考研英語試卷的一大特點就是閱讀量大、題量大，學生要想在考場有限的時間內取得較高的分數，就需要在平時的復習過程中進行大量的閱讀，進而提高自己的做題速度。
但是閱讀資料的篩選一定要有選擇性和針對性，通過對歷年考研英語試題的分析，我們發現80%閱讀理解的文章都來源于 The Economist《經濟學家》、Newsweek《新聞周刊》、TIME《時代周刊》等原版英文報刊雜志。所以學生在復習的時候，要對這幾類期刊雜志的文章多加留意。
以下是2016考研網從考研英語閱讀理解相關閱讀源搜集整理的一些有關時政、科技、生活、校園等最新時文，同學們快來跟著我們每天一起堅持閱讀吧。.

又到周末了干什么好呢？下面就為你列出20件周末可以做的事。其中既有戶外型的，又有適合都市人的；不論你是約會，還是歡度家庭時光，都能從中發現不錯的活動建議哦！
1. Take a Walk Around the Lake
湖畔漫步
Find a lake with a walking path and bring your partner or your canine companion. Enjoy the views, get some exercise and feed the ducks. Then, stop for some iced tea at the lakeside restaurant.
跟伴侶或愛犬去湖畔散散步，欣賞風景、伸展胳膊、喂喂鴨子，然后再在湖邊小店喝杯冰茶。
2. Go On a Hike
去遠足
Many areas have hikes of varying lengths within city limits or a few miles outside of the city itself. You can choose shorter, more level hikes or head to the mountains and make it an all-day affair. Don't forget good shoes, water, sunblock, and a hat.
許多城市邊緣或離市區幾英里的位置都有遠足的地方。你可以選擇短程但刺激的遠足，或花一天時間去登山。當然，別忘了準備好鞋子、水、防曬霜和帽子。
3. Go On a Bike Ride
騎游
Rent a bike from the local bike shop or ride your own. Map out a route and calculate the distance using a bicycling app on your smartphone. Take extra water and don't forget to wear a helmet. This can be a fun activity for kids, too.
在本地車店租一輛或干脆跨上自己的車去騎游。先標好路程并算好距離，在手機里設置好騎行導航軟件。多帶點水，別忘了戴上頭盔。這項活動也很適合小孩子哦。
4. Start a Fun, New Weekend Craft
做有趣的手工活
You know that old dresser in your room that you've been wanting to spruce up? Get some sandpaper, wood stain and polyurethane and turn that dresser into a beautiful piece of furniture.
是不是一直想重新裝飾房間里那張舊梳妝臺？那就準備好砂紙、涂料和油漆，開始行動，把它粉飾得漂漂亮亮吧！
5. Go On a Picnic
野餐
Find a local park or recreation area and bring food and games for a day of fun. Play Frisbee, horseshoes, volleyball, soccer, or take a short hike. You might be able to swim or fish, rent a paddle boat, or find a comfortable spot to read a book.
帶上食物，到當地公園或休閑區痛快玩一天。飛盤、馬蹄鐵、排球、足球或短途遠足，隨你玩。或許你也愿意嘗試游泳、釣魚、劃船或躲在舒服的角落看書。
6. Go to a Karaoke Bar
K歌
Sing to your favorite songs while enjoying the company of good friends. Order food, have a beverage and make a night of it.
跟好朋友去KTV唱唱喜歡的歌，同時享用美味的食物和飲料，度過一個開心的夜晚。
7. Read a Book then See the Movie
讀書看電影
When you read a good book, chances are it's turned into a movie. Books like Harry Potter and The Help are recent popular favorites.
當你讀到一本好書時，很可能發現它也有同名電影。像《哈利波特》和《相助》就很受歡迎。
8. Go To a Tea House
去茶館坐坐
Change it up a bit and instead of going for the coffeehouse, look for the tea house. You can sample different teas, try tea in loose leaf form or try out unusual herbal blends from all over the world.
與其去咖啡館，不如改去茶館吧。在茶館，你可以品嘗各種各樣的茶，比如散裝茶或是來自世界各地的混合花草茶。
9. Run a 5K
5千米長跑
Running in a 5K is a great way to get in shape. Often, you can participate for charity or just for fun. Either way, recruit your friends or have them cheer you on. There are even 5K's that are kid-friendly.
5千米長跑對保持體形很有幫助。你可以加入慈善機構組織的長跑活動，或自己跑著玩兒。還有，別忘了讓朋友給你加油鼓勁。另外，有些長跑運動甚至也適合小孩呢。
10. Shop Garage Sales
商店庫存促銷時掃貨
Check your local listings and set up a route to hit a lot of garage sales in one day. This is a great opportunity to find furniture, household items and stylish clothes at incredible prices.
先看看哪些商家有促銷活動，定好路線攻略，然后就集中掃貨去吧。促銷時能買到不少便宜的家具、家用物件或漂亮衣服。
Have Fun!
好好玩一玩吧！
With this list of ideas, you're sure to have plenty to do for a weekend of spontaneity, fun, and relaxation. You might learn a few things, see a play you've never seen, but you definitely won't be bored.
可做的事情這么多，相信你的周末肯定會過得輕松又開心。而且說不定你還能學到新東西，比如看一場好玩的話劇，總之你肯定不會無聊的。
