The standard of the dinner is very high, not in the dishes and decoration, but in the people who attend the dinner.

Including President Xu Jian, there are five academicians standing here, and there are also bigwigs like the director of the Suzhou Provincial Department of Science and Technology.

Among these people, Lu Zhou also saw two acquaintances here, one is Secretary Liu, the leader of Jinling City, and the other is Mr. Ren Changming, the former chief designer of Huaguo's lunar exploration project and a professor at Yenching University.

It can be seen that the old gentleman still feels a little sorry for his original refusal of the invitation to study at Yan University, and took this opportunity to come to Jinda, and he pulled him for a long time before letting him go.

As for Secretary Liu, he didn't have much communication with Lu Zhou, but just said hello with a smile. After all, the two are not in the same circle, they have no common language, and their status and level are not the same. What's more, speaking of which, Lu Zhou also pushed away the olive branch he toss.

At mealtime, the students sat at three tables, the teacher sat at two tables, and the leader sat at one table.

The table where Lu Zhou was sitting was crowded with eleven people.

Originally, there were only ten chairs and ten pairs of chopsticks at this table, but the president of the student council brought another stool and sat cheekily next to the good-looking and talkative student of the Faculty of Letters. As a scumbag, he forcibly squeezed into the circle of this scholar.

I have to admit that this person has a really good vision and a set of social methods. Obviously there is no common topic, but I can quietly get closer to you, and at the same time avoid being overly enthusiastic and causing the other party to resent it.

Before the dishes were served, he calmly set up with everyone and exchanged WeChat accounts.

In the past, Lu Zhou had always felt that the student union was useless, but now he has slightly changed his previous prejudices. If the previous presidents of the student union of Kim University have this level of speaking, at least this place can exercise people's emotional intelligence.

It's not very useful, but it's still useful.

Lu Zhou's attention was not on the student council president, but on the senior of the academy next to him.

This senior is a senior this year, and it is said that he has been extrapolated to the Key Laboratory of Quantum Information of the Chinese Academy of Sciences for master's and doctoral studies, and has published two SCI papers in the direction of quantum informatics in condensed matter physics.

Since Lu Zhou planned to take another physics degree, he consulted him about his experience as a person who had come before.

"You're going to take another physics degree?"

Lu Zhou smiled and asked, "Yes, do you have any good advice from the seniors?" ”

Glancing at Lu Zhou in surprise, Zhang Shikun thought for a moment and said, "I don't know much about double degrees, and it's a minor at the undergraduate level?" But in terms of physics, I can give you a little advice. My own direction is condensed matter physics, and my main direction is quantum computing. If you are interested in this part, the most important thing is to read the books on quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, quantum many-body theory, MIT has a few open classes that are very interesting, I will send you on WeChat when I go back. ”

Lu Zhou: "Thank you very much!" ”

"You're welcome, we should help each other, maybe I'll have to trouble you to help in the future," Senior Zhang smiled and continued, "We study quantum informatics, and the requirements for mathematics are quite high, especially when studying the relationship between entanglement and topological phase transition, the entanglement itself is difficult to measure directly through experiments, and it is very uncomfortable if the mathematics is not passed." If you are interested in quantum informatics, there may be many opportunities for us to communicate in the future. ”

At this time, the boy sitting on the other side of Lu Zhou suddenly interjected into the topic and said with a smile: "The bigwigs are still exchanging academic issues, do you want to sing for a while?" ”

This is called Li Haoran, and his name is a bit similar to a certain great poet.

However, he is not a scholar of literature, but a chemical institute, researching polymer materials.

"I'm not going to do it, it's not perfect." Lu Zhou politely declined this invitation, and said in his heart that I still won't torture your ears.

Senior Zhang also shook his head: "I'm going to go to the laboratory in a while, you guys can play." ”

"Hey, the bigwigs are working so hard, I'm under a lot of pressure," Li Haoran shook his head and sighed, his eyes rolled, he stared at Lu Zhou again, and grinned, "Big guy, I read your paper, just a few Fourier infrared spectral data can build a mathematical model, how did you come up with it?" Teach me. ”

Lu Zhou couldn't help but laugh and said, "This ...... How can I say it clearly, in front of a few pieces of scratch paper, thinking about it, and thinking about it, I came up with it? ”

Li Haoran sighed faintly and said with emotion: "Hey, it's worthy of being a big guy, for me, mathematics is like metaphysics." ”

Lu Zhou smiled and didn't answer.

I really can't answer that.

The conscience of heaven and earth, that's how he really came up with it.

I didn't even open it.

……

After the Person of the Year award, Lu Zhou spent four days on the deserted campus.

Soon, the first TOEFL test in 15 years began as scheduled.

After taking the car to the test site and signing the confidentiality letter outside, Lu Zhou put his belongings in the locker and locked them, stepped into the examination room with ease, and started answering questions on time at half past eight.

The TOEFL test is divided into four modules, namely Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing.

After getting the paper, Lu Zhou quickly glanced at the question, and then began to answer the question.

More than 8,000 TOEFL vocabulary sounds scary, but that's exactly what it is. For him, who has been able to translate his papers into English and submit them on the websites of foreign journals, if he can get even this level of reading questions wrong, he should go back and wash and sleep.

Not to mention, he has been preparing for this exam for more than half a month.

After quickly answering the four reading questions, Lu Zhou put the pen aside and sat quietly in his seat and waited quietly for the listening to begin.

I was really bored waiting, so I observed the other candidates in the examination room.

The buddy sitting next to him was still biting the lid of his pen and meditating on the first reading question.

Little Lori, who was sitting a little farther away, looked like she was only twelve or thirteen years old, and was answering questions meticulously.

Now even studying abroad has started from the baby?

Lu Zhou smacked his tongue, secretly surprised.

I don't really understand what rich people think......

Twenty minutes to answer the question, one hour to hang up.

Finally, when it came to the listening session, Lu Zhou felt a little challenged.

But that's just the challenge.

The speed of speech in the on-site test and TPO listening was about the same, and Lu Zhou was sure that he had not heard a word wrong, and completed each question calmly.

After the listening session, there is a 10-minute break.

Lu Zhou got up and left the examination room, opened the locker and drank water, and then went to the bathroom to solve the physiological problem.

After returning to the exam room, it was time for the most difficult part of speaking.

There are six questions in total, and a total of 20 minutes of time.

After the audition, I saw the first question, and Lu Zhou was happy.

"What are the most important characteristics of a good leader? Isn't that what I'm talking about? ”

After clearing his throat, Lu Zhou straightened the microphone and began to answer questions.

“A-good-leader-is-supposed-to-have-a-vision.Effective-leaders-and-their-organizations-have-an-agenda……”

The diction is clear, the logic is rigorous, and there should be no big problem.

Speaking is about clarity rather than vocabulary.

Lu Zhou evaluated himself, the full score is not easy, 29 points is more than enough!

Less than a minute after speaking, the writing test begins.

This link, for Lu Zhou, may be the easiest part.

No matter how difficult it is, it is rare to write a paper of several thousand words?

After writing an article in a free way, Lu Zhou raised his hand to signal to the invigilator, and after the invigilator came to confirm, he left the scene in a dashing manner in the sight of a group of candidates.
