18. Embarrassing mock exams
It's only been a month since the beginning of the school year, and the overture to the entrance examination is in full swing. The principal imitated the "** Return Day Countdown Clock" on Tiananmen Square, and made an event calendar board at the staircase on the first floor of the teaching building, with a few eye-catching big characters written on it: There are ××× days left before the entrance examination for elementary school promotion.
As soon as the Chinese teacher came to the podium, the first thing he said was: There are still 3 months and 10 days left.
The math teacher came to the stage and opened his mouth as well: there are 94 days, 16 hours and 35 minutes left.
The English teacher walked into the classroom and immediately asked in English: What day is June 28th?
Once, Shang Hai couldn't hold it back, and muttered in a whisper following the English teacher's words: The day of the verdict.
Unexpectedly, the English teacher was young and very good at hearing, and he heard this almost grumbling sentence accurately. Her high-heeled leather shoes clicked all the way, and she stood in front of Shang Hai with a blank face and asked him, "What did you just say?" ”
Shang Hai had always been known for his timidity in the class, and his lips turned white with fright, and he stood up and stammered, "No...... Didn't say ......."
The English teacher turned her gaze to Jin Ling: "You answer for him, what did he just say?" ”
Jin Ling slowly stood up. She was really embarrassed at this moment: don't say it, it's suspected of lying, and the teacher has already heard it; Let's say, I feel that if I betray my friends, I will be regarded as a traitor by my classmates. She coughed and deliberately wrinkled her eyebrows into a lump of pain: "Just now...... Just now...... A little bug flew into my ear. ”
The English teacher turned white with anger: "Okay, you have all learned to cover each other!" I'll go to your homeroom teacher. ”
She didn't go to class anymore, so she turned around and left. Yu Fat'er left her seat, caught up with two steps, leaned out of the classroom door to take a look, and reported to Shang Hai with a wink: "I really went to the office." ”
As soon as Shang Hai sat down, he stood up again when he heard this, covered his crotch with both hands, and said with a sad face: "I want to go to the toilet!" I can't help it! He rushed out the door in a panic.
The class burst into laughter. Jin Ling pursed her lips disdainfully and said, "It's a shame, I'm scared to pee." ”
As a result, Mr. Xing called Shang Hai's mother with a phone call, and the teacher and parents teamed up to criticize Shang Hai for a bloody sprinkler, and forced him to apologize to the English teacher immediately, and a small turmoil subsided.
Later, when the teacher went to the podium and said the phrase "There are ××× days left", the whole class sat up straight at the same time, with their hands behind their backs, their faces tense, and their eyes looked straight at each other, making the appearance of waiting for the verdict to be announced. All the teachers didn't know that this was a secret code they had discussed privately, and they thought that they were sitting up straight because everyone valued the exam.
There is a small test in three days, a big test in five days, and a large number of test papers are sent to everyone to take home to complete, and the teachers in the school's printing room are busy, rubbing their red eyes and looking for the principal to resign. The principal came up with another idea, asking the class teachers to mobilize the parents of the students to help, and if there is a photocopier in the unit, they should do what they can to help the class copy the test papers, once a month, or once a week. There are more than 50 people in each class and more than 100 parents, which should be more than enough.
When Teacher Xing counted the parents who could help copy the test papers in the class, Jin Ling raised her hand not to be outdone. When she returned home and told her parents, Huizi first expressed her attitude: "Don't look for me about this, we have a small unit and no photocopier." ”
Jin Yiming said: "We have it in our department, but we have to pay for copying materials, and the preferential price for teachers and students in our department is 3 cents per sheet. ”
Jin Ling hurriedly said: "How cheap is 3 cents!" Outside copying takes 5 cents. ”
Jin Yiming said to Hui Zi's stall hand: "What's going on? I have to make the copies of the papers of the whole class alone, where is it? ”
"Then do you want me to be admitted to a good school?" Jin Ling immediately asked.
Jin Yiming had nothing to say, thought about it, and muttered: "There are more than 50 people in the class, and it will cost me a day's salary to copy the test paper once." He shook his head, expressing incomprehension of the school's approach.
