God's Crown

"My professor wanted me to go to Princeton University for graduate study." An Yan recalled what the professor told him to go to Princeton University for graduate study. "However, I think Stanford or the University of California are more suitable for me."

"I've always heard you talking about Princeton, Princeton." The third uncle looked at An Yan with his mouth in his mouth and said, "What kind of school is this Princeton University?" Speaking of which, he had never heard of such a school as Princeton University.As for the prestigious schools in the United States, he has heard of Harvard University.As for other schools, he had never heard of them.

It can't be said that he is ignorant, after all, it is impossible for the parents of ordinary students to know about these famous schools.This is especially true in the top schools of science.It's as if students from other countries don't know the prestigious schools in Huaguo. If such a prestigious school didn't have its ambition here, many people would not know it.

"Princeton University?" An Yan said with a smile, "In the global academic rankings, the No. 1 school in mathematics is Princeton University, and physics is ranked 7th. It is considered a top university in science. Or Stanford and the University of California, Berkeley, etc. They are all very good schools. Moreover, these schools have many Nobel Prize winners and Fields Medal winners as professors. Needless to say, the academic atmosphere, if the academic atmosphere of such schools is not good enough, I am afraid There is no school with a very good academic atmosphere."

"In other words, these schools are very good schools, aren't they?"

"Yes, it's just a little difficult to get in. I don't know if I can get in yet." After An Yan finished speaking, she forced a smile at her relatives.

What he said is also true, these schools are indeed very difficult to apply for.Especially for the majors in these schools, such as physics, chemistry, mathematics, etc., unless you are a particularly outstanding student, it is extremely difficult to apply for a place in these schools.

"It's still early for you. It's just a plan now. You don't necessarily have to go to a graduate school in the future. Maybe you will be admitted?" The uncle said with a smile, "Don't be too arrogant, think about it , Your previous grades were quite poor, right? Now you can go to the University of Zurich. Think about it, is there anything else that can be difficult for you? There is still so much time, hurry up and study, maybe you will graduate in a few years After that, you will be able to enter these schools."

"

kindness. "An Yan nodded and didn't continue talking. He just listened to the adults chatting all the time. If he said that he can actually go to graduate school directly, wouldn't it be too much to show off to his relatives? What's more, no one asked about it, so he I don't want to say it either. It's somewhat embarrassing to say these things by myself.

It's better not to say it, it's said for no reason, it sounds like it's showing off something.

The adults started chatting, but it had nothing to do with them, the children.A group of children were listening to the adults chatting, and they wanted to go out to play, but in fact they really couldn't go out to play.It's cold outside, and there's no place to play, even if you want to go somewhere.

Everyone was sitting in the room, and the uncle pointed to the room inside and said, "You guys, go to the room and warm yourself by the fire, it's quite cold outside."

"Hey." Hearing the uncle's voice, the children went straight to the next room as if they had been pardoned.An Yan sat in the middle, and everyone looked at An Yan curiously.The An family has many children, six or seven in total, and An Yan is the one in the middle.Not the oldest child, nor the youngest.

There are others older than him, but they haven't come home yet.It should be due to work, but I heard that it will take a day or two before the Spring Festival before I can go home.

Several children were sitting in front of the oven, chatting while warming the fire.

An Xu is quite interested in what An Yan has seen and heard abroad, "Brother An Yan, did you encounter anything particularly interesting abroad?"

"That's not true." An Yan touched his head, grabbed a handful of hair, and thought hard.He didn't seem to have anything special to say.But An Xu is also planning to study abroad, An Yan suddenly remembered, "Where are you going to study? Have you chosen it? Is there any contact over there?"

"Yinglun, my mother is over there." An Xu smiled at An Yan, and An Yan knew about this.My uncle and aunt have divorced. It should be said that An Yan's former aunt settled in England and asked An Xu to study there.

"What subject do you want to choose? I don't know the schools in England. For example, if it is a prestigious school, it must be Cambridge, Oxford University, etc. I knew a professor from the University of Manchester before."

"Wow, University of Manchester, that sounds pretty good too."

An Yan turned her head and saw that the speaker was An Yuan, the third uncle's child.Yasuhara is actually quite good at studying, and his grades are fairly stable.Before An Yan studied hard, he could be said to be the best book-reading boy in the An family, bar none.

