Chapter 96
On the first day back to school after the holiday, the head teacher brought everyone a big news: the city was going to hold a subject competition.
"The first-year junior high competitions include Chinese, physics, algebra, and geometry, which have been combined into a math competition. Each of you can sign up for up to two. First, there will be an internal selection process, and then the top five in each category will represent the school in the competition."
Ma Wenjie couldn't wait to raise his hand and ask, "Teacher! Isn't there an English competition?"
The head teacher shook his head: "There is no English competition at the moment."
Ma Wenjie lowered his head in disappointment. It would be great if there was an English competition. He was not very good at other subjects.
"Teacher! Teacher! Can everyone in the school sign up?"
"No, except for the training team, where all students can sign up, only the top 20 students from other classes can register. This is a city-wide competition, and it's a rare opportunity. I hope everyone can sign up for two subjects and experience the difficulty. When the competition is over, the teachers will bring the test papers back for everyone to analyze."
Originally, Su Miao was not very interested in the competition because she knew her own strength, so she didn't think it was necessary. But since the teacher said so and all the students had to sign up for two subjects, she didn't want to be treated specially, so she followed suit and signed up for physics and mathematics.
Why don’t you sign up for Chinese? There are too many words and my hands are sore from writing them.
Huang Jiaqi raised her hand and asked, "Teacher, aren't we about to have our midterm exams? Will this cause any conflicts?"
"Actually, there won't be any conflicts. We all need to review. The preliminaries are in a week, and the midterm exams are only half a month away. There's still a week in between. By then, the midterm scores and the preliminaries results will be released at the same time. Students who make the list can start preparing for the competition."
After class, several girls gathered together and asked each other what subjects they had signed up for. Except for Su Miao, the other three had a fixed subject, Chinese.
When they learned that Su Miao had signed up for two science subjects, they were a little surprised, because they had not taken a comprehensive exam since entering junior high school. Although they knew that Su Miao had good grades, they did not have a concrete understanding of his scores.
"Miao Miao, are you so confident in science?"
"Yeah, maybe taking the Chinese language course would give you a better chance of success? After all, the teacher circulated your essays as examples."
Su Miao thought for a moment and said, "It would be too boring if I only did what I'm best at. I want to challenge myself. This time it's a city-wide competition, and I really want to know where I stand in the city. Also, I'm really interested in science. There's a saying, 'Master math, physics, and chemistry, and you'll be fearless anywhere in the world!'"
"Then let's work hard together and strive to represent our school in the competition together!"
Ma Wenjie seemed to pass by unintentionally and heard the conversation between several people clearly. After returning to his seat, he filled in physics and mathematics on the registration form without any hesitation.
After Su Yuanzheng knew that his daughter was going to participate in the competition, he became nervous again and dragged his daughter to Xinhua Bookstore to see if there were any competition highlights or something.
However, there weren't many supplementary textbooks available, and he didn't find any suitable ones. Instead, Su Miao picked out several magazines and returned. Meeting her father's puzzled look, she smiled and said, "The teacher said that reading more extracurricular books can improve reading comprehension and writing skills."
So that's how it is. Su Yuanzheng thought that what the teacher said must be right, so he had to take a closer look.
The next day, he saw a magazine casually placed on his daughter's desk from the window. Thinking of what his daughter said last night, he reached out to pick it up and read it.
While flipping through the pages, I came across an author named Laoyou Mengmeng Chao Zhuzha. I thought to myself what a coincidence, isn’t that what I am cooking Laoyou Chao Zhuzha every day?
Then he became more and more absorbed in it, and almost cursed out loud when he read the last part. It was a pity that it was a serial, and the last two chapters were not in this book, but he looked at the date and it should have been published.
He thought of waiting for his daughter to come back and asking her if she had bought the last two books. If she had, he would borrow them to read.
But then I wondered, is this content really suitable for middle school students? Will it teach my daughter bad things? And then I was once again caught in a dilemma.
After Su Miao came back, her eyelids twitched when she heard that her father wanted to read "Echo", but she pretended nothing had happened and gave him the book. Then she used her eloquence and some twisted logic to dispel her father's worries about her reading the magazine.
A week passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was time for the preliminary exam. Since it was only an in-school preliminary, the control was not too strict. The teacher just had to take the test paper to the students at a unified time.
Since all members of the training team participated, they could answer questions directly in their own classes and positions. Students from other classes had to go to the large conference room to avoid interfering with students in their class who were not participating.
Wang Xin only signed up for physics, his best subject. When he went to the conference room, he went to the window of the training team classroom and made a face at Su Miao and others.
The test papers were distributed half an hour apart for each subject. Everyone took it very seriously. After all, if one could participate in the competition and get a good ranking, they could get a city-level certificate, which would be beneficial for their future studies.
Originally, Su Miao just treated it as a test and took it calmly, but after getting the test paper and reading the questions, he became excited. The angle of the questions was very different from the usual tests, deeper and more tricky, and quite interesting.
Su Miao then entered an immersive question-answering session. After her rebirth, the things she encountered were too simple for her, and she hadn't enjoyed the pleasure of using her brain when answering questions for a long time.
When she finished answering the last math question, she looked up and saw that there was still half an hour before the deadline, and other students were still writing furiously.
So she checked it again for the first time, and after making sure there were no omissions, she began to summarize the knowledge points involved in the test paper on the draft paper.
By the time the teacher came to collect the papers, her draft paper was already full. In addition to the knowledge points, she also designed more profound questions to ask and answer herself.
The math teacher was Mr. Wu, the head teacher of the class next door. When collecting the test papers, he took a special look at Su Miao's draft paper because it was the first time he saw her draft paper so full.
It only took a few seconds for her eyes to light up. Not only was there knowledge and new questions, but there were also newer problem-solving ideas, some of which she might not even have mastered. This... where did he learn this? She wanted to snatch the draft paper away.
"Teacher?" Su Miao's puzzled voice woke her up.
Teacher Wu quickly collected the test paper as if nothing had happened. "What a loss of composure!" she thought. "But how could this kid be so outstanding? I heard he excels in every subject. He's incredibly well-rounded."
Wuuuuu! She suddenly felt inferior. She remembered how hard she had to study in junior high school. How could this child look so relaxed?
What she didn't know was that Su Miao had over a decade more experience in learning and teaching than her classmates! Furthermore, in order to help students sprint for the Mathematical Olympiad, she had researched numerous problem-solving ideas and methods, all of which were the result of her hard work.
