正欢迎，但最近几年来，家庭作业却受到人们的鄙视。全国的学校都在修改家庭作业的相关惯例做法。不幸的是，洛杉矶学区通过了一项不可变更的政策：除了高等课程，家庭作业在学分中所占比例不可以超过10%。 21.It is implied in paragraph 1 that nowadays homework_____。 [A] is receiving more criticism [B] is no longer an educational ritual（绝对） [C] is not required for advanced courses（正反） [D] is gaining more preferences（正反） 2---This rule is meant to address the difficulty that students from impoverished or chaotic homes might have in completing their homework. But the policy is unclear and contradictory. Certainly, no homework should be assigned that students cannot do without expensive equipment. But if the district is essentially giving a pass to students who do not do their homework because of complicated family lives, it is going riskily close to the implication that standards need to be lowered for poor children。 这个规定旨在提出：来自贫穷家庭或混乱家庭的学生有困难，不能完成家庭作业。但该政策是不清晰的，是矛盾的。显然，没有哪个家庭作业是在没有昂贵设备就无法完成的。但如果该学区因为学生家庭复杂而不做家庭作业就给他通过的话，那么这就意味着对于贫穷孩子，标准要降低。

Uint 4 Text 1 1. 作者认为“δ开发潜能”观念经久不衰的原因在于其。 ［A］事实性［B］远见性 ［C］神秘性［D］启发性 ［信息锁定］第一段首先引出某种说法“大多数人只用及大脑的10%”；进而作出评价：该说法来源不明，准确性有待考证，噱头成分多过事实，但却经久不衰；随后指出了该说法经久不衰的原因：其言外之意颇具吸引力，也即，该说法颇能鼓舞人心——90%大脑尚δ使用，若是挖掘使用，则人人皆可成天才；最后论及申克新作《人人都能成为天才》，实际也是为了说明这种“说法”经久不衰。［D］选项符合文意。 ［解题技巧］［A］选项陷阱在于将文中“噱头成分多过事实”错误引申为“有噱头成分，但并不代表?有事实，其事实性也毋庸置疑”，从而导致误选。 ［B］选项误区在于将文中“该说法经久不衰”套之以常识性知识“既然经久不衰，那?它肯定具有先见之明”，容易造成误选。 ［C］选项捕风捉影，将文中underlying premise误理解为“神秘、不可捉摸”，该短语实指该说法的潜在预设，即其言外之意。 技巧点拨：因果关系题，可以直击文中表示因果关系的词汇，如because，然后在其前后深究“因”与“果”各为何物。同时，从字里行间揣测作者的站λ，首段第二句作者对该说法的客观评价就应该能够帮助我们将［A］、［B］两个表示褒义态度的选项加以排除，剩下［C］选项是被文中个别词汇误导一叶障目的结果。 2. 第二段隐含“刻意练习”的核心思想在于其。 ［A］时间跨度［B］目标性 ［C］强度［D］反复性 ［信息锁定］第二段第四句提出概念“刻意练习”，即反复不断尝试，尝试的目标须以超乎自己现有水平为基准，言外之意，“刻意练习”不是为了完成练习量，其精髓在于其目的性（attempts to...）很明确，要持续不断地做“超乎自己现有能力”的事情，同时从deliberate词义“有意的，刻意的”也可见一斑，［B］选项最准确。 ［解题技巧］［A］选项误将文中over time（假以时日）理解为“时间决定了刻意

2020年考研英语阅读理解模拟试题：医学(18)

2020年考研英语阅读理解模拟试题：医学（18） It was a big week for Alzheimer's disease， and not just because PBS aired The Forgetting， a first-rate documentary about Alzheimer's worth catching in reruns if you missed it the first time. There was also a flurry of scientific news that offered hope to the families already struggling with Alzheimer's， as well as to the baby-boom generation that's up next. Unless something dramatic happens， the number of Americans living with this terrifying brain disease could triple， to about 16 million， over the next 50 years. There's still no cure in sight， but there is progress on several fronts. Among them： MEGADOSE VITAMINS Doctors knew vitamins E and C， both antioxidants， help stave off Alzheimer's， at least in folks who haven't already developed the disorder. What they didn't know——but a big study involving 4，740 participants published in the Archives of Neurology showed——was that the two vitamins taken together in huge daily doses （at least 400 IU of E and more than 500 mg of C） could reduce the risk of Alzheimer's a remarkable 78%. COMBINATION THERAPY A yearlong study of more than 400 Alzheimer's patients showed that two drugs that work differently on the brain's chemistry act well together to help slow down the disease. Patients who were being treated with donepezil （sold as Aricept）， an older drug that preserves the neurotransmitter acetylcholine， were also given memantine （Namenda）， a new drug approved by the FDA last October that blocks overproduction of a harmful brain chemical called glutamate. The two drugs worked even better

One Gallup poll found that 20 percent of Americans who have been unemployed for at least a year report having depression，double the rate for 7 Americans. Also，some research suggests that the 8 for rising rates of mortality，mental-health problems，and addicting9 poorly-educated middle-aged people is shortage of well-paid jobs.
