Chapter XXXVIII Play-offs

"How is that possible!" Wen Xu muttered and moved his lips, unable to believe that he hadn't grabbed this question at such a fast speed.

Gu Anyue's face was not very good, as pale as a blank piece of paper, without the slightest blood, and he obviously took the result of the game very seriously.

"Hey!" Wen Xu sighed, turned his head to Gu Anyue and comforted, "Although they grabbed this question, they may not be able to answer it correctly." ”

Wen Xu was right, Xu Baichuan and the others grabbed this question, but they may not be able to answer it correctly. As long as Xu Baichuan answers incorrectly, their points will be reduced by ten points, losing their lead, and the two teams will return to the starting line. It's just that Xu Baichuan and Nie Xin will really make mistakes?

The last question is a medieval religious question, which is more difficult than the previous four questions, and it is not easy to choose the correct answer among the four answers without reading the relevant information beforehand.

"I hope they really can't answer." Gu Anyue prayed softly in her heart, closed her eyes slightly, and silently waited for the final result.

At this moment, everyone focused their eyes on Xu Baichuan and Nie Xin, and everyone wanted to know how Xu Baichuan would answer.

Facing everyone's eyes, Xu Baichuan did not have the slightest nervousness, shook his head at the question, and said lightly: "I don't know the correct answer to this question, or my companion Nie Xin will come back to this question." ”

Nie Xin shook his head when he looked at the question, and said unwillingly: "I don't know how to choose." ”

"Then let's give up on this question." Xu Baichuan glanced at Nie Xin and said lightly.

When the host and the audience heard Xu Baichuan and Nie Xin's words, they were so surprised that they couldn't speak, but Wen Xu frowned and thought deeply.

"You don't know the answer, you can guess appropriately, maybe you're lucky, you're right!" The moderator persuaded.

Xu Baichuan glanced at Wen Xu, shook his head and said, "Forget it!" Even if this question is correct, it is not a victory, and I will beat them in the play-offs. ”

"Xu Baichuan is really arrogant!" Gu Anyue said with a frown.

A strange arc flashed at the corner of Wen Xu's mouth, and he whispered to Gu Anyue: "Do you think Xu Baichuan gave up this question really just because he was crazy?" ”

"Is there a secret?" Gu Anyue asked Wen Xu.

Wen Xu touched his nose, narrowed his eyes and explained to Gu Anyue: "Let me ask you first, if you are asked to answer this question, how sure are you that you can choose the correct answer?" ”

Gu Anyue shook her head and said, "This question is very difficult, and I am not sure at all." ”

"That's right. You are not sure, Xu Baichuan and they are not sure. Wen Xu said.

"That's guessing! In any case, there is still a 25% chance of getting this question right, and if they don't get it right, they won't lose. I can't understand why Xu Baichuan and the others just gave up. Gu Anyue said to Wen Xu with her eyes open.

"That's where their genius comes in." Wen Xu explained, "If they don't answer the questions, it will inevitably attract us to think about the reasons for this, and we can't focus on the game." When the time comes, as long as we are a little careless, Xu Baichuan will throw a killer weapon and defeat us in the play-offs. ”

Hearing Wen Xu say this, Gu Anyue seemed to understand Xu Baichuan's intentions. Rushing to answer questions is no better than other questions, as long as you are a little careless when rushing to answer, you will lose the qualification to rush to answer, Xu Baichuan distracts himself, of course it is good for him.

"In addition, I think Xu Baichuan wants to convince us, which is also a purpose for them to give up answering questions." Wen Xu paused, and then said, "Of course, this is just my speculation, and the real reason is probably only known to them." Since they gave us a chance, let's not waste this opportunity to turn defeat into victory. ”

Gu Anyue nodded lightly, expressing her approval of Wen Xu.

Due to the tie between Xu Baichuan and Wen Xu's group, the game had to enter the play-offs.

The host asked the leaders who participated in the competition, and returned to the stage with a note: "I have a note in my hand, and this is the title of the play-offs." Let me first explain that this is not a rush to answer the question, you will all have the opportunity to answer, but the order of answering the question will be determined by listening to the rush answer. Whoever grabs it first can choose the order of answering. Now please prepare, I say 'start answering' and you can rush to answer. ”

"Let's start answering!" The host gave an order, and saw that the two rush lights were almost lit up, but the host finally judged that Xu Baichuan was faster.

"Xu Baichuan, now it's up to you to decide the order of answers." The host said to Xu Baichuan.

