今晚昕妈推出《阅读外刊学英文》第二十期，帮你提升无障碍阅读的能力，享受学习的快乐。
阅读技巧指南
一、培养英语阅读和思考习惯，尽量摈弃母语的思维定式，学会通过上下文逻辑关系、词缀、行文衔接等推断生词意思，进而可以深挖文本，了解字里行间的意思。
二、尽自己最大的努力理解文章，把握主旨，并不强求逐字逐句去理解透彻。如果遇到生词，先猜一下它的意思，再看注释。学会通篇读下来，理解大意，抓住主要观点。
三、根据自己实际主动学习，查缺补漏，通过阅读不断提升。阅读的量积累到一定程度，我们的英文水平就会有质的飞跃。
四、不要为了阅读而阅读，阅读既是一种享受原汁原味语言魅力的过程，更是一个学习借鉴的积累进程。一篇好的文章，其中的表达，包括词汇、句式、语法等层面都会有很多值得我们学习积累的地方。

Being hauled before Congress is, on the face of it, a sign of success. But it also marks a difficult moment for Google’s leaders: the onset of corporate middle age. This is a problem as old as business itself. How do companies sustain the creativity and agility that made them great, even as they forge a culture and corporate machine that is built to last?
The cultural challenge is fuzzier but no less urgent for a firm that is proud of its unusual corporate character. The freewheeling ethos that was so successful in Google’s early days has become a liability. It works much less well at scale.
Google now has nearly 120,000 employees, and even more temporary contractors. Doing things from the bottom up has become harder as the workforce has grown larger and less like-minded, with squabbles breaking out over everything from gender politics and the serving of meat in cafeterias to Google’s sale of technology to police forces.
