内容简介

When I decided to quit my full-time employment it never occurred to me that I might become a part of a new international trend. A lateral move that hurt my pride and blocked my professional progress prompted me to abandon my relatively high profile career although, in the manner of a disgraced government minister, I covered my exit by claiming “I wanted to spend more time with my family”. Curiously, some two-and-a-half years and two novels later, my experiment in what the Americans term “downshifting” has turned my tired excuse into an absolute reality. I have been transformed from a passionate advocate of the philosophy of “having it all”, preached by Linda Kelsey for the past seven years in the pages of She magazine, into a woman who is happy to settle for a bit of everything. I have discovered, as perhaps Kelsey will after her much-publicized resignation from the editorship of She after a build-up of stress, that abandoning the doctrine of “juggling your life”, and making the alternative move into “downshifting” brings with it far greater rewards than financial success and social status. Nothing could persuade me to return to the kind of life Kelsey used to advocate and I once enjoyed: 12-hour working days, pressured deadlines, the fearful strain of office politics and the limitations of being a parent on “quality time”. In America, the move away from juggling to a simpler, less materialistic lifestyle is a well-established trend. Downshifting—also known in America as “voluntary simplicity”—has, ironically, even bred a new area of what might be termed anti-consumerism. There are a number of best-selling downshifting self-help books for people who want to simplify their lives; there are newsletters, such as The Tightwad Gazette, that give hundreds of thousands of Americans useful tips on anything from recycling their cling-film to making their own soap; there are even support groups for those who want to achieve the mid-’90s equivalent of dropping out. While in America the trend started as a reaction to the economic decline—after the mass redundancies caused by downsizing in the late ’80s—and is still linked to the politics of thrift, in Britain, at least among the middle-class downshifters of my acquaintance, we have different reasons for seeking to simplify our lives. For the women of my generation who were urged to keep juggling through the ’80s, downshifting in the mid-’90s is not so much a search for the mythical good life—growing your own organic vegetables, and risking turning into one—as a personal recognition of your limitations. 适用对象： 大三考研、在职考研以及四级未能通过的考生； 练习考研英语近十年真题有难度的考生； 考研初始阶段，需要了解考研英语命题规律和解题技巧的考生； 词汇量不足，看不懂真题文章的考生； 推荐理由： 1. 收录约2000年到2010年考研真题，按题型、主题分类训练，总结考研英语命题规律，点拨答题技巧； 2. 本书共设4大分册，包含考研英语词汇与长难句、阅读A节基础训练、完形与阅读B节基础训练、翻译与写作基础训练； 3. 真题训练部分，解析详细，附有全文翻译，且逐段逐句讲解文章，以图解的方式讲解真题出现的长难句； 4. 挑选真题中的重点词汇，附以音标、词性、释义，让考生能读懂真题中每一句话、每一个单词，使考生在备考初始阶段打好词汇、语法基础； 5. 考研英语一备考视频课，了解考试题型及特点，掌握各题型解题技巧。