At the end of March, a mock entrance exam was held for sixth-year graduates. It's math. According to the regulations of the official examination, only one student is seated at each table, there are invigilators in the front and back of the classroom, mobile invigilators outside the window to patrol back and forth, and a special person is assigned to accompany them to the toilet. The student number is also written on the examination paper, which is sealed on the spot after the examination, and finally the school academic affairs office specially organizes teachers to mark the papers in a centralized manner, so as to avoid cheating by the teachers of each class.
The day before the exam, Mr. Zhang, a math teacher, stood on the podium and looked at everyone solemnly and said, "Listen to me!" Success, not failure! The mock test basically reflects the difficulty of the official exam, so what score you get tomorrow will be about the same score when it comes to the entrance exam. I have been teaching the graduating class for several years, and I have a good idea in my heart. Hu Mei! Liu Yaru! Ni Zhiwei! ”
The three people who were named didn't know what was going on, so they quickly stood up and looked at each other.
Teacher Zhang said: "The three of you must ensure 98 points and strive for 100 points." The hope of our class to impact foreign Chinese language schools lies in you. ”
The three of them sat down with a sigh of relief, and their faces couldn't help but be a little proud. Ni Zhiwei looked left and right, looking like his eyebrows were dancing.
Jin Ling was not convinced, and thought to himself: What if they missed? What if I could go above and beyond? How can a teacher see people to death? It's clearly looking down on people!
Just as she was thinking wildly, suddenly Shang Hai stabbed her arm, and it turned out that Teacher Zhang called her name.
Teacher Zhang looked at her angrily: "Thoughts are deserting again!" Are you still absent-minded by this time? What exactly do you want to score? ”
Jin Ling blurted out: "100! ”
There was a burst of laughter from below.
Jin Ling's face flushed, and he shouted angrily: "What a laugh! ”
Teacher Zhang's face showed a smile, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, ambitious!" But make sure you don't be careless. Carelessness is your worst enemy, and if you kill it, you will win. Do you know? ”
Jin Ling said, "Yes." ”
Teacher Zhang waved his hand: "Sit down." ”
Then Mr. Zhang called Shang Hai, Yu Fat'er, Yang Xiaoli, and Li Xiaojuan respectively, pointed out everyone's Achilles' heel, and told them not to take it lightly.
An ordinary math class was made by Mr. Zhang like an emergency mobilization before the war.
Jin Ling was very excited, and after taking off her clothes and going to bed at night, she couldn't sleep for a long time, her eyes were wide open and she looked at the roof, and after a while, she suddenly burst out laughing.
Huizi was surprised when she heard Jin Ling smirking outside, thinking that her daughter was overly nervous and had a magic disorder. She dropped what she was holding and pushed open the door of Jin Ling's room.
Jin Ling was still laughing, his eyes were bent into moon buds, his mouth was open into flower bones, and his laughter was as cheerful as the spring water flowing down from a mountain stream.
Hui Zi tiptoed over in horror and gently patted Jin Ling's face: "Jin Ling, Jin Ling!" What's wrong with you? ”
Jin Ling opened her mouth and looked at her mother: "I'm laughing!" I'm so happy! ”
Hui Zi muttered to herself worriedly, "What's the matter? Tomorrow is a mock exam, so you should be so nervous that you can't eat, what's so ridiculous? Is it really a demon? ”
Jin Ling said: "I'm thinking about the scene of the day after tomorrow to mark the papers. ”
"The day after tomorrow?"
"Every exam is graded every other day. The teacher walked up to the podium and said that he was very happy and smiled, because the highest score in other classes was 98, and only one student in our class took the 100 test. ”
Hui Zi said, "What does this have to do with you? What are you laughing at? ”
"Listen to me! The teacher put the paper on the podium and said, let's guess who scored 100 points. Everyone guessed randomly: Hu Mei, Liu Yaru, Ni Zhiwei...... The teacher shook his head and said, 'No, it's not the good students in our class. When you hear it, it's amazing! Hurry up and guess from the back to the front, starting with the worst: Li Lin, Wang Xiaoshan, Gu Youwei...... The teacher shook his head again, "Not yet. Everyone is anxious, who is it? The whole class looks at me, I look at you, it looks funny. In the end, the teacher smiled and said a name, Mom, guess who it is? ”
Hui Zi asked blankly, "Who is it?" ”
Jin Ling sat up from the quilt with a bone: "IQ is really low!" I've been prompting for a long time, and you still can't guess? That's me! Jin Ling! ”
Hui Zi couldn't laugh or cry. The child lay on the bed alone and laughed for a long time, thinking of such a beautiful thing!
