如何打好考研英语暑假复习的基础

　　如今已到了六月中旬，对于广大的学生来说，这段时间是很忙碌的，要准备期末考试了。对于考研的同学来说就更加忙了，不仅要准备期末考试，还要抓紧考研的复习。暑假对于考研的广大朋友来说是一段非常好的时期，时间多，用于复习是比较好不过的了，尤其是对于考研英语来说，这是一个提高的黄金时间。但是在进入暑假复习之前，六月的这一段时间应该怎么去利用呢？总的来说，这段时间应该是为暑假的复习打好基础，作为一个承上启下的阶段，让自己的暑假复习更有效果。

　　这段时间的要求就是进行广泛的阅读，不仅要求数量，还要求多领域的阅读，任何材料都可以作为阅读。通过一定时间的广泛阅读之后，一些在阅读题型思路和技巧方面的问题就会逐渐显现出来。这个时候千万不能着急，谁都要经历一个由不会到会的过程，只有在问题中才能寻求进步。

　　问题出现了，我们就应该想办法解决它，任何问题都不能成为我们前进中的绊脚石。那么应该怎么去做才能很好的解决这些问题呢，传统的方法就是自己去摸索，但是这个方法会浪费很多的时间，而且自己去摸索很多时间也达不到效果，所以这是不可取的一种方法；还有就是向别人请教，三人行，必有我师焉，大多数的情况，只要你虚心请教，人们都是会给你帮助的；还有就是上辅导班，这是比较直接也是效果比较好的一个方法，但是需要一些花费，但是是首选。

　　Tucked away in our subconscious is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long trip that spans the continent. We are traveling by train. Out the windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hillsides, of city skylines and village halls.

　　But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, *ing the minutes for loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.

　　"When we reach the station, that will be it! "we cry. "When I'm 18. ""When I buy a new 450SL Mercedes Benz! ""When I put the last kid through college. ""When I have paid off the mortgage!""When I get a promotion.""When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after! "

　　Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.

　　"Relish the moment "is a good motto, especially when coupled with Psalm 118：24:"This is the day which the Lord hath made;we will rejoice and be glad in it. "It isn't the burdens of today that drive men mad. It is the regrets over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.

　　So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. In stead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more, cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come soon enough.
