"Classmates, we are about to take the annual college entrance examination. This is a crucial exam that will determine your fate. Want to compete with the tall, rich and handsome? Then take your pen and paper. The entire future is waiting for you to create it."
"Attention, students! When entering the examination room, everyone must come to the front and check if they have a fever. If you do, please register immediately. There's a widespread epidemic called avian influenza, so everyone must be vigilant. Do not drink water offered to you by strangers. Also, do not share towels with close family members to prevent cross-infection. Do you understand?"
"knew!"
"Ahem! Do you want some water?"
"No, classmate Ji Nianqin, why did you catch a cold?"
"Yes, so, do I need to be quarantined?"
"Well... wait a moment, I'll go ask the school leader. Principal, Ji Nianqin has a cold. Can she enter the examination room?"
"They need to be isolated. If it turns out to be bird flu and spreads to other students, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Okay, I understand then, but my child is about to cry. Are you going to forbid her from taking the college entrance exam?"
"No, use a separate isolated room and let her answer the paper."
"Okay, okay, I'll get ready now."
"Wait, the doctor will conduct a physical examination first. If there is no problem, you can go to the normal classroom to answer questions."
"Okay, Principal, you're wise. Ji Nianqin, I have good news for you. It won't affect your college entrance exam, because your disease, hepatitis B, and tuberculosis are highly contagious..."
Ji Nianqin was dizzy and could no longer hear what the teacher in front of her was saying.
"Oh no! She really has bird flu. What should we do now, Principal? She's the only case in the school. Should we put her in a separate cubicle to answer questions? Or should we just tell her to go home and recuperate?"
"Logically speaking... forget it. Let her answer the questions in the isolation room, and have all the doctors and nurses keep up and report her condition at all times. After the college entrance examination, every exam room in the school will delay releasing students for one minute. We need to take Ji Nianqin to the relevant isolation vehicle."
"Principal, are you saying that if Ji Nianqin hands in her paper one minute early, she can gain some time advantage?"
"That's going to have to wait until she finishes answering the questions. Okay, Principal, I'll talk to the invigilator. But our school doesn't have a fully-transparent invigilation classroom, and the college entrance exam can't be completed in one day. I'm worried that after this exam, if we're transferred from school to the hospital, the isolation room there will already be equipped and under special supervision. Even if we can temporarily assign an invigilator here, I'm afraid the people in the ward..."
"What did the doctor say?"
"We've reported this to the relevant departments. Ji Nianqin is the city's first case. We've also been closely monitoring her close friends, teachers, and classmates, and haven't found any other students or teachers with avian influenza. The doctor's advice is to get her to the hospital as soon as possible to prevent Ji Nianqin from infecting others. We should do this now, while no one else is infected."
"Then listen to the doctor."
"Principal, what about this child's college entrance examination..."