Hui Zi pressed Jin Ling's shoulder, put her back to sleep, stuffed the quilt for her, and said, "It looks like you still yearn for a good score." ”
Jin Ling protested: "Mom, what do you mean? Don't I want to be a good child? ”
"But you always look so careless and lost, either miscalculated or written wrongly, like a good child?"
Jin Ling shrank her head in the quilt and didn't speak for a long time. Later, she sighed softly and said: "I really hate myself, I want to score 100 points every time, I want to surpass Hu Mei and Liu Yaru every time, and be the first in the class, why can't I do it?" Why is it so difficult for people to realize their desires? ”
Hui Zi sighed, really not knowing how to answer her daughter's question in simple terms. Huizi thought that when Jin Ling grew up, after she had too many dreams and touched too many walls, she would know how deep a gap there was between ideals and reality! A person's whole life is to strive to cross this gap, but there are very few who can cross it!
The next day was a beautiful day, as if God deliberately wanted to give everyone a good mood. Because he was not allowed to bring books and notes to the exam, the schoolbag on Jin Ling's shoulder looked light, which was a bit of a leisure trip. Along the way, I met some first- and second-graders who were playing on the street, and the school sent them all home in order to free up the classroom for the sixth-grade mock exam. Isn't it required that each person sit at a table during the exam?
Jin Ling met Yang Xiaoli at the school gate. She shrunk her head, frowned, and muttered something in her mouth.
Jin Ling greeted her with a smile: "Hi! What mantra to reiterate? ”
Yang Xiaoli saw that it was Jin Ling, like a savior, she jumped up and grabbed Jin Ling's arm: "My God, tell me quickly, is the whole number a natural number?" I forgot, I forgot everything! ”
Jin Ling said: "Natural numbers are all integers, but integers are not all natural numbers, because integers contain '0', and '0' is not a natural number. ”
"If the scale is constant, what is the ratio between the actual distance and the distance on the map?"
"It's proportional! Didn't you just review it yesterday? ”
Yang Xiaoli grabbed Jin Ling's arm and almost cried: "I was still very ripe last night, but I forgot it all this morning, I really forgot it!" ”
"How so?" Jin Ling shrugged her shoulders and straightened the strap of her schoolbag that was about to be grabbed by Yang Xiaoli.
Yang Xiaoli stomped her feet hatefully: "It's all my mother's fault, she forced me to drink milk in the morning, and I vomited as soon as I was nauseous, and I vomited all the concept questions in my heart." ”
Jin Ling patted her hand like an adult and comforted her, "You are too nervous. Let's not think about the exam, let's talk about something else, shall we? ”
Yang Xiaoli just had time to nod, and there was a sound of clackling footsteps behind her. Yu Fat'er carried the two straps of the schoolbag on the same shoulder, dragged the two laces of the travel shoes, and caught up with them out of breath.
"Late? Yes? Late yet? He gasped, his face flushed crimson from running, and every pore was congested.
Jin Ling replied to him sharply: "Why is it late?" Don't you see us walking? If you're late, aren't we all late? ”
Yu Fat'er patted his chest: "I'm scared to death." My mom forgot to wind the alarm clock last night, and when I woke up, it was already 7 o'clock, so scared that I didn't eat breakfast and ran all the way over. He also said, "If I am late, Mr. Zhang will definitely kill me and cook meat to eat." ”
Jin Ling said, "You are so fat, the meat must be delicious." ”
Yu Fat'er hit back at her: "What about yourself? ”
Yang Xiaoli smiled at this time, there was no nervous look on her face, and her eyebrows and eyes became lively.
Ni Zhiwei was the last to enter the classroom. The other half of the class had already gone downstairs to the first-grade classroom. Ni Zhiwei sniffed as soon as he stepped into the classroom door: "What smell?" Whose feet stink so much? ”
Yu Fater hurriedly bent down and put his feet into the travel shoes.
Ni Zhiwei deliberately frowned: "Yu Fat'er, you have bad intentions, you want to pollute the air and make us poison and faint, you can get a high score by yourself, right?" ”
Yu Fat'er jumped up in a hurry, and swore a curse: "That's what the puppy thinks!" ”
Ni Zhiwei laughed badly: "Just kidding, what's the hurry?" ”
He walked over, and Ping Pong opened all the windows on both sides of the classroom, saying that he wanted to let in the air and keep his head clear.
