Chapter 106 The Magazine Comes
Chapter 106 The Magazine Comes
"It's terrible, there's no morning exercise." Liu Wen sighed. Unlike ordinary students, he looked forward to morning exercises. It was too difficult to stay in the experimental class, and the number of times he went to the toilet every day was carefully calculated.
It is not an exaggeration, the animals in the experimental class are animals, but that is only within the scope of the experimental class. The Tsinghua and Peking University classes are even more exaggerated, either they are extremely talented or they are the best at taking the exams, and their progress in class is much faster than that of other classes.
For Liu Wen, morning exercises were the only chance to relax and unwind in the day. The key point was that he felt he had no talent for learning at all. Every day he felt like a scarecrow standing on straw, anxiously trying his best to barely keep up.
But he dared not tell his parents about his stress, because Liu Wen's parents were just ordinary workers who worked hard every day to earn money for his schooling. Faced with his parents' early morning and late night work, Liu Wen could only keep it to himself.
Many students in No. 8 Middle School are like this, carrying the expectations of their elders. Fortunately, most students have not fallen behind...
Today's morning exercises were cancelled because it rained yesterday and there was some water on the playground.
I don’t know if it has something to do with the terrain, but it seems that the drainage systems of most schools in the foggy city are not good, and the playground of No. 37 Middle School also accumulates water.
“Excellent students…Will such excellent students suffer more?”
Liu Wen looked at the interview plan sent by Zhang Liwan, a core member of the club. The plan was to interview Gu Lu, a student writer in the first year of high school.
He looked at the other person's information and thought that it was really hard to keep writing while having busy studies.
The president of Time Radio is Liu Wen, a senior high school student. Although he will step down in the next semester, he wants to step down this semester.
Gu Lu, the excellent student mentioned by Liu Wen in the experimental class, is worried about some personal problems - is it that some people's brains are not designed to run science programs since birth?
As we enter the new winter, the monthly exam has just passed, and the results have not yet come out, the whole school is filled with an impetuous mood.
Even during breaks, students' conversations are always about points. No wonder there is an old saying that goes "Points are the root of life."
The results of the first monthly exam determine the student mobility between the experimental class and the parallel class. Class ten is mainly based on competition and there will be no mobility.
But grades also determine the seating order in the class, so it will definitely be affected. The master of making fun of others, Wei Lili, and Zeng Jie, whose mouth is always faster than his brain, have both behaved themselves.
However, Wei Lili’s condition may not be due to the exam, but it may be that his parents were called in a few days ago.
From Gu Lu's point of view, asking parents for help has a great impact on students, and the effect can last at least two weeks!
The only news about Class 10 was that Lu Yi had his hair cut. His previous thick bangs were cut off and replaced with slightly more flowing side bangs, which at least revealed his eyes.
However, squad leader Lu Yi did not become more confident by exposing his eyes. Instead, as there was no hair blocking his eyes, his gaze became even more evasive.
Like stray cats and dogs, they will flee at the slightest disturbance.
After two days of depression, the monthly exam results are finally out!
"Lu Yi, Chinese 138 points, Mathematics 150 points, English 148 points..." Teacher Gao received the transcript and started reading from the highest score.
Since elementary school, teachers like to "sing" the grades in front of the whole class. Perhaps it is to give glory to students who do well in the exams, to encourage them to maintain the glory, and at the same time to encourage those who do poorly to work hard in secret.
But the homeroom teacher is different from other teachers after all. Teacher Gao stopped reading the names of the 26th Dou Ke students and said, "I won't read the rest. Come up and get your papers."
The students whose names were not called went up one by one to take the papers from the teacher.
"There is room for improvement in your English scores," "Be sure to check the paper again after finishing it next time, so a lot of deductions can be avoided," "Your composition is off topic, don't always try to take an unconventional approach," etc. Teacher Gao will give students advice in a concise and concise manner.
When it was Gu Lu's turn, Teacher Gao handed over a few papers and said in silence for a few seconds, "The Chinese is good, and the composition is very good. Keep it up."
"Thank you, teacher." Gu Lu took the test paper and returned to his seat.
"What's your total score?" My deskmate Tian Xiao protected his paper while looking around.
"Look for yourself—" Gu Lu took out the Chinese test paper.
The full score is 150 points, and I got 132 points, and the composition got full marks. "What a great composition, "It's hard to grind an iron rod into a needle just by hard work", I didn't know how to write it when I saw the title." Tian Xiao said.
[“If you work hard enough, you can grind an iron rod into a needle” is said to be a story about Li Bai, but in fact Li Bai never described it himself, nor is it recorded by Li Yangbing.
Unofficial history may not be true, but it is certainly wild enough. The iron pestle that is truly ground into a needle does not rely on hard work.
"Is the story of an iron rod being ground into a needle a lie?" Tian Xiao was surprised. "We taught this story in elementary school. As long as you are persistent, you can grind an iron rod into an embroidery needle."
"Seventy to eighty percent are false. Li Yangbing didn't write it." Gu Lu said.
"Who is Li Yangbing? Li Bai's son?" The subtext of Tian Xiao's words is, why doesn't Li Yangbing exist if he is not written?
"Li Yangbing was Li Bai's cousin and a fanatical fan of Li Bai. The Preface to the Collection of Works from the Thatched Cottage written by him introduced Li Bai's life and creative process, and is the most important historical material for studying Li Bai," said Gu Lu. "Li Bai entrusted all his poems to Li Yangbing before his death."
He knows a lot of miscellaneous knowledge. But Tian Xiao thinks it is normal. If a writer doesn't even have this little knowledge, how can he still be called a writer?
"Didn't Li Bai die while trying to catch the moon? How can he still be given a manuscript?" Wei Jiao at the table behind suddenly interrupted.
"actually……"
"I don't care. Li Bai died while trying to catch the moon after getting drunk." Wei Jiao interrupted Gu Lu.
"You're right, the Immortal Poet died by trying to catch the moon." Gu Lu understood that everyone thought that such a romantic way of death was more suitable for the Immortal Poet.
Wei Jiao nodded with satisfaction, but was called out by Teacher Gao the next second for whispering. As the papers had been distributed to the whole class, Wei Jiao and the other two who were talking stood out particularly well.
The next class was math, and Mr. Lu's tone was stiff. Especially for the knowledge points of the unit he just taught, many students did not fully grasp them.
"These questions are easy to get points, why are there still people who get them wrong?"
"Take out the test paper, and I'll go through it one last time."
The whole class is studying seriously——
The sound of knocking on the door was particularly clear.
The classroom doors are closed when the teacher is teaching, and can only be left ajar during breaks, even if the air conditioner is on.
Teacher Lu frowned. Who is the ignorant one? He walked over to the podium with big strides and reached the desk in two steps.
Whoever’s knocking on the door, you’d better be in trouble!
"Director Hu, what can I do for you?" Teacher Lu's tone and expression became restrained.
The person outside the door was indeed Director Hu, the Admissions Office Director, with his signature smiling eyes.
The Admissions Office has a lot of power, and Mr. Lu is the director, so there is no choice but to correct his attitude.
"Sorry to bother Mr. Lu with his class." Director Hu said.
"I'm talking about the test paper," Teacher Lu said, "I'm fine."
This is what——
Director Hu didn't care. Lu Datou's words easily offended people and he was "well-known" in the school.
"I'm looking for Gu Lu," Director Hu said. "Gu Lu, come with me. The editor-in-chief of the magazine is here to see you."
