                     新闻内容

Yoshihide Suga took over Wednesday as Japan's first new prime minister in almost eight years, replacing the country's longest-serving premier, Shinzo Abe, who stepped down citing health concerns.

Suga, 71, was sworn in by Emperor Naruhito at the Imperial Palace after parliament elected him as prime minister.

Suga was Abe's chief Cabinet secretary and head government spokesman. Now he pledges to forge ahead with his predecessor's key policies, including his efforts to jump-start the economy and to revise Japan's postwar constitution, which restricts the use of its military.

鉴于大家已经看过中文新闻，所以这里不做过多解析，尽管阅读原版新闻就好。

想必大家都会有此感受，如果对阅读材料的语言背景了解得越多，那么就越容易读懂文章。所以知识面丰富有助于英语学习，死记硬背的效果并不好，往往事倍功半。

随着环境的变迁和时代的发展，语言也会产生变化。因此，语言的学习需要与时俱进，精益求精。这也是昕妈建议大家阅读权威外刊杂志的原因。

通过日积月累对原版新闻的收看，有助于我们了解国际社会真实发生的事件，从而了解了英文国家的价值观和思维方式，更好地促进听说读写能力的提升。

当然语言学习一定要考虑学习者的Individual differences（个体差异），其中anxiety, motivation等都是对语言学习过程产生关键性作用的不可或缺情感因素。如果英语水平还没有到一定的程度，就去读非常高端晦涩的原版文章，产生的焦虑情绪会让你非常排斥语言学习。建议循序渐进的学习模式，这世上没有一蹴而就的成功。