After all, it was only the end of March, and as soon as the windows on both sides opened, the cold wind blew in, making the back of the head cold. Jin Ling wanted to protest, but thought that the cool breeze might really clear his mind, so he couldn't help but say nothing.
The electric bell of the class soon rang, sharp and poignant, and the coldness made people's hearts tremble. Jin Ling looked back at Yang Xiaoli, she was already pale again. Jin Ling stretched out her index and middle fingers, made a "V" gesture, and shook her vigorously. Yang Xiaoli saw it, and reluctantly nodded at Jin Ling, indicating that she understood the meaning of a good friend.
The main teacher is Director Yang of the Academic Affairs Office of the school. He is a middle-aged man with a very good complexion, he closes the corners of his mouth all the year round and does not smile, and his eyes occasionally glance at people, and the sharp ones are sharp, stabbing the muscles on people's faces. The students at Xinhua Street Primary School were all afraid of him.
He walked into the classroom and said a few words briefly: "Here we go." He started handing out exam papers. The exam paper is an authentic lead print paper, which makes the weight of this exam more and more heavy.
No one spoke in the classroom, not even coughing, only the sound of the test papers being handed out, and then the soft sound of the invigilator walking around.
Jin Ling remembered the matters explained by the teacher, first wrote her name and student number at the front of the paper, and then took a minute to go through the test questions.
There are a total of 10 fill-in-the-blank questions, each of which is worth 1 point; 5 true/false questions, 1 point each; 5 multiple-choice questions, 1 point each; 12 mouth calculation questions, 8 calculation questions, 2 text questions, 1 figure area calculation problem, a total of 40 points; 8 application questions, 40 marks. It is limited to 100 minutes.
Jin Ling blinked her eyes vigorously, she felt that her ** illness was about to happen again, and she was dizzy when she saw these complicated numbers, and her eyes were full of stars. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and told herself vigorously: Steady! Steady! Look carefully at the questions and try to get a perfect score! Fight for victory!
Start by filling in the blanks. Comparatively, fill-in-the-blank questions are always easier.
The first way: a number is made up of 2 10s and 5 0.01s, and this number is ( ).
Jin Ling first fill in a "20.005". Count the decimal points with the tip of the pen, and if you feel that it is wrong, erase it and refill it with a "20.05". Count again, right.
The true/false questions are very tricky, and if you don't have a clear mind, you will be entangled by it. Fortunately, the first one was asked by Yang Xiaoli on the road just now: because natural numbers are whole numbers, so whole numbers are natural numbers. True or False?
Jin Ling did not hesitate to put a cross. There is no doubt that this point has been obtained. Jin Ling thought to herself: Why am I so wise? I just memorized this article yesterday!
The multiple-choice questions are not very problematic, there are ready-made answers to choose from, and Meng can also get it right.
Oral arithmetic problems. This item is basically a question for giving points, and if you are wrong, you can only blame yourself for your life.
Calculation questions, the most important is the life of the golden bell. Most students get points on calculation questions, but this one is Jinling's nemesis, and it's impossible for her not to let these damn numbers go wrong. She was sweating with nervousness, her eyes almost fixed on the subject, staring at each number so hard that she wouldn't let them shake and dance in front of her eyes. She counted each step more than 3 times, using up a total of 5 large sheets of scratch paper.
You shouldn't be wrong. If she makes another mistake, she won't be called Jin Ling!
Vocabulary questions. The first few are relatively simple as usual, and from the sixth point onwards, the difficulty gradually increases. There is a question like this: the workload of the first group is two-thirds of that of the second group, the ratio of the number of people in the first group to the number of people in the second group is 5:7, after two days of work, the second team just completes the task, and the first team overcompletes the workload of two people for a day, how many people are in each of the two groups?
It's a matter of workload again, and it's a question of comparison, why is the teacher who came up with the question so ruthless?
Jin Ling used a ballpoint pen to write three big words on the desk: Unreasonable!
As soon as Jin Ling finished writing, the footsteps behind him sounded, and he peeked back, it was Director Yang, the invigilator! Jin Ling was so frightened that she hurriedly covered the test paper up, covering the three words that could not be seen.
