The next day, the students faced the thing they were most reluctant to face, but also the thing they were looking forward to the most, which was the final exam. They were reluctant to face it because once they finished the exam and got bad grades, they would not
have a good time when they went home for the New Year. What they were looking forward to was that if the final exam was over, they might finally be able to be happy after working hard for a whole semester.
Compared with those who were sharpening their weapons before the battle, An An was much more relaxed. There were students in the classroom who were all reciting. Of course, there were also people who copied during the exam. Some recited by themselves, while others made cheat sheets.
Hands, clothes, drawers, books, and all kinds of things that could be used as clips were all thought of by the students.
But when the exam came, the teacher was unexpectedly strict and changed the exam room with the class next door. Those students who had written their notes on the drawers or books were crying out in pain. What should they do if the exam room suddenly changed? It
was really terrible!
Those students who didn't write their notes on books or drawers were secretly delighted. How could they be so smart to think of putting the notes in their palms and on their arms under thick clothes?
It was really a brilliant idea.
But before they had been secretly celebrating for three minutes, the teachers came with a basin of water and asked everyone to put their hands into the basin to wash them. At this point, only the student who wrote the cheat sheet on his arm was still holding on.
But it was no use!
In the past, there was only one proctor for the exam, but this time there were two. The two teachers sat on the podium and at the back of the classroom respectively, staring at every student in the exam room with their clear eyes without blinking. Looking at the way they looked, if any student made any move, they would not be able to escape the eyes of the proctor.
So, the student who wrote the cheat sheet on his arm could only return home in disappointment.
Unfortunately, the content of this exam was all the same as what they had memorized from the textbooks before, especially the Chinese language, which was exactly the same as in the textbooks. If they had been willing to put in a little thought and take a look at the Buddha's feet, they would definitely not be scratching their ears and complaining as soon as they got the test paper.
However, there is no medicine for regret in the world. The books that they had hidden in the drawer were also stuck in the next classroom. If time could go back, they really wanted to! If they really wanted to open the page of the book, they would definitely read it carefully. Not to mention memorizing all of it, at least memorizing half of it would be good.
At this time, there are many students who regret their exams. The teacher told them before the exam that they will be reclassified because they will take the college entrance examination next year. This time, the classes will be divided into key classes.
If the students have excellent grades, they will naturally be in the same class, and the teacher will focus on training them. If the students have poor grades, they can only go to other classes that are not valued. Compared with the excellent class, the teaching staff and teaching methods of this ordinary class are naturally different from those of the excellent class.
To be fair, no matter how much these students like to play and not study, no one is willing to say that they were eliminated from the excellent class and assigned to the ordinary class. This is also related to the self-esteem of these students. What's more, after graduating from high school, they can only find a job in the county town, and girls can get married hastily.
Boys with good family conditions can get ideal jobs, while those with poor family conditions will go to the workshop like many textile factory workers they have seen before. However, they are better than those workers who work in textile factories by strength. They can do arithmetic and read, and have a high school degree as a background, so they are not bad.
But compared to the students with good grades who can go to college and leave Taisong County to see the outside world, they naturally yearn for the latter.
Nowadays, those who can afford to go to high school are from well-off families and those from poor families. Those
from poor families hope to change their fate through studying. They are eager to know whether what Teacher Sun said, that knowledge can change fate, is true. Students from well-off families want to go to a bigger place. It is precisely because of their good family conditions that they know the wonderful world outside and their own shortcomings. If they want to go outside, going to college is the only way out.
Therefore, those students who didn't take the exam seriously before also did enough cheating this time, but they didn't expect the teacher to be so cruel. He changed the exam room temporarily and brought in a basin of water for them to wash their hands one by one, and washed them thoroughly, eliminating the last hope of cheating.
Compared with those students who were so anxious that they wanted to eat the books on the spot, An An was much more relaxed. The questions on today's Chinese paper were basically based on the books. In An An's words, the difficulty of the questions this year was equivalent to that of junior high school in the future, so An An didn't find it difficult, especially for Chinese. As long as he put in a little effort before, he could get at least 80 points on this paper, if not 100 points.
An An knew the Chinese teacher's style of asking questions, so before the test, she basically guessed most of the questions that the Chinese teacher would ask, and highlighted the key points for Ban Xia and Hu Xiaohua. If they were willing, the questions would be difficult for everyone, but not difficult for Hu Xiaohua and Ban Xia.
An An's guess was right. Hu Xiaohua would be so lucky. At this critical moment, it was different to have a top student as a friend. Look at the knowledge points that An An circled for her before the test. Not to mention ten questions!
She must have guessed eight correctly. Although Hu Xiaohua was not smart, she was a good and obedient student. Once the teacher assigned a task, she was the first one to work hard.
With An An urging her to focus on the key points, Hu Xiaohua had already memorized all the important knowledge points before the exam. This time, she specifically picked out the knowledge points she had memorized to write. For the first time, she found that the exam could be so easy! There was no pressure at all, unlike before, when her mind went blank and she had nothing in mind when she was anxious. She
could only fail the exam every time.
