Chapter 299 College Entrance Examination
July 7, 1999, Wednesday, Xiaoshu.
At six o'clock in the morning, Feng Yiping didn't get up at six o'clock on time as before. Instead, he didn't get up until seven o'clock, and the exam didn't start until nine o'clock. He got up too early and was too excited. He might fall asleep as soon as he entered the examination room.
This morning, Huang Jingping went into the room to see Feng Yiping twice. At this time, she was sitting on the sofa looking out in a daze. When she saw him get up, she hurriedly said, "I'll get you some water."
"No, brush your teeth first, take a shower after breakfast,"
"You don't even wash your face!" Huang Jingping smiled and shot him a look.
In the morning, it is still noodle milk, and the noodles are abalone and prawn lo mein. Feng Yiping has been eating like this for a month, and his stomach has long been used to it.
After eating breakfast and taking a shower, it was only 7:40. Feng Yiping still had time to turn on the TV to watch the news. Huang Jingping also nestled in his arms as usual, chatting casually, "It's very hot today, "
"Don't worry, I'm not afraid of the heat."
"Do you feel that today is very quiet?" Huang Jingping raised her head and asked him.
Really, all the noises of life in the community have disappeared. Sitting at home, you can hear the sound of cars passing by on the road in front of you. Of course, these cars did not honk their horns.
In fact, not only today, but from this week onwards, the noise has decreased, and from night to night, it is as quiet as Feng Jiachong's night, no, it is quieter than Feng Jiachong's night, not even a dog barking.
"It's better now!" Feng Yiping said without thinking.
Isn’t that right? Although the government didn’t make repeated orders on TV and newspapers, my brother didn’t set up a special car to deliver the test, and the society didn’t spontaneously set up a special car to send the test with love. God knows it.
For example, Mei Yiliang gave all the employees in the engineering department a three-day holiday. This move was also approved by the owners who were renovating.
In the cities along the river, on such a hot summer night, after dinner, it is normal for the whole family to go out for a walk to escape the summer heat. Some squares are very lively at night, but in these two days, everyone spontaneously pays attention to their words and deeds. Holidays, walks instead, try not to make too much noise.
Later, those few grandpas and aunts who were more energetic than strong laborers danced square dances with more enthusiasm and passion than usual during the college entrance examination. It seemed that if they didn't dance for three days, they would suffer from high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, diabetes, Old cold legs..., all these problems will come back at once.
It doesn’t work when the city management comes, and it doesn’t work when the police station comes. That is certainly a kind of social progress: you can’t sacrifice my freedom to exercise just because you want the college entrance examination, but, from another perspective, isn’t this a kind of regression? ?
The life of ordinary people is definitely incomparable with that of twenty years later, and the overall social morality has also deteriorated compared with previous years, but it is much better than that of twenty years later. It becomes news, because that's not a problem, just a few people passing by can help it.
Later, the days got better and better, and there were more and more laws. Everyone taught the law according to the law in everything, but some public morals passed down for thousands of years were also swept into the pile of old papers by many people, just like Feng Yiping watched several issues later. A talk show with several people on a certain TV station in Hong Kong compared the two places in almost everything, and everywhere said how perfect the laws are there. Feng Yiping was interested at first, but then he couldn't stand it at all.
For people, morality is still a higher level than law after all, and the legal system they boast about all day long cannot solve the social chaos they face.
At 7:50, Feng Yiping and Huang Jingping went downstairs. Feng Yiping was holding a small bag with stationery and documents in it. The car from the metal products factory was waiting downstairs. Seeing the two of them going downstairs, the driver When they came down, Ding Qiang also got out. Feng Yiping felt a little embarrassed, "Why are you here too? Call me and let us come down sooner!"
"Just arrived for a while, let's go, we just went around, near the school, the traffic is still smooth now."
Not only will he not call today, but since yesterday, his home phone and mobile phone have not rang. Last weekend, everyone including Zhang Yan called or sent text messages to express their greetings and wishes. After that, the day before yesterday, Feng Zhen Chang and Mei Qiuping called him in the evening and only told him to eat and drink well for two days.
The two of them sat in the back seat and fastened their seat belts. When the driver was driving, he said with a smile, "I'm not used to the quietness from morning till night these two days."
Isn't it true, those who like to be lively, are really not used to it these two days.
Unlike when school starts in September every year, Zhongshan Road is crowded with all kinds of vehicles. Today, this area is very smooth. There are traffic police and police officers on duty at the intersection, trying to persuade irrelevant vehicles to detour. Feng Yiping and the others were able to successfully Drive to the restricted line near the school, in the section ahead, only ambulances and police cars are inside.
"You go back too, don't worry," Feng Yiping said to Huang Jingping. Although he repeatedly told his family and those in the provincial capital not to come over today, who knows if they will slip over and watch secretly? There are not many days before going to college, so it is better not to make such a bloody plot.
Even if the family is here, as long as they don't take the initiative to show up, Feng Yiping won't be able to find them today. There are too many parents on both sides of the road who come to send them for the exam. The ones in this school are fine. Those in other schools and other places, the parents have been there for two days. Work harder than students.
Not only the parents came, but Feng Yiping saw that some families had four or five elderly people surrounding a child. Of course, most of them were just smiling and chatting as usual. Only a few parents were like sending athletes to the field. Like the coach, he whispered in his children's ears, and Feng Yiping wanted to go up and persuade him. At this time, anything that makes candidates nervous is not advisable.
When he entered the door, he habitually glanced at the convenience store opposite from the top of the crowd. In front of the two large buckets of free tea at the door, there were parents queuing up to refill the water. There were only a few people inside. It seems that today Business is good.
