Zheng Fangxing continued, "I don't know if you've noticed, but mathematics is a magical subject..."
You're an even more amazing person. Li Lechen thought to himself.
"...From your school days to now, have you ever encountered anyone around you who's truly amazing at math? Someone who consistently scores over 145 points? In all the years I've taught, there have been students like that in every class, like Mo Xingxing in our class." Zheng Fangxing said, giving a serious thumbs-up to his class representative, a boy in the first row who was also quite tall and had slightly curly hair.
These days, seating arrangements are definitely not based on height or eyesight, but on grades.
Those with good grades, okay, sit a little closer to the teacher.
Although Mo Xingxing was not the student with the best math score among all the students Zheng Fangxing had ever taught, he was at least the student with the best math score in the entire senior year of high school.
Zheng Fangxing was right. Mo Xingxin's math scores were indeed outstanding. He consistently scored above 145 points on every exam, a 20-30 point advantage over other students. This made up for his weakness in Chinese and English, allowing him to rank among the top ten in his class.
That's all.
Therefore, he couldn't be the class monitor for studies, but could only be the math class representative.
But this is enough to make Zheng Fangxing proud.
"I have recommended Mo Xingxing to three prestigious universities. With his mathematical talent, hard work, and past honors, it is entirely possible for him to be admitted through the early admission program."
As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause suddenly erupted in the classroom.
Mo Xingxing was looking at the last challenging question when she was startled. She quickly stood up, smiled and bowed to Zheng Fangxing.
The effort was real, but the talent was actually a lie.
Only Mo Xingxing knew that the reason she felt sleepy in other classes was not because she looked down on other subjects, but because she stayed up too late at night and was too tired.
"But!" After setting up an excellent example, Zheng Fangxing obviously wanted to find a comparison. "There are also some of you who are really bad at math. In every math exam, there are always a few who only get 40 or 50 points out of 150."
Li Lechen was startled: he usually scored in the 60s or 70s, so that couldn't be referring to him. He calmly began to bury himself in writing on the answer sheet.
"For example, in our class..." Zheng Fangxing paused, then mysteriously pulled out a list from somewhere, glanced at it, and continued, "...Li Lechen, who had the worst grades in the final exams..."
"ha?!"
Li Lechen was startled. Wasn't his score supposed to be in the 40s or 50s? He had scored 75 on his math final exam.
"...Li Lechen's total score was 3 points lower than the second-to-last student, but his math score was 16 points lower. What does this tell us?!"
No one answered.
Who knows?
At least I wasn't caught in the crossfire.
"If Li Lechen can improve his math score by just 4 points, just 4 points, he can surpass the second-to-last student and become the third-to-last student!!"
Zheng Fangxing became excited again, as if he was just waiting for everyone to applaud and approve after he uttered those two exclamation marks.
However, there was no cherry blossom
Life is tough, everyone knows that.
The friendships among high school classmates are generally quite pure.
Moreover, Li Lechen is usually low-key and hasn't offended anyone. In fact, because of him, there's no need to worry about him coming in last in the class.
"Teacher Zheng... Teacher Zheng..."
Another proctor, Ruan Chenni, couldn't help but offer a reminder.
"I know, five minutes have passed. I'll just say one last thing and then extend the exam time for everyone," Zheng Fangxing said impatiently.
In his view, taking advantage of the opportunity before such a large mock exam to guzzle motivational quotes is an excellent method. Many people will be deeply moved by it and then work hard in their final year.
Grades can also improve significantly.
That's really thoughtful.
But Ruan Chenni had good intentions, and she tried her best to remind him: "Teacher Zheng, you just... made a mistake... even if you surpass the second to last place, you are still the second to last place."
Well, if I don't point out the mistake, I won't even realize it; it'll just be in the past. But once I do point it out, Zheng Fangxing's face immediately turns red.
"Exams! Exams! I will immediately notify parents in the group chat if anyone scores below 80 on this mock exam!"
"......"
It's only being announced individually, which saves face for the parents. If it were announced in the parents' group, they would definitely be beaten up by both boys and girls until they question their existence.
The tone was mild, but the consequences were severe.
But isn't this request a bit too late?
Lin Kun, who had already started working on the questions, subconsciously turned his head to look at Li Lechen.
I feel a little sorry for him.
It seems he has never actually scored above 80 in math.
I hope he really studied hard during the summer vacation, and I hope that his fluent answers just now were not because he copied, but because he truly understood the material.
Suddenly, Li Lechen also looked up, and the two of them made eye contact. Oh no, there were two pairs of glasses too, so it was eight eyes meeting.
Lin Kun quickly lowered his head.
Although the two are deskmates, and although Li Lechen had just helped me with my problem, I will definitely uphold my moral principles, strictly abide by the student code of conduct, and resolutely refrain from plagiarism or allowing others to plagiarize.
Thinking this, he clutched the exam paper tightly and buried his head even lower.
Li Lechen then quickly started working on the questions. Although he was wearing glasses and had Cheng Xixi with him, he was still very nervous, wondering how the questions would go.
Question 1.
I glanced at the question, understood it, and seemed capable of solving it; I should choose...
Thinking of this, a photo appeared on the lens.
I don't know which exam paper or which question it is, but it's the exact same question, even the numbers in the question stem are the same.
In the photo, the answer to this question is d, which is 6.
Li Lechen was about to draw a 'd' when he suddenly realized that the answer corresponding to 'd' was not 6, but 5.5. The answer 6 was in option a.
That's outrageous!
Option A is the least frequent option on math exams. The saying "If you don't know, choose D; substitute B first" is a mnemonic personally taught by Teacher Zheng.
I simply marked option A on the answer sheet.
Question 2.
After scanning the question, a photo appeared on the lens, matching perfectly.
This time, just look at the answer directly, without looking at the options.
It's an A again.
Is this a scheme to trap those who can't do it?
After that, for three consecutive questions, although I found the exact same questions in my summer homework, I still managed to choose option A for all of them.
Fortunately, Li Lechen was quite calm, because the answers to these questions were all written by Zhou Mi. Even if they were wrong, they were still among the top ten in the entire school.
I'm not worried at all.
Then they did seven more questions, and none of them chose d; only one answer was b.
So this is a carefully orchestrated scheme to scam people.
I drew the letter 'a' on the next question.
The answer to question 16 should be d.
Suddenly, a comment appeared in front of him. Because he had been focused on the photo on the lens, Li Lechen was stunned.
