Go back to the year of the high school entrance examination

Even if he wanted to buy shoes during Jiji, he would not buy Nikes, which obviously exceeded their family's consumption level. Besides, he has been very busy this semester, and he has no time to go out for a stroll. Ji's mother will do everything he wants to buy.

Soon he understood what was going on with his dad—during dinner, his dad coyly asked him if he got the first grade in the last monthly exam.

"It's just the first in terms of language and mathematics." Ji Shi picked up shredded jellyfish with his chopsticks, "Chemistry and physics are still not enough."

"Very good." Ji's father smiled until his wrinkles squeezed together, "You did well in the exam."

Ji Shi loves to eat shredded jellyfish mixed by his mother, so he added a handful of coriander to it, and then seasoned it with some soy sauce and vinegar. After eating a little, and drinking a mouthful of porridge, he felt his stomach warm up.

"Do you still have class in the evening?" Papa Ji asked.

"When will he not go?" Ji Ma glanced at him, "Otherwise, how do you think your grades will improve?"

"I didn't think so." Ji's father took out the money from his pocket and stuffed it into Ji Shi's hand, "You can buy whatever you like later on."

"I don't need it, there is no place to spend money now." If it was Ji Shi in the past, he would have accepted it unceremoniously, but now he really has no place to spend money, except for replenishing goods at the stationery store from time to time.

He found that buying stationery in the third year of high school was a big expense, and Huang Yaqiong would save a lot by using 0.38 refills. For those like Ji Shi who have a lot of practice questions, the amount of refills they buy is quite scary.

……

Ji Shi felt that the judgment that chemistry had reached the foundation building period should be correct, and he could feel it himself when he supplemented chemistry, his understanding of knowledge points, his reaction speed to the teacher's lecture...he was much better than last year. few.

"You have basically gotten started now." The tutoring teacher told him, "but you still need to consolidate and consolidate."

But even if the teacher said so, Ji Shi still didn't miss any knowledge points that should be reviewed.

The first grade in the last monthly exam gave Ji Shi a lot of encouragement, allowing him to see his possibility in the three subjects other than language and mathematics, but it also inspired Ji Shi to narrow the gap with his opponents in physics and chemistry.

He is far from satisfied.

"Ji Shi, what do you think about this question?"

Several other students in the cram school waved and called him over: "Let's discuss and discuss together."

"I'll take a look."

The students in this class are not very good in chemistry. If we rank them according to the chemistry scores of this monthly exam, Ji Shi may be the one with the best chemistry scores in the group, so everyone likes to ask him to discuss problems.

When they didn't know Ji Shi well, they thought that Ji Shi was the kind of academic master who was immersed in his own world. At that time, Ji Shi's grade ranking was already quite high.

But after getting along with each other, they realized that Ji Shi was not only not cold and cold, but on the contrary, he was quite honest and honest.

Some academic masters are impatient to give lectures to others, because they feel that it delays their study time, and some people are simply too lazy to deal with people with poor academic performance. Although this is human nature, from the perspective of poor academics, this kind The attitude is really annoying.

Ji Shi went over to take a look, and found that this question was quite difficult.

He immediately became interested, moved the stool to the side, picked up the draft paper and began to write the steps.

"It's the same as we thought, this reaction, but I don't know what to do later."

Ji Shi's expression was serious, and the reaction formula on the draft paper was extremely clear, but as several other people said, everyone can think of this step, but it is difficult to push forward.

He rested his chin in thought.

After a while, Ji Shi's pen tentatively wrote an extra line on the draft paper. At first, the speed was very slow, which showed that he was thinking, but after a while, his thinking became more and more smooth, and the writing speed The speed is getting faster and faster, and the solution to this problem is slowly taking shape on the draft paper.

"Amazing Ji Shi!"

"Oh, I understand, this should be the answer!"

Hearing their voices, the tutor also moved over, stared at the question for a while, then looked at Ji Shi's answer, and then took away the original question and the draft paper from Ji Shi's hand.

A few minutes later, he came over with a smile: "I've read this question, and Ji Shi's answer is the most accurate."

Ji Shi checked the questions and answers again.

It seems that it is not his illusion, his chemistry has indeed improved.

At least now when he is in the tutoring class, he is no longer the student who needs to be explained by the teacher for every question. He knows more questions and fewer questions he doesn't know. Speed ​​to solve it.

"Ji Shi, you are the first in your grade this time, right? I saw your name on the bulletin board downstairs."

Ji Shi nodded: "It's me."

He knew very well that no matter where he went, he couldn't escape this problem. Senior high school students paid too much attention to their grade rankings. They not only paid attention to their own, but also paid attention to who were the masters in their grades.

Ji Shi is the real master in their minds: "You also got an A in chemistry this time?"

"It's an A, but I feel that A+ is quite difficult."

"Don't worry." A boy next to him patted Ji Shi's arm, "I'm also getting an A this time, but my grades are not as good as yours. Grades are just a range, and our school's grading standards are not necessarily accurate."

"A is nice, I'm B."

The people who come here to take tutoring are all trying to get grades of A or A+. After all, hard work in language and mathematics counts as points, and every point is very precious. The grade really only needs to reach a level, and it has a lower limit. There, it really doesn't matter what the upper limit is.

To some extent, Ji Shi is actually the type of student who takes advantage of the college entrance examination in Suzhou Province.

