The city's junior high school subject competition, a total of four subjects, in addition to mathematics and natural science, as well as Chinese and English. However, in this place of Dongou City, both the official and the common people, the mentality of the competition is quite narrow, and it is generally believed that among the four competitions, only the first two can reflect the IQ and have the meaning of the competition, and the language and English are actually a dispensable addition - among them, the status of English is slightly higher than the language.

This idea is embodied in the rules of the competition, that is, the examination time for mathematics and natural sciences, which is set in the morning when everyone usually thinks of "the brain is more awake in the day", and the time is from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., both of which are 120 minutes. Math on Saturdays, Natural Sciences on Sundays. The Chinese and English were arranged in the afternoons of these two days.

But the arrangement of time is still a relatively implicit discrimination, and the arrangement that really insults children with liberal arts tendencies lies in the number of places. There are 600 city-wide places for mathematics and natural sciences, and only 300 for Chinese and English.

According to incomplete statistics, around 1995-1996, the number of people taking the high school entrance examination in Dongou City was basically stable in the range of 8-90,000, that is to say, in the era when Lin Miao was at this time, the total number of junior high school students in the city was almost 100,000, and at least 90,000 in terms of the least.

According to this ratio, it is equivalent to an average of only one student in every 300 people who are allowed to participate in Chinese or English competitions, and a large part of them are still taken away by students with better science scores.

The most typical is like Dongou Experimental Middle School, which is often a student with top-notch academic performance, and one person has four places alone, and does not give any chance for a single subject player with strong Chinese or English to play. There are also county-level junior high schools similar to the subordinate counties and districts of Dongou City, which suck blood and monopolize the educational resources of a place, such as Ounan Middle School, Jiangbei No. 2 High School, and Liucheng Middle School, which are almost all played by this method. Therefore, the so-called reliance on liberal arts in junior high school is basically impossible.

The so-called good students are either good in both science and liberal arts, or they are strong in science but slightly weaker in liberal arts. For kids like those who score above average overall, but are clearly better than those in the sciences, the school and society have a fixed bias against them – I'm sorry, your IQ is insufficient, please top up in time. Therefore, the so-called city-wide discipline competition is also jokingly called the city-wide science competition.

As long as a school can win the top prize in mathematics and natural science, the school leader will have a lot of face on his face. Of course, if you can also win English, it will be the icing on the cake. It's like after my big country table tennis won the gold medal in the National Games and the Olympic Games, I won the gold medal in the Asian Games. Only language, at most, is the gold content of the Universiade - it is said to be the world champion, but compared with the first three, it is always easy to be ignored, and it may be that the participants themselves and their families will never forget......

Having said so much, Lin Miao is actually completely inexperienced in the city's discipline competitions.

When he was studying in the 18th Middle School, although his grades were the best in the whole school, the principal of the 18th Middle School that year left a very bad impression on the leaders of the city and the district because of the use of his power to pick up girls and divorce his wife. Coupled with the results of the eighteenth middle school, I haven't been able to get it for many years, and it seems that the most powerful one is that Lin Miao won the third prize in English last year, and in addition, there has been no harvest for eight consecutive years. So when it came to Lin Miao's session, he was only allocated 2 quotas for English competitions and 2 quotas for language competitions. It was 2003, and to participate in the city-wide competition, you had to fight for a round of district competitions.

Lin Miao was holding two places in Chinese and English at that time, and together with another girl, carrying the hopes of the whole village, facing foreign Chinese junior high schools, experimental middle schools, Dongou No. 2 Middle School, etc., who could kill a bunch of county-level junior high school masters in the county below, they simply finished the exam in the district, and the scum returned home, and they didn't even know where the door to the city's competition was.

Speaking of which, it is also quite humiliating.

Of course, having said that, according to his level at that time, he really couldn't be compared with the top players in the city, otherwise he wouldn't have been admitted to Dongou No. 2 High School in the high school entrance examination, not Dongou Middle School. You must know that since then, Dongou Middle School has begun to expand its enrollment, from 1,200 to 1,800 students. Lin Miao was only admitted to the second high school in the end, which is equivalent to the total score only ranking within the range of the top 1800-3000 in the city, and there are too many people who can crush him......

Lin Miao didn't speak, sat on the bus, quietly recalling the bits and pieces of the past.

"Who would have thought that Lao Tzu would be so strong now?" Lin Miao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, she was looking forward to today's game and full of confidence, and there was a little nervousness.

There is still the possibility of failing the test, but Lin Miao is now trying not to let himself think in the worst direction.

The exam starts in an hour, and he has to keep his mind at peace.

It's like taking a difficult but ordinary exam, and the key is to be able to perform at your highest level without any reservations. As for not being able to participate in the language competition and English competition in the afternoon of the past two days, it is no longer necessary to wash away the shame of not being able to even rush out of Oucheng District to Dongou City in the previous life, and to redeem the regret of the previous life.

- After all, the language thing, sometimes it's really too special metaphysics, he is a national primary school grand prize contestant, if he folds here, this face is really embarrassing. As for English, Lin Miao now has her own pride.

Municipal competitions, really disdain to participate.

Isn't that bullying a child!?

Lin Miao thought silently, took out the test paper she was carrying, and flipped through it casually. Don't look at the difficult questions, just look at the simplest basic questions, and keep the brain at an appropriately low level of excitement. The whole car didn't dare to disturb him, and all of them were quiet.

In his previous life, he was the hope of the whole village of the 18th Middle School, and now he is the hope of the whole village of the Outer Chinese Junior High School.

But at that time, he had no one behind him, and now, behind him, stands the top educational resources in the entire Dongou City.