It's just that An Yan's grades suddenly improved, which caught people off guard.It's not a problem for An Yuan's grades to be admitted to a key university, but if he wants to go abroad for further studies, he still needs to work hard.

Yasuhara is not stupid, but rather clever.But because of these cleverness, it is difficult for him to continue his studies.Of course, this is not what An Yan can know.Hearing An Yuan's words, An Yan turned his head to look at An Yuan and said word by word, "Of course not bad, after all, it is also a school with Nobel Prize winners."

An Yuan became interested, "Manchester University also has Nobel Prize winners? There seem to be many Nobel Prize winners in foreign universities."

"Almost. The best comprehensive university in Europe is the best comprehensive university in Zurich. Of course, old universities like Oxford or Cambridge are also very good." When talking about this, An Yan paused, looking Xiang Anyuan, "Are you also planning to study abroad?"

"I don't know." An Yuan shook his head and said, "Maybe I won't. I passed the college entrance examination and was admitted to a key undergraduate course. It is still far away from any famous university abroad. I have never thought about going to a famous university abroad. , I thought, if I can be admitted to a better university, it is already very good.”

An Yan didn't speak, and he didn't know what to say about this matter.Encourage An Yuan, if An Yuan fails the exam, do you have to blame him?If you want to say something discouraging, it is estimated that An Yuan will hate him now, so it is better for him to choose not to speak decisively.

A few children, here An Yan, An Yuan and An Xu are about the same age, and the other children are just in junior high school.They can't get into this topic, and they don't know what to say.So just listening to the three of them chatting silently, An Yuan brought a glass of water from somewhere, put it aside and supported his head with his hands and asked, "An Yan, I remember that your grades were not so good before. I heard you re-read it?"

"Yes, didn't I just take the junior college entrance examination before? Then I repeated it for a year."

"Then did you take the college entrance examination?" An Yuan became interested. He was two grades lower than An Yan and was about to take the college entrance examination. He also wanted to ask An Yan how he managed to pass the exam in less than a year. Got into a good school.However, to be able to go to a prestigious university, and to study in a foreign university, no matter how you think about it, it doesn't look like you have passed the college entrance examination.

Generally, if you want to study abroad, especially if your university is studying abroad, shouldn't you just go abroad without taking the college entrance examination?

"Of course I took the college entrance examination." An Yan nodded vigorously, "If I didn't take the college entrance examination, the University of Zurich might not want me."

"Then how much score did you get in the college entrance examination?"

"Uh, more than 700 points."

"Wow..." An Xu gasped from the side, "Brother An Yan, you scored more than 700 in the college entrance examination? How did you improve your grades? Isn't this too... scary?"

"Reading more books and questioning sea tactics can always improve your grades, right?"

"Is that so?" An Yuan didn't quite believe it, could this improve his grades?No way, he also spends every day on sea tactics, so why doesn't he have much room for improvement in his grades?It feels like the questions he did are different from those An Yan did.

"Brother An Yan, what did you do after you went to college?" An Xu just heard that An Yuan said that he doesn't need to teach every day, as long as he can get credits.

"Read professional books in the library, and then do experiments, do projects, and do all kinds of things." Rubbing between her brows, An Yan felt very tired just thinking about it.

"Is university so tiring?" An Xu seemed to be frightened, looking at An Yan's tired expression and said, "Oh my God, it turns out that university is so tiring, and my mother told me that foreign universities are not tiring. .”

"It depends on what you think." An Yan disagreed with An Xu's point of view, or her aunt's point of view, "Think about it, especially those well-known universities. Not to mention foreign ones, even if they are the key points in China University, which school has no geniuses? If you don’t work hard, others are working hard. Others’ IQs are higher than yours. If you don’t work hard, can you catch up with others? What’s more, they will work hard. So if you want to pass A fulfilling college life is quite tiring, especially the amount of study, which is much more than high school.”

"Of course, if you just want to be a salted fish, that's much better."

"Why is it so much better?" An Yuan thought about An Yan's words, and it was undeniable that An Yan's words were correct.There are also many academic gods and academic masters with good grades in key universities in China.Even if you work hard in college, you may not be able to catch up with others.Not to mention not working hard, but working hard is difficult for most people.

The first is the issue of self-control. An Yan's self-control is very strong.It may also be that the academic throne has exercised his self-control, which is weak for most people.Although I know that I have to work hard, after studying for a few days, I will think that I have studied for so long, and I should relax.

How can I persevere.
