Finally, he stressed that according to the requirements of the school, from now until the college entrance examination, except for a few days of rest during the Spring Festival, there will be no holidays for the rest of the time, and everyone must go back to school to make up classes and review.

Nervous. Yes, there is no second more appropriate word to describe the students and teachers of the top class now. nervousness about learning; nervousness about exams; nervousness over rankings; Nervous ...... for the future college entrance examination In short, there was a strong smell of tension in the air at Octagon Town Middle School.

The leaders of the county education bureau to which Bajiao Town belongs also attach great importance to it. For them, there is no way to know how the education situation of the entire county will be after the catastrophe, and the college entrance examination is a real test, and they certainly don't want to be thrown away by other counties in this test. Therefore, the county education bureau set up a roving supervision team from various schools and experts from the education bureau to inspect the state of education in the county and township middle schools. What's more special is that every time they go to a middle school, they will carry multiple sets of mock test questions of mathematics, physics and chemistry, and they may call the top classes of the selected schools to conduct mock exams at any time.

Such random inspections are most beneficial for students like Tang Boqiang. Because Tang Boqiang has a good habit of doing things, that is, before deciding to do something, take the time to think about what should be done in order to do it well. Before devoting himself to his studies, he had already thought hard about his strengths and weaknesses and how he could overcome them with his strengths. From primary school to middle school, Tang Boqiang understands a truth: no matter which discipline is studied, the mastery of the basic knowledge of this discipline is the most important, and any so-called problem is inseparable from the basic principles in the end. Because of this, Tang Boqiang attaches great importance to the study and exercise of basic skills, he is not in a hurry, he is not in a hurry to become the first, what he wants is to work steadily, step by step, he has done it, and the reality has also given him satisfactory returns, so that his grades have been in the forefront of the class. The results of some of the top students in the class fluctuate greatly, and some of the top students are satisfied with finding various mock test questions to practice and drill the horns of difficult problems, Tang Boqiang has no ability to find such test questions, and he does not like to do so.

One morning in September 1977, before the first class was finished, Mr. Yi Mucai waited outside the classroom, and as soon as the bell rang for the end of class, Mr. Yi quickly walked up to the podium to announce the notice of the school's academic affairs office, and the county education bureau tour supervision team had arrived at the school, starting from 9 o'clock to conduct continuous mock tests of mathematics, physics and chemistry, one hour for each subject, please prepare for all students.

Starting from 9 o'clock in the morning, for three consecutive hours, except for a ten-minute break after each subject, the tests of the three subjects were carried out very tightly, and the exams were conducted in the classroom of the top class, and the whole process was invigilated by the teachers of the county education bureau's roving supervision team.

More than three hours passed, and the test ended. According to the plan, the students went home for dinner, and in the afternoon they returned to school to listen to the teachers analyze the examination questions of each subject, while the teachers of the school and the teachers of the itinerant supervision team hastily finished their light meals at the school and began to work intensively to correct the examination papers before the students returned to school in the afternoon.

From the leaders of the school to the classroom teachers to the class teachers to the students who took the exam, they were very nervous and apprehensive. As the top class representing the highest level of Bajiao Town Middle School, what will their results be in this routine spot check test? In particular, the teachers of various specialties are even more nervous, they are very concerned about the results of the subjects they teach, because this not only represents the face of the school, but also represents their own face!

Comparatively speaking, students are much more relaxed. Because after the test and the answers, they basically know it in their own hearts. On the way home, Tang Boqiang's mind couldn't stop thinking, after the three subject exams, he found that each subject has a difficult question, accounting for a high proportion of points, if you can't answer this question, even if you answer all the other answers correctly, you can only get 70 points. In the three subjects of mathematics, physics and chemistry, only the problem of physics Tang Boqiang did not completely answer, the other two subjects have been answered, in Tang Boqiang's heart, the problem of mathematics is the most certain, he clearly remembers that this is a problem presented in the form of geometry, at the beginning Tang Boqiang used all the geometric methods he has learned to solve the problem, and finally ended in failure, Tang Boqiang, who has always been thinking jumping, suddenly thought: the teacher can not come up with those questions of knowledge that we have not learned to embarrass us, Since you can't solve it with the methods of geometry that you have learned, why not try the methods of algebra? The change of thinking brings about the peak and loop turn, Tang Boqiang uses a very simple algebraic method, a few steps to do this problem well, of course, the answer is right or not, it depends on the teacher's comments in the afternoon, as for the problem of chemistry, although Tang Boqiang answered it completely, but did not grasp it in his heart, because the process of operation is too long, in Tang Boqiang's opinion, chemistry focuses on not verbose operations, but the understanding of various theorem methods.

In the afternoon, the comments of the teachers of various subjects were wonderful and full of surprises, which opened Tang Boqiang's eyes and made Tang Boqiang out of the limelight.

First of all, Mr. Qin Xiangqiu commented on the math questions. For Tang Boqiang, what he is most concerned about is whether the difficult question that he thinks he is most sure of is answered correctly.

Because the other questions are not difficult, and there are many students who answer correctly, Mr. Qin naturally focuses on the analysis and explanation of the difficult problems, and the problems that Mr. Qin thinks are exactly the problems that Tang Boqiang thinks, which makes Tang Boqiang even more full of expectations.

Teacher Qin first wrote the topic on the blackboard, turned around, and slowly scanned every corner of the classroom with her eyes, and it could be seen that she was not satisfied with her disciples.

"Only one of the more than 50 people in the class answered this question correctly." Teacher Qin said a little disappointed. "Yes, I don't deny that this problem is very well and cleverly presented in a way that is supposed to be an algebraic problem, and unfortunately you are almost all deceived, because if you solve the problem in the same way as geometry, you will never be able to solve it. I also participated in the revision of the paper, and after reading your answers, it is a pity that you have been led astray in this way. However, we didn't wipe it all out, and there was a seeded contestant who solved the question very beautifully, and according to the teachers at the Education Bureau, no student in any other school answered this question correctly, which can be regarded as a comfort to me. In the end, Mr. Qin seemed to be talking to himself. Of course, according to Mr. Qin's usual style, she just calculated this problem once, and finally did not say who the seed player was, she never liked to praise people, and never praised a person alone.
