Passage 2
The war was the most peaceful period of my life. The window of my bedroom faced southeast. My mother had curtained it，but that had small effect. I always woke up with the first light and，with all the responsibilities of the previous day melted，felt myself rather like the sun，ready to shine and feel joy. Life never seemed so simple and clear and full of possibilities as then. I stuck my feet out under the sheets-I called them Mrs. Left and Mrs. Right-and invented dramatic situations for them in which they discussed the problems of the day. At least Mrs. Right did；she easily showed her feelings，but I didn“t have the same control of Mrs. Left，so she mostly contented herself with nodding agreement.
They discussed what Mother and I should do during the day，what Santa Claus should give a fellow for Christmas，and what steps should be taken to brighten the home. There was that little matter of the baby，for instance. Mother and I could never agree about that. Ours was the only house in the neighborhood without a new baby，and Mother said we couldn”t afford one till Father came back from the war because if cost seventeen and six. That showed how foolish she was. The Geneys up the road had a baby，and everyone knew they couldn“t afford seventeen and six. It was probably a cheap baby，and Mother wanted something really good，but I felt she was too hard to please. The Geneys”baby would have done us fine.
Having settled my plans for the day，I got up，put a chair under my window，and lifted the frame high enough to stick out my head. The window overlooked the front gardens of the homes behind ours，and beyond these it looked over a deep valley to the tall，red-brick house up the opposite hillside，which were all still shadow，while those on our side of the valley were all lit up，though with long storage shadows that made them seem unfamiliar，stiff and painted.
After that I wentsintosMother“s room and climbedsintosthe big bed. She woke and I began to tell her of my schemes. By this time，though I never seem to have noticed it，I was freezing in my nightshirt，but I warmed up as I talked until the last frost melted. I fell asleep beside her and woke again only when I heard her below in the kitchen，making breakfast.

的延伸阅读——复习英语要讲究技巧
一，重视单词。
从第一天开始复习到考试的前一天，考试大纲词汇就应不离手，因为这是一切的基础。考试大纲是命题专家出题的依据、基础，所以考生一定要重视。背单词时，可以总结同义词、一词多义以及包含“高级”短语的句子，然后跟同桌的研友们对话，或者“厚颜无耻”地主动向他们“炫耀”，同时也坚持参加英语辩论活动，把自己最新积累的词句一一“亮”出，这样考生会感觉记得特别牢固。
二，日积月累。
作为一门语言，充满了繁琐与细节的，想一口吃成大胖子是不太现实的，必须耐心地积累“量变”以求“质变”。学习英语的时间安排也是有规律可循的，如果你一天安排3个小时学英语，那么与其一鼓作气学3个小时倒不如改成上下午各1.5小时。持续学习、及时复习才能收到较为理想的效果。可以参照着名的“艾宾浩斯遗忘曲线”来合理安排时间，最大限度地降低遗忘率，以获得较好的学习效果。
三，研读真题。
历年考研英语全真试题是了解考研水平的最快途径，也是熟悉命题规律的唯一途径。所以要在老师的指导下分阶段复习考研英语真题。找一个安静的环境，先用一周的时间做一套真题，做完后，对自己的错题先看一下怎么错的，错在哪里，能不能解决。剩下的时间要分析题型，也就是看这些题目是属于细节题、推理题，还是主旨大意题……当复习完十年的真题，建议考生放20天左右的时间，重新再做真题，分析自己的做题思路，考前一个月适当做些高质量的模拟题练练手。另外，希望考生真题至少看三遍。第一遍先做，做完之后归纳总结错题的原因。第二遍主要精读文章解决单词句子翻译。第三遍前两遍的内容都要看。
四，增加课外阅读。
课外阅读在考研英语复习中占有重要地位，对提高成绩有很大作用，建议大家订一份《英语世界》杂志，阅读上面的文章，也会有不少收获。如果有条件，看看自己学校图书馆是否有这本书，有的话坚持看，肯定会有收获的！
希望以上的介绍对2013的考研同学有所帮助，另外，大家在学习英语学习方法时，要从自身实际出发，选择真正适合自己的复习方法。 |