As if he had seen something, Director Yang stopped behind Jin Ling for a while before leaving. Jin Ling lay half of her body on the test paper, not daring to move.
Finally waiting for the footsteps to pass, Jin Ling hurriedly looked for an eraser to erase a few words on the table. Lift the sleeves first, and you can't see the rubber pressed under your arms; I lifted the test paper again, but there was still no shadow of an eraser. Where did it go? Oh my God, the little thing rolled under someone's desk on its own.
Jin Ling burrowed her whole body under the desk and stretched out her arms to pick up the eraser. A small breeze suddenly blew from the north window, and the examination papers spread out on the table by the golden bell fluttered softly, like an Arabian magic carpet, gently shaking, swaying slowly, flying and swaying in the middle of the classroom.
The sharp-eyed Yu Fat'er first shouted: "Oops! Who's the exam papers! ”
Jin Ling then crawled out of the table and shouted, "Oops! My exam papers! ”
Li Linzheng couldn't do the application problem, sitting in the seat scratching his ears and scratching his cheeks, how could he let go of such a fun dramatic scene! He jumped up and grabbed the paper, but because he got up so violently, his ass arched over his desk, and his own exam paper fell softly, sliding far away against the ground. Li Lin sacrificed himself to save others, put his paper alone, and unrelentingly chased after Jinling's one.
Jin Ling thought that Li Lin wanted to take the opportunity to peek at her answer, but she was also anxious at this time, so she got up and left her seat to rush on. Unexpectedly, another wind blew in from the south window, and two air convections actually lifted the test paper to a higher place. Then the test paper flew out of the window with long eyes.
The classroom was in chaos, and all eyes were off their rolls, following the white "magic carpet" around, with exclamations, laughter, and urging the golden bell to "chase it!" Chase! Voice. A few of the always mischievous tricksters have even stood up, ready to rush to the aid of Jin Ling.
Director Yang, who was not smiling, could no longer keep calm at this time, and stepped onto the podium in a panic, shouting repeatedly: "Seal the volume!" Seal the volume! With his eyes and gestures, he instructed the other invigilator behind him to carry out the order. The two of them hurriedly grabbed the students' unfinished exam papers one by one and clenched them into a big ball in their hands.
Jin Ling's exam paper paused slightly on the south windowsill, and was carried west by the wind blowing at the end of the corridor. As it passed by the window of the next classroom, it poked its head and glanced in, only to be involuntarily sucked in by the wind from the window. It turned out that the windows of the second class classroom were also open that day.
This time, it was the turn of the second shift to be in chaos. Who can hold back the excitement and surprise in their hearts when they encounter such an interesting "alien object" in a boring and boring exam? So, after a commotion in the second class classroom, the invigilator had no choice but to seal the paper.
The four graduating classes were scattered in eight classrooms to mock exams, and the test papers in two classrooms were all invalid, which shows the huge flaws. The principal shouted in his office and asked, "What if this is an official exam?" Well? If there is a mess in a classroom, and all the exam papers in the whole district are useless, how can we explain to our superiors? How to explain to the parents of students? At that time, I was afraid that it was too late to cry! Enough jail is enough! ”
The principal's words made the teachers creepy. Teacher Xing and Teacher Zhang jointly called Jin Ling to the office to talk. Jin Ling innocently redressed: "Can you blame me?" It's the wind blowing! The only thing to blame is the person who opened the window. He muttered in a low voice, "I could have scored 100 points." ”
Teacher Xing and Teacher Zhang are not bad to think about, this matter is really not to blame Jin Ling. So they investigated who opened the window, and everyone pushed Ni Zhiwei out in unison.
Ni Zhiwei also looked innocent: "The teacher didn't announce that the exam was not allowed to open the window." Did you say that? Did anyone hear me? I'm kind enough to let everyone breathe in the air and clear their minds. ”
No one is wrong, it's all the spring breeze. Jin Ling remembered that there was such an ancient poem in the book she had read, as if it was something like "Qingfeng is illiterate, why do you flip through the book", and she couldn't help but burst out laughing in class.
The ancients were so smart, she thought with a smile. People have known hundreds of years ago that there will be such a comedic scene in the mock examination room for elementary school to junior high school.
