Chapter 696: Trade-offs and Initiative
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is the middle of September.
In the meantime, a lot has happened.
For example, the old man went to Xiangshui, the transfer of the Xiangshui County Distillery was signed, Yang Guiping temporarily presided over the work of Chengguan Town, and the media began to report on the reform of state-owned enterprises in Xiangshui County.
However, these were all things that Wu Xiaozheng expected, and he didn't pay much attention to them.
What bothers him a little now is the school.
Wu Xiaozheng found that his biggest mistake was to participate in the Olympiad team.
He found that after doing a large number of basic Olympiad papers, mathematics teacher Yan Zhanpeng was ready to give him more weight: "Wu Xiaozheng, I found that your mathematical logical thinking level is first-class, but the foundation of mathematical professional knowledge is too poor, and your vision is not broad enough. ”
Probably because Wu Xiaozheng's entrance test score was too good, Yan Zhanpeng expected him a little too much in terms of competition. But now he found that Wu Xiaozheng's knowledge reserve in the competition was too poor, so he was a little disappointed in his tone.
Fortunately, because he felt that Wu Xiaozheng's logical thinking ability was indeed very strong, Yan Zhanpeng did not give up his idea for the time being, but brought him a stack of books and magazines.
Wu Xiaozheng's head was big at first sight, what "Mathematics Review", "Mathematics for Middle School Students", "Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematics", "Mathematical Theory and Application"......
All but a few are specialized journals in mathematics.
He picked up a few books and flipped through them, and found that most of the content on them was simply incomprehensible.
Yan Zhanpeng said: "Your current task, in addition to doing a lot of problems, is to spend time reading these books and magazines clearly, master enough mathematical knowledge points, and broaden your thinking about problem solving......
Wu Xiaozheng: "......"
I didn't plan to become a mathematician, so why do I have so much expertise in mathematics? Most of this content will not be used in the future!
According to his own plan, he didn't even have the idea of becoming a mathematician, even a computer professional programmer, so he could waste time looking at these professional knowledge that he would not use in the future?
Wu Xiaozheng has already had the idea of retreating.
People are self-aware and know how to make trade-offs.
With his ability, An An learned the knowledge in the textbook and took the college entrance examination step by step, which is the right way.
As for getting a good ranking through a math competition, don't think about it!
But he also knew that he couldn't say too much at once, that would hurt the teacher's heart.
"Teacher Yan, I can try, but what I need to tell you is that my future interest is not in mathematics, so I suggest that you don't expect too much from me, and focus more on other students who have the potential to get good results in competitions. ”
Yan Zhanpeng: "......"
Is he holding back?
"Wu Xiaozheng, you really have a strong talent in mathematical logical thinking, if you work a little harder, you can have a good development in this area!"
The reason why Yan Zhanpeng refused to give up was because he found that although Wu Xiaozheng had a very poor foundation in mathematics, he made very rapid progress, and he could understand many knowledge points at a time, and he was indeed a very talented student in mathematics.
Wu Xiaozheng smiled and simply stopped talking.
He knew that arguing with Teacher Yan at this time would only make him feel that he hated iron but not steel.
He already has an idea of how to deal with this matter, that is, to delay, and then slowly disappoint the teacher through grades.
There was one more thing that gave him a headache.
That is, at the end of this month, Changjun is about to hold a school sports meeting.
This is the tradition of every key middle school in this era.
Basically, every September and October every year is the time for the school sports meeting of major and middle schools.
The reason why it is arranged at this time is because after the school sports meeting, the school will also organize a representative team to participate in the county and district sports meeting held in November, and then the municipal middle school student sports meeting......
In the spring and summer of next year, it will be the Provincial Middle School Student Games, and then during the summer vacation, it will be the National Middle School Games.
This is a talent selection mechanism for secondary school sports.
This is also the reason why every key middle school has students with sports talents.
The school needs these sports students to win glory for the school, and these sports students who are outstanding in sports and have a certain foundation in cultural courses can also be admitted to a good university with the identity of sports students in the college entrance examination, and they can also win glory for the school.
Changjun also has sports specialties, including track and field, basketball (female), table tennis, aerobics, martial arts, gymnastics, badminton, etc., which are the traditional sports strengths of Changjun.
And this school sports meeting is compared to track and field events.
What Wu Xiaozheng has to think about now is whether to sign up for the sports meeting and fight with those sports students?
He had this idea.
In his previous life, Wu Xiaozheng had never participated in the school sports meeting, and even if he did, he appeared as a cheerleader in junior high school.
He felt that in the student stage, if he wanted to have no regrets, he had to participate in various activities.
This is also a life experience, and it can also help him integrate into the class more quickly.
This is the experience he gained from the last basketball game.
Therefore, at the class mobilization meeting, he raised his hand very rarely to sign up: "I will apply for the two events of 1500 meters and 3000 meters." ”
Xiao Mei'e, who was doing mobilization work on the podium, was overjoyed.
You must know that for the experimental class, the biggest headache is that there are no sports students, so every time the school sports meeting, many items are difficult to fill, and even if they do, most of them go to soy sauce.
Especially for a particularly hard project like 3000 meters, the experimental class often can't even find soy sauce.
Now that Wu Xiaozheng is reporting two projects that no one wants to choose, how can she not be happy?
It's all about engagement!
Xiao Mei'e didn't have much hope for the results of the competition, but she still asked: "Wu Xiaozheng, are you sure to get good results?"
Wu Xiaozheng is not sure about this.
The only thing he can be sure of is that when he was in Xiangshui at that time, he didn't have any trouble with the long-distance running team of the sports school when he ran laps, and the coach of the sports school wanted to pull him into the sports school many times.
But he didn't know that the level of sports students in the famous schools in the provincial capital had reached that level.
"Try to finish in the top three of a project!" he said a little conservatively.
This expectation has far exceeded Xiao Mei'e's expectations.
She only hopes that Wu Xiaozheng is not too self-conscious.
"It's good, but it doesn't matter if you don't get good grades, it's about participating. ”
Wu Xiaozheng smiled.
He agreed with Xiao Mei'e's statement.
He is now becoming more aware of the importance of participation.
For him, since he has chosen to live on campus again, he has to take the initiative to participate, and if he still treats everything on campus with the mature mentality of a forty-year-old, it is a waste of time.
He began to look forward to the school sports day.
