做事靠方法和正确的思路方能事半功倍。考研英语，得阅读者得天下，在市面上会有很多老师介绍自己的方法，鱼龙混杂，大家要擦亮眼睛，适合自己的才是最好的。今天文都考研英语辅导靖老师就考研英语阅读的做题思路给大家做一梳理，希望2017考研学子能够有所借鉴和收获。

　　拿到阅读文章，一般情况下有两种思路，一是浏览文章，大概摸清主题，再做题;二是直接做题，边做边回原文定位，即我们常说的定位、替换、排除。文都网校靖老师建议大家按第一种思路走，因为在大纲中明确提出对文章主题的把握，在题目设置中也有主题题目的考察，另外有的同学定位不准的问题就是因为没有整体浏览文章。我们浏览文章，尽可能抓住主题，一般都会在首段或者二段出现，如若抓不住，也会在做题中慢慢有所领悟。我们以一篇模拟题为例，指导大家在做题之前如何阅读。

　　浏览首段(或二段)及末段(细节不用看)、各段首句，浏览二段首句还是整段需要视情况而定，我们见识的文章多了就能非常熟练地有所取舍了。文章首段两句话分别是在说常识上的认识和最新的研究结果，该研究成果也就是文章的主题，It is plain common sense---......,but it's not true......Research...第二段结构和一段是一样的，常识加上研究的结果，同样又一次揭示主题，People might think......But when researchers......三段首句关键点是如何过上更幸福的生活，The recognition......may offer clues on how to lead a happier life. For example......紧接着后边是举例论证说明，不用看。四段给出了各个研究成果，settle on...also find...not find...but discover...

　　首句提到幸福是内心的富足。末段首句以问题开头，Why is unhappiness less influenced by environment?后边给出了原因以及具体的做法。因此，全文逻辑结构是探讨happiness and unhappiness的关系问题，总(1、2段提出二者关系)--分(3、4、5段解释原因及做法)结构。

　　把握了整体的文章框架，就能大概看出主题，并且对细节题目的定位也更精准。基础阶段，不怕走的慢，就怕走的歪，多多分析结构，见得多了在后期自然能顺利地hold住。希望大家踏实耐心复习，金榜题名。

　　It’s plain common sense—the more happiness you feel, the less unhappiness you experience. It’s plain common sense, but it’s not true. Recent research reveals that happiness and unhappiness are not really two sides of the same emotion. They are two distinct feelings that, coexisting, rise and fall independently.

　　People might think that the higher a person’s level of unhappiness, the lower their level of happiness and vice versa. But when researchers measure people’s average levels of happiness and unhappiness, they often find little relationship between the two.

　　The recognition that feelings of happiness and unhappiness can co-exist much like love and hate in a close relationship may offer valuable clues on how to lead a happier life. It suggests, for example, that changing or avoiding things that make you miserable may well make you less miserable, but probably won’t make you any happier. That advice is backed up by an extraordinary series of studies which indicate that a genetic predisposition for unhappiness may run in certain families. On the other hand, researchers have found happiness doesn’t appear to be anyone’s heritage. The capacity for joy is a talent you develop largely for yourself.

　　Psychologists have settled on a working definition of the feeling—happiness is a sense of subjective well-being. They have also begun to find out who’s happy, who isn’t and why. To date, the research hasn’t found a simple formula for a happy life, but it has discovered some of the actions and attitudes that seem to bring people closer to that most desired of feelings.

　　Why is unhappiness less influenced by environment? When we are happy, we are more responsive to people and keep up connections better than when we are feeling sad. This doesn’t mean, however, that some people are born to be sad and that’s that. Genes may predispose one to unhappiness, but disposition can be influenced by personal choice. You can increase your happiness through your own actions.