The people present thought that Xu Baichuan would let Wen Xu answer first, but they didn't expect Xu Baichuan to say, "I'll come first!" ”

“OK！” The host showed the note written in the title in front of everyone, only to see that it was written in English: What do you think about Chinese learning English?

This is undoubtedly an open question, there is no absolutely accurate answer, and the final scoring results are only in the hands of the following leaders.

Xu Baichuan pondered his own opinion and expressed his opinion to the audience: "First of all, I want to say that it is necessary for Chinese to learn English. ”

Xu Baichuan clarified his point of view, and several leaders in the audience nodded in unison.

Then, Xu Baichuan began to expound his opinion.

"More than 90 per cent of the world's modern scientific and technical literature is written in English. In fact, English can be called a 'golden key' to open the treasure house of modern scientific and technological materials in the world. For a Chinese, mastering English as soon as possible means that he can receive the best education in the world as soon as possible. Because, once you master the English language, you will be able to learn and develop with the best books and other educational resources published in various countries around the world. Looking at the leaders below nodding, Xu Baichuan knew that his views had been recognized by them, "In addition to this reason, applying what you have learned is also a reason." Studying abroad, studying for certifications, and communicating with foreigners, we all have to use English. What's more, learning English can also lead to the great development of related education, training, publishing and other institutions, bringing a market of hundreds of billions, expanding 'domestic demand', and promoting the employment of a large number of people. Therefore, I think it is still necessary for Chinese to learn English. As for the 'uselessness of English', I think it's just an excuse for some people who don't work hard to learn English. That's all I have to say, thank you! ”

It is definitely not an easy task to say these clear words in such a short period of time, and the leaders present all recognized Xu Baichuan's speech. The last pressure couldn't help but fall on Wen Xu.

The leaders had already accepted Xu Baichuan's ideas in a preconceived notion, and if Wen Xu talked about it according to Xu Baichuan's ideas, it would be difficult to shine, so Wen Xu decided to take the risk and find another way.

Wen Xu cleared his throat, looked at the audience below, and said slowly: "Just now, Xu Baichuan explained the importance of learning English, but I think that although there are some benefits to learning English, the benefits of learning English for all people outweigh the disadvantages. First of all, learning English costs people and money. English and Chinese are two different language families, and they are quite difficult to learn. However, due to the pursuit of the government and society, English has been coaxed to a very high position, and the most important things in life such as employment and further education are all related to personal English proficiency, so it has created an atmosphere in which everyone learns English, and no one pays attention to professional courses. If this goes on like this for a long time, there will be a large number of college students who only know a little bit of English that they can't use in their lifetime, and forget about it after the exam, and their professional courses are very sparse, and they don't know whether it's worth it or not! ”

Wen Xu glanced at the disapproving leader and continued: "Just now, Xu Baichuan said that English can stimulate 'domestic demand' and promote economic development. But I want to say, isn't it good to put all this manpower, money elsewhere? In addition to the people who are engaged in English training in the private sector, the state also spends a lot of money every year to teach English to children across the country, in fact, students need to learn a lot of knowledge, which is far from the point where 'there is no money and no place to use'. The people's money can be regarded as given to the state, but what is the result of such a concerted effort by the whole country? It is to cultivate a large number of farmers who know a few English words, netizens who can only say 'love tiger oil', and unemployed vagrants who can only understand bye-bye! Of course, not all of them are so badly learned, but almost all of the students who learn well are technical idiots who don't know what the profession is, in my evaluation, 'I know what foreigners mean, but I can't express it well in Chinese', these people who are better at English than Chinese are probably useless in the country and at home, right? Spend money to cultivate the above series of talents...... Do you think it's a loss of money? ”

As soon as Wen Xu's words fell, an audience member in the audience couldn't help but applaud. Then, the others also applauded, and wave after wave of applause suddenly filled the entire arena.

Some of the leaders in the audience couldn't hang up, and a leader next to Liu Chang pulled his face and asked him, "This is the student of your school?" ”

Liu Chang wiped the sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly bowed to the leader: "Director Zhao, this is our teaching without a way, teaching without a way. When I go back, I will definitely ...... I will definitely deal with this matter seriously and give you an explanation. ”

Hearing Liu Chang's words, Director Zhao's face was a little better, and he snorted coldly at Liu Chang: "Such unruly students, it is necessary to deal with them, but pay attention to the impact, and you can't expand this bad influence." ”

"Yes, yes, yes......" Liu Chang hurriedly agreed, looking at Wen Xu, a vicious look flashed in his eyes.

"Hey, the current student ......" Director Zhao shook his head helplessly and sighed bitterly.