It's not just that the subjects I participate in are different, it's different, it's the whole life......

The car drove all the way and stopped for 40 minutes before stopping at the intersection of Oucheng District, Oujiang District and Ougang District - Dongou District 3. The No. 68 Middle School in Dongou City, located here, is the main examination room for this competition.

The bus stopped diagonally opposite No. 68 Middle School.

Almost at the same time, behind Lin Miao and their car, the bus of Dongou Experimental Middle School also stopped the car.

The two schools were mighty, and each walked down a team of more than 30 people.

The uniforms of foreign Chinese junior high schools and experimental middle schools were blown whirring in the hunting wind.

The leaders of the team nodded to each other with both hands, and greeted each other politely on the surface.

The students were also more than ten meters away, quietly observing each other.

On the one hand, there is a glorious and long tradition of brushing prestige in the competition of the city's discipline competition; on the other hand, there is a new upstart in the city's education circle, although so far, in addition to Lin Miao as a primary school student has won several national awards, and Zhang Xueru and Ye Yifan and Chen Yu in the second year of junior high school are representatives, eating the old book of the province's primary school students' Olympiad competitions, a certain school has not come up with any excellent results, but the city's legends about them have intensified.

Dongou Experimental Middle School, a junior high school graduate of Yishui.

In junior high school, Chinese junior high school in the group, plus an eight-year-old who skipped a grade, and at present, strictly speaking, he hasn't even finished the first year of junior high school......

The two sides looked at each other quietly after getting off the bus, and the smell of gunsmoke was already coming out before the game began.

Across the road, the team of Dongou No. 2 Middle School, which had just arrived, was also observing the foreign Chinese junior high school and the experimental middle school.

In addition to these two schools, Dongou No. 2 Middle School is the school with the largest team participating in the competition - a full 20 people, and Ounan Middle School, Jiangbei No. 2 Middle School, and Liucheng Middle School form the second echelon of the competition. If there is no accident, this competition will be the same as the previous six times, more than 80% of the first and second prizes are all from these six schools.

As for other schools that don't even have 10 places, or even only one or two places, those children are purely here to run with them and see the world. Not to mention winning the award, whether you can finish the question within two hours is still two words.

The subject competition questions, Lin Miao is easy to do, but not everyone feels the same.

The last two multiple-choice questions, the last two fill-in-the-blank questions, as well as the last question of the big question and the second question of the penultimate question, are all used to open up the score in the high school entrance examination. For children with a slightly worse level, it is normal to get 0 points on all these questions. If you want to win the prize, not only must you score points on these questions, but you must also ensure that all the other simple questions are correct.

"It's open!" suddenly someone shouted across the road.

The two groups of people from the Wai Chinese Junior High School and the Experimental Middle School tacitly withdrew their gazes from each other, separated by a distance, divided into two groups one after the other, and walked across the street without slowness and without slowness.

Ye Yifan walked quickly to Lin Miao's side and whispered, "Master Miao, that school, the person who came is not good." ”

Lin Miao smiled: "Xiao Yezi, you are wrong, we are the ones who come, and we are the ones who are not good." ”

Ye Yifan was very hurt by Lin Miao's sudden nickname.

Jiang Shengshan was about to speak, when a car with a license plate from the Dongou City Education Bureau suddenly drove up to Lin Miao and stopped in front of them.

Director Miyashoyoshi, who hadn't shown up for a long time, walked out of the passenger seat.

At the same time, two doors in the back of the car opened, and two old men came down.

A Lin Miao acquaintance is Qian Muen from the School of Teaching for Special Children of Jinghua University, who once came to him once last year after he participated in the Olympiad for primary school students in the city.

The other old man, but he had never seen it at all.

Gong Changji stepped forward with two people, Jiang Shengshan and the leading vice principal of the experimental middle school who followed Lin Miao, as well as the leaders of the schools who had not gone far all around, all hurriedly rushed over from all directions.

Gong Changji smiled and greeted these principals, then waved his hand, first introduced Qian Muen, and then pointed to another old man, and said amazingly: "This is Director Zhao Qianyuan, the leader of the Central Science and Technology Bureau, come over today...... Observe a child. ”

There was an uproar all around, and everyone turned their eyes on Lin Miao.

Lin Miao looked up in a little surprise and met Zhao Qianyuan's gaze. The two of them looked at each other, the old man was old, and he should be at least sixty or seventy years old when he looked at the wrinkles, but his eyes were unusually bright.

Zhao Qianyuan looked at Lin Miao, put his hands behind his back, did not have any problems with the children, and said with a smile: "Children, take out your highest level for me to see, if you do well in the exam, I will take you to school in the Central Science and Technology Bureau." ”

There was a gasp of cold air in all directions.

Lin Miao smiled slightly, and said arrogantly: "Come and compete, of course, you have to show the highest level." But I already have a teacher, and if I want to go, I have to go to the Social Science Bureau. Mathematics, physics and chemistry, you can get a full score in the high school entrance examination, which is enough for now, and there is no interest in further research. Grandpa, you better go back, I love the game, but I love Marxist-Leninist theory even more. As a pre-liberal arts student, I came here to experience the life of a pre-science student. It's just a test competition, and you can't see your talent. ”

Zhao Qianyuan was stunned when he heard this.

Lin Miao waved his hand behind him: "Let's go!

As he spoke, he directly bypassed Gong Changji and a few people.

A large group of children in the school followed behind Lin Miao and walked straight towards the gate of Sixty-Eight Middle School. Gong Changji and several people stood in place and watched, Zhao Qianyuan came back to his senses, laughed, and said to Qian Muen: "Teacher Qian, this kid is really interesting......