In the two subjects of physics and chemistry, no matter whether it is taking the first place in the Z middle class or the first place in the province, there is no difference between the students who happen to be stuck on the A+ level line. Everyone belongs to the same level, so he only needs to rush to the A+ level. .

Assuming that the standard of A+ is 105 points, he only needs to get 105 points in the test, which is the same as the students who take the test with 120 points.

But he is more dominant in language and mathematics, but the scores are calculated. The higher the score, the closer to the top-level prestigious schools in China. From this point of view, he has an advantage over students who are excellent in physics and chemistry.

Sometimes in the cram school, I chatted about the progress of each class and how perverted my teacher was, but at the stage of the second semester of the third year of high school, everyone's concentration has improved, and more often they are talking about grades, related questions, etc. ranking thing.

——It is similar to the current painting style of their class.

The winter vacation is like a watershed. Last semester they looked like carefree high school seniors, but the next semester is already approaching them as mature adults.

Ji Shi's mentality didn't fluctuate much, on the contrary, he felt calmer.

The main reason is chemistry.

His chemistry is slowly but effectively evolving, but anxiety cannot speed up this process. On the contrary, once he feels irritable and anxious, his judgment on the topic is not as good as usual. When he calms down and thinks, Ji Shi can often solve the problem smoothly. Answers to each question.

……

The weather has been so warm recently that Ji Shi can wear school uniform directly. On the only Sunday off, he went to a nearby barbershop to cut his hair shorter, which made it look more irritating to the touch. As a result, when he went to self-study at night Only then did they realize that most of the boarding students in their class had cut their hair, and Yao Meng had also cut their hair.

"Did you make an appointment to get your hair cut together?" Ji Shi asked curiously.

"Hair grows too fast." Yao Meng touched the back of his head, "I would have called you if I knew you were going."

In Z County, there is also a saying that my uncle died when he shaves his head during the first month. Usually, he cuts his hair a few days before the Chinese New Year, because the next cut will have to wait until the first month. Ji Shi has been writing topics during the winter vacation. I don't have time to get a haircut at all, and my hair grows long if I don't pay attention.

"I don't have time to go out now. I won't call you if I have anything to do."

Entering the second semester of the third year of high school, everyone puts more energy into their studies. Before Ji Shi, he would hang out with Zeng Tairan and Zhou Weile, but now he only goes out when he is tired, and stays at home to read books at other times.

They are used to this boring but fulfilling life.

But even now, someone in their class was caught peeking at the novel. Just a few days ago in the evening self-study, the person who caught him was not the old donkey, but the dean who came out to patrol the classroom at night. I saw a few people muttering in the back of the classroom, wanting to see what the students were doing, but they caught on right away.

They thought that the old donkey would be furious, but the old donkey actually let this matter go lightly.

"He doesn't bother to care about it anymore. It's no use to care about it at this time."

Those boys wrote a self-criticism and handed it over to the Academic Affairs Office, and they were reminded that it was impossible to return his books to him.

"Maybe we will be able to return it when we graduate." Zeng Tairan said, "Our school teachers have collected mobile phones many times, and they will have to return these things when we graduate."

It is said that there is a cabinet in the old donkey's office to store the confiscated students' things, and they will return it when they graduate from high school.

But it is true that the old donkey has come to the classroom less frequently recently.

The focus of discipline management in Z Middle School is always the first and second year of senior high school. In the first semester of the third year of senior high school, you can manage it occasionally. In the next semester, in the words of the teachers, the students are all stereotyped at that time, and there is no point in managing it anymore.

But the old donkey didn't care. After being discovered by the dean once, no one brought novels to his class for evening self-study.

Ji Shi hasn't read magazines like Chicken Soup for the Soul recently, because he found that the examples in "Reader" and "Youth Digest" are used too much, and there may be more than a dozen people in their school who take an exam in these two magazines. Looking at the whole province, how many people would give the same example and quote the same famous quote?He is the marking teacher and he is not willing to read it.

The Chinese teacher once taught them that if you really don’t know the famous quotes of famous people, don’t write them. If you have to write them, you can edit them as a last resort. Lu Xun is one of the hardest-hit areas for adaptation. "Romain Rolland has a famous saying." Anyway, the invigilator can't verify whether Lu Xun and Roman Rolland have said it, and they can't call Lu Xun and Roman Rolland to ask them. If they really want to make it up, feel free to make it up.

Ji Shi was still reading the encyclopedia of essays.

In the composition encyclopedia, all the excellent model essays in recent years are selected and edited. In Ji Shi's eyes, Huang Yaqiong's composition can basically reach this level. The feeling of writing.

Ji Shi wrote the four big characters "Green Life" on the draft paper.

The closer the college entrance examination was, the more impressed he was with his composition for the college entrance examination. He remembered that what he wrote was about rural life, but later he read the analysis of famous teachers and said that this composition was about environmental protection and environment-related content. Ji Shi probably understood what happened to his poor Chinese scores back then.

Anyway, he never thought about environmental protection in his mind back then. In order to make his composition more down-to-earth, he seemed to have written some rural dialects, saying that life in the countryside is very green, and the life of farmers is getting better every day... Now that I think about it, it's probably a million miles away from the topic.

It's a pity that he can't remember other requirements other than the four words "Green Life". Ji Shi couldn't help but sighed. If he had composition requirements at hand, his thinking should be able to expand a little bit.

But that was ten years ago after all, he didn't need to be so harsh on himself.