Cai Hong, who was standing at the door, immediately shrank back into the store with her arms in her arms, "It's okay, he can't see here," Feng Yuxuan and Mei Yiliang actually looked this way with a telescope.
Not long after Feng Yiping entered the school, there was a commotion near the gate. A father ran towards the ambulance with a girl in his arms, "Doctor, doctor!"
Immediately, a group of parents gathered around and asked with concern, "Are you all right?"
No big deal, this is the first girl who fainted from too much pressure.
Feng Yuxuan watched with lingering fear, and sighed, "It's really not easy!"
Candidates who enter the examination room should sit down according to the seat number on the admission ticket after the invigilator at the door inspects the admission ticket and stationery half an hour in advance. Everyone is very quiet. The students looked around excitedly.
Feng Yiping's seat is better than that in the high school entrance examination. It is not under the nose of the invigilator in front, but in the third row, close to the window, and the location is good.
Feng Yiping is very relaxed now. Although the college entrance examination is important, he has also experienced times that are more important than the college entrance examination in the next thirty years of his life. It is more important than the test. Naturally, the more important it is, the more important it is. Moment, the more you have to calm down.
So he stared out of the window and quietly took a deep breath.
Five minutes before the exam, the Chinese test papers were handed out. Feng Yiping did not read them as a whole like many students did. Instead, he started to do the first question silently. Five minutes later, he also did five multiple-choice questions. He felt that it was not too difficult. The troublesome point of the sixth question is the selection and connection of the six sentences. He is thinking about it, and the time to answer the question is up.
He was stuck on the sixth question for a while. He did the ten multiple-choice questions in the first part very quickly.
The second part is classical Chinese reading, which is also his strong point, and the six questions did not take him much time.
The third part is reading, which is reading scientific and technological texts. There are four small questions in total. Feng Yiping thinks that it mainly tests the induction and analysis of the main points in the text, and understands the important sentences in the text. He is good at listening, and from a lot of other people's nonsense, he can tell that the biggest problem with the failure of this business is not the price, but that he wants a love madness and love pie. This short essay of several hundred words written on paper, How can it be difficult to stop him?
The fourth part is actually reading. It seems that this year's college entrance examination focuses on the test of ability, and the content of knowledge is reduced. It's a pity that I have memorized so many books.
The fifth part has only three small questions, mainly to test the ability of expression. Feng Yiping's on-the-spot expression may not be very good, but the scrutiny in writing is really hard for him.
For example, the second question is based on a press conference on price adjustment by the Ministry of Information Industry, and draft a news item of no more than 22 characters. Say, is this even a problem?
After this question is over, there is only the last composition left. Feng Yiping once again lamented the many books he had memorized so hard. Chinese textbooks can also get good grades.
But the composition made him very happy, because there was only one question, and the style was not limited (except poetry), although the scope of the composition was some brain-burning content such as "if memory can be transplanted".
Feng Yiping looked at the time, and it was just ten o'clock, so he decided to think about what style of writing he should write.
In fact, for him who has read a lot of online articles, there are many choices, such as science fiction, which has too much room for development. Imagine, if you master such a unique technology and open a specialized hospital like this, Then you think about it, what a wonderful money scene.
Also, it can also be written as a supernatural ability. By chance, you can transplant the memories of all kinds of people, so is it still a thing to study for exams?
Of course, it is also possible to write an argumentative essay from the perspective of worry, but it is not easy to make a good argumentative essay, and it is not very pleasing.
... ... ...
There are too many choices, but Feng Yiping hesitated, but he didn't hesitate for a while, but for such an exam, what should he do to get a high score without causing controversy? The seniors have already done it for him. example.
For example, during the imperial examinations in the feudal era, scholars would study the habits of the chief examiner, inquire about his preferences, and at the same time pay attention to the intentions of the supreme ruler and the emperor, and then write a comprehensive article.
No matter what the time is, the article must be recognized by people, and no mistakes should be made. Political correctness is always the premise. I don’t see the Oscars in the United States, the most commercially developed country, and the most unconstrained film industry. In fact, it also pays attention to political correctness?
Exams are not for fame, but for getting high scores. Let’s put aside the controversial science fiction themes. Feng Yiping chose his prose, starting from life, from history, reality and future, to human emotions and technological development. Wait, integrate thinking, history, and poetry into one, and as a result, I wrote too much at once, close to 1,200 words.
This is not a big problem. He refined it on the draft paper. It took him a long time to write the novel before, but the benefits are also great. For example, the paragraphs of text he left behind are beautiful. It is also clean and restrained, and the writing is plain and calm yet powerful. He himself thinks that this should be a masterpiece that will not cause controversy!
The invigilator in front of him looked at the smile on his face and was a little surprised. This poor boy will be fine, right?
Of course it's okay, the teachers probably wouldn't have imagined that a candidate would be narcissistic at such a time!
When the composition is neatly transcribed, there are still 40 minutes left. After Feng Yiping has carefully checked it three times from beginning to end, there are still more than ten minutes left, so let's stay in a daze. !
As soon as the bell rang, the parents guarding outside also became commotion. Many parents lay on the wrought iron fence of the school and stretched out their hands to the children who came out of the examination room. "Of course it's best to add a sentence, "How is it?"
Seeing Feng Yiping come out with a smile, Feng Yuxuan rubbed her neck, "Uncle, I'll go back now, and I won't come in the afternoon." She knew that politics in the afternoon was not a problem for her younger brother.
After getting into the car, Huang Jingping asked with concern, "How is it?"
"You did well!" Feng Yiping smiled and kissed her on the cheek.