Banxia was not as lucky as Hu Xiaohua. Although An An pointed out the important knowledge points for her, she was completely immersed in love. Every time she recited, she was easily distracted. Her mind was really full of Teacher Zhen's every frown and smile. The word "every frown and smile" is not an exaggeration. Now Banxia has been completely fascinated and even relaxed a little in her studies.
Teacher Zhen knew this, but who would say that Banxia was useless at this moment? Teacher Zhen had even urged Banxia to study since he talked to An'an last time. But he was a man and he underestimated girls in love, especially those who were passionately in love.
Banxia's self-control ability was not very good, so she had to take the exam.
Banxia looked at each question and felt that they were not difficult. She remembered that An'an had highlighted the key points for her to recite, but she was not serious when she recited, and what she wrote was specious. She
could not guarantee that it was correct, and she would be as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, just like the students who made cheat sheets. She wished that time could go back and bring the book over. She would definitely recite it well, but time could not go back.
She looked up at Hu Xiaohua who was writing furiously. From the time the papers were distributed to the time she took the papers, she had never raised her head and her pen was moving. Banxia smiled bitterly. Xiaohua must have listened to An An! She wrote down the knowledge points that An An had marked, so that she could write furiously.
She felt a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she would have been more serious when An An and Xiaohua urged her! She should have been more careful! It wouldn't have been like this. She was familiar with every question and could remember the first half but not the second half.
Banxia looked at An An with some regret. Unlike Xiaohua who was writing furiously with sweat all over his forehead, An An looked relaxed and the strength of his writing was just right, not too fast or too slow. It was obvious that he was confident.
When Banxia was looking around, the invigilator sitting on the podium clenched his fist, put it to his lips, and coughed lightly, "Students, do your own papers, don't look around."
Suddenly, Banxia's face turned red and hot, she knew the invigilator was talking about her.
For a moment, she was confused, but because of this, she was able to concentrate a lot and put her mind completely on the paper.
An An felt something in her heart and looked up at Banxia. Seeing that her face was full of anxiety and beads of sweat kept dripping onto the paper, she sighed slightly, and the thing she was most worried about still happened.
Banxia was blind to this extent for Teacher Zhen, or for love.
She had highlighted all the key points at that time, which was equivalent to feeding the food into Banxia's mouth, but she swallowed it whole because she was too lazy to chew. This time she suffered a loss.
However, after a slight sigh, An An looked at her own paper. She had not finished the last big question. Now was not the time to take care of Banxia, and she had not finished her own paper.
She finished the last question, which was the composition, and it was also the highest score in the entire paper. When she thought of it, An An held the pen tightly in her hand and would write for a long time. After three minutes, she had an idea in her mind. When she started writing, it seemed as if she was assisted by God. It was really fast, even extraordinary. In just 20 minutes, she finished writing a composition. After checking everything, she became the first person to hand in the paper in the examination room.
When the students in the examination room heard the sound of An An getting up and pulling out the stool, they couldn't help but look up and looked over. They saw that Gu An An had handed in the paper so quickly, and they were really jealous!
They still had a lot of papers to finish, but the top student had already handed it in. It turned out
that people are different. An An didn't know what everyone was thinking. She handed the paper to the invigilator. The invigilator was stunned, as if she didn't expect that a student would hand in the paper so soon. She asked, "Why don't you check it?" The meaning contained in the sentence was naturally that she hoped An An would check it. After all, even the best students would make mistakes.
An An shook her head and refused, "No! I have already checked." This sentence was heard by the students sitting in the front row. They took a breath and looked at their own blank paper. They couldn't help but feel regretful.
How can people be so different!
After leaving the examination room, An An did not rush to leave. Instead, she lay down in the corridor and took out her arithmetic exercise book directly. Her wrong question book was tucked in the exercise book. For
arithmetic class, it is useless to expect to memorize before the battle. It can be said that among so many classes, arithmetic class is the only one that does not require memorization. You only need to understand one trick, and the rest of the tricks will be open.
What An An had to do was to review all the wrong questions, so as not to make mistakes again in the afternoon exam. Outsiders only saw that An An always got first place in the exam, but they didn't know that she also wasted a lot of effort in private.
Halfway through the wrong questions, Ban Xia and Hu Xiaohua came out of the classroom. Hu Xiaohua had a bright joy on her face. She patted An An's shoulder and said excitedly, "An An, I used all the points you marked for me!"
"That's because you put in the effort to recite!" An An smiled and shook her head, then looked at Ban Xia, "How is it?" In fact, she didn't need to ask, compared with the joy on Hu Xiaohua's face and the regret on Ban Xia's face, she already knew the answer.
Banxia felt a little ashamed and felt sorry for An An. She lowered her head and stammered, "I... I forgot everything..."
