Chapter Seventy-Three: Participating in the Competition
Chapter Seventy-Three
At the end of school on Friday afternoon this week, Mr. Liu, Zhouyang's homeroom teacher, called Zhou Yang to the office.
"Zhou Yang, the Olympiad is held on Sunday this week, you must remember to come to school on Sunday, the exam venue is held at Jianghai University in our Jianghai City, do you know the place of Ludao?" Teacher Liu asked.
Zhou Yang nodded and said, "I've been there, I know how to get there, but I don't know the way in the examination room, there are too many teaching buildings in the university, and I can't figure out which one is which." ”
"In that case, you can go to school at six o'clock on Sunday morning, the leading teacher of our school is Vice Principal Zhou, and then you and the other two classmates will follow Vice Principal Zhou, and Vice Principal Zhou will point out the examination room to you at that time." Teacher Liu said with a smile.
"Well, Mr. Liu, I'll come over on Sunday." Zhou Yang nodded.
Teacher Liu smiled and said, "Well, then it's nothing, remember to take the test well, strive for a good score in the exam, and go back." ”
……
On Sunday morning, Zhou Yang took a taxi to school early in the morning. At the school gate, two other students were already waiting in front of the school building.
A man and a woman stood there, not knowing what they were talking about.
"Hello, you also participate in the math Olympiad, right?" Zhou Yang walked over and asked with a smile.
"You are Zhou Yang, my name is Zheng Xin, I heard the head teacher talk about you, you can make such a big progress in one holiday, you are really good." Zheng Xin said with a smile on his face.
"Zhou Yang, how did you do it? Can you progress so fast in one vacation? The girl said curiously: "Oh, my name is Lin Wenjing, and I am in the same class as Zheng Xin." ”
"Hehe, it's not as exaggerated as you say, in fact, I've been studying hard before, but because I have other things that take too much of my energy, my academic performance has been countdown, but I've learned more than anything else in the summer, and I have time to study hard, so I will progress so fast!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"Learning something else? What's more important than going to school? Lin Wenjing said curiously.
"I've been interested in martial arts since I was a child, so I've been learning martial arts, and I'm finally a little beginner in the summer, so I shifted my energy to studying, after all, it's about to take the college entrance examination, and I can't even get into a university if I don't study hard." Afraid that Lin Wenjing would ask again, Zhou Yang hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "How are you preparing for the Olympiad?" ”
Zheng Xin said: "Lin Wenjing is sure of the problem, she often gets full marks in mathematics, but I'm much worse, it's good to be able to win the excellence award this time." ”
"Don't be modest." Lin Wenjing glanced at Zheng Xin and said: "Although I have not participated in the Olympiad competition, judging from the questions of the previous Olympiad competitions, there are very few topics that are related to the mathematics we have learned, and they are all some deviations. ”
"Lin Wenjing is right, we are also the top math students in the first middle school, don't be cowardly before fighting, maybe we can still win the top three!"
"Impossible! There are so many students in the Olympiad competition, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Although we are top-notch in the first middle school, among all the high schools in the city, we may be nothing, and it would be good to win the second prize. ”
The three of them were talking, and after a while, the vice principal of the school drove over.
"Hello Principal Zhou!" Seeing Vice President Zhou get out of the car, Zhou Yang and the three of them greeted each other with a smile.
"You three came early enough! How's it going, how are you preparing? Do you have the confidence to give us a first prize in the first middle school exam? Vice President Zhou asked with a smile.
Vice Principal Zhou's name is Zhou Boran, he is only forty-two years old this year, as the first vice principal of the school, it can be said that he is also a high authority in the school, and when the old principal retires, the position of the principal will basically fall into his hands.
Although he is in his forties, Zhou Boran is not old, he is very gentle, giving people a very decent feeling.
At the age of forty-two, in terms of officialdom, it is in the prime of life, as the vice principal of a middle school, his own level is the treatment of the deputy department level, and after two years of sitting on the throne of the principal, he will solve the treatment of the main department, and then work for two years, it is very likely that he will return to the education system of Jianghai City, and it can be said that the future is very bright.
"Principal Zhou, we were still talking about this matter just now, and we don't know if this year's exam questions are difficult, so we don't dare to guarantee how well we will take the exam, if we do badly, don't be angry." Zhou Yang said.
"Your name is Zhou Yang, hehe, to be honest, the difficulty of this exam question is different every year, so the leaders of the school and I didn't think about putting pressure on you, just strive to do well in the exam, if you can really get a first prize in the exam, the school will definitely reward you." Zhou Boran said proudly.
In fact, speaking of Zhou Boran, in addition to being a little greedy for power, his character is still good, and he usually takes good care of the teachers and students of the school, so the teachers and students of No. 1 Middle School still respect Zhou Boran, the vice principal, and also think that Vice Principal Zhou is very kind, which is also the reason why Zhou Yang said just now.
Jianghai University is about sixty or seventy miles away from Jianghai No. 1 Middle School, although I drove there, but when I walked to Jianghai University, it was still more than an hour, and it was almost eight o'clock when I walked to Jianghai University.
Zhou Boran, as the person in charge of the delegation of Jianghai No. 1 Middle School, reported to the person in charge of the Education Bureau, received the candidate's test number, and led Zhou Yang and the three of them towards the examination room.
The competition time of the Olympiad is 9 o'clock in the morning, and all the participating students from all high schools in Jianghai City gathered.
Jianghai City is a large city in the country, is a municipality directly under the central government, under the jurisdiction of 18 districts and counties, a total of about 80 students all in the same examination room, according to the exam number, Zhou Yang was divided into the fifth row of the third row, this position can be said to be the most garbage position, the invigilator can see the position as long as he looks up.
Zheng Xin and Lin Wenjing also sat on the far left of the second row and the far right of the fifth row respectively, so it can be said that this position arrangement completely eliminates the possibility of cheating by students from the same school.
When the exam was about to start, the director of the Jianghai City Education Bureau actually came to the examination room in person, and there was an old man who looked to be in his sixties.
The director of education and the old man walked to the podium, and the director of education said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are very fortunate to invite Professor Chen, a national special teacher, a coach of the National Olympiad and a professor of the Department of Mathematics of Jianghai City, to be present in person. ”
