Chapter 33 Chapter 32 Title of Gold List

After June, it's the end of the school year.Mr. Stich's teaching career at Abangli School is also coming to an end.In the evening, Anne and Diana came back from school sullenly. Their red eye circles and soaked handkerchiefs proved that Mr. Stich's farewell speech was as touching as Mr. Phillips's speech three years ago. Diana stood at the foot of the hill covered with needle fir trees, looked back at the school building, and couldn't help but sighed a long time. "It really feels like it's over," Diana said gloomily. "Diana is better than me. You can still go to school in September." Annie said as she turned inside the handkerchief that was no longer cool.It's also humid inside. "And I, if I'm lucky, may have to say goodbye to Abangli School forever."

"But when I got back to school, the school was different, and Mrs. Stich was gone, and Anne, Jenny, and Ruby were gone, and I had to sit alone behind my desk, where I used to sit with Anne. But now, no one can sit with me anymore. We were very happy together in the past, but now I can't bear the thought that we will go our separate ways soon." As she spoke, Diana burst into tears It flowed down in a sound. "Don't cry. If you don't cry, I can hold back the grief. Mrs. Linde often said that the more you are in a bad mood, the more you should cheer up. I think it is possible to return to Yabangli next school year School, I have a hunch that I may not pass the exam, and recently, this hunch has become stronger and stronger, which is really scary."

"Why, didn't you do very well in the mock test that Mr. Stich gave?" "It's good, but I'm not stage-frightened by the teacher's exams. When I think of the official entrance exam, I get so scared that my heart thumps and I get bored. Besides, my test number is 13, and George Parker Yi said that the number 13 is a very unlucky number. I am not superstitious and know that this number does not matter much. But it is best not to give me the number 13." "It would be great if I could go to the city together. I must feel very proud. At night, you will have to study hard."

"Everyone has promised Mrs. Stich that they will never touch the textbooks again. The teacher said that reading books now can only cause fatigue and confusion. It is best to go for a walk every day, try not to think about the exam, and go early in the evening Sleep. While this is good advice, it can be difficult to follow, as most so-called good advice is. "Before, Prissy Andrews went to bed late every night during the week of exams, trying to memorize things by rote. Now I am almost the same as Prissy, and I have been studying until late. In While in town, Grandma Josephine said she wanted me to stay at her place in Seaside Forest, and I couldn't be more grateful."

"Will you be able to receive letters while you are in the city?" "On Tuesday night, I will write a letter to talk about the situation of the first day of the exam, and I will definitely send you a letter." Annie swore. "Then I'll be at the post office on Wednesday," Diana swore. Anne entered the city on Monday, and Diana waited in front of the post office on Wednesday as scheduled, and finally received Anne's letter.The letter reads: Dear Diana: It is Tuesday night.I am writing to you from my study at my lodging in the Sea Forest.Last night, I slept alone in the guest room, feeling very lonely and lonely, and I thought it would be nice to have you here.Because I made an appointment with the teacher, I can't study hard.But it feels very bad not to be able to open history books, and it feels very bad not to be able to read novels before the end of studies.Mrs Stich came to pick me up from the college and we stopped by Jenny and Ruby on the way.When I hold hands with Ruby, her hands feel as cold as ice.When George saw me, he whined that she hadn't had a good night's sleep.Even if I pass the exam, I don't have enough physical strength to withstand the pressure of the courses at Quinn College. Although I try my best to like George, it still has no effect.

As soon as you enter the campus of the college, you will see crowds of people everywhere.Students gathered from all over the island crowded the college.The first thing I saw was Moody Spajohn sitting on the stone steps, muttering by himself.I asked him what he was doing, and he replied that he was reciting Xiao Jiujiu repeatedly in order to calm his nerves. He also begged me not to disturb him, saying that it would be terrible to stop for a while, and he would forget everything he remembered.However, when it comes to reciting Xiaojiujiu, I am still quite sure. The examination room has already been set, and the teacher cannot go in together.I was next to Jenny, and she was so calm and composed that I couldn't help but envy her.And whenever something happens in my heart, it will be reflected on my face, and even my heartbeat can be heard by others.

Soon, a man walked in and started handing out English test papers.As soon as I received the test paper, my hands became cold and my head became dizzy. For a moment, I felt that my mood was exactly the same as when I asked Marilla four years ago if I could stay in Green Gaybruzzi. It was simply terrible.Unexpectedly, after a while, he quickly returned to normal, his mind was always clear, and his heart began to beat. At first, Zeng Wanjin stopped beating for a moment. I came back for lunch at noon, because I had to take a history exam in the afternoon, so I went to college again.The history questions are quite difficult, and the year names are messed up.Even so, I passed the exam today.

But, Diane, tomorrow is a geometry test.I had no choice but to open the geometry book and bite the bullet.Patience requires great will. If Xiao Jiujiu can work, I will start reciting it from now until tomorrow morning. In the evening, I went to visit my friends.On the way, I met Moody Spajohan coming in a big way.Moody felt that he did not do well in history.He said he was born to live up to his parents' expectations and wanted to take the morning train home.He said it was more comfortable to be a carpenter than a priest. I advised him to persevere until the end. If he didn't pass the exam, wouldn't he be sorry for Mr. Stich?I sometimes think I'd be a boy, but when I see Moody, I'm glad I'm a girl, especially not Moody's sister.

When I arrived at the dormitory of my classmates, I saw that Ruby had become half crazy.In the English test, she made a serious mistake.No sooner had she calmed down than she went out for ice cream, and everybody said it would have been nice if Diana had been around. Oh, Diana, what if I fail my geometry exam?Then, Mrs. Lynde must think, Anne stumbled in geometry, but the sun would still rise and set the same.That being said, for me, if it fails, it is better for the sun not to rise. Your faithful friend Anne Soon all examinations are over.Annie also came home on Friday evening.She felt a little tired, but she had an intuition that she had passed the exam.Diana was waiting for her return in Green Gaybruzzi. The two seemed happy to see each other again, as if they hadn't seen each other for many years.

"You're back, Annie. I'm glad you're back. You've been away for decades. How are you doing?" "Except for geometry, I think I answered well. I don't know how well I did in geometry. I hate geometry, and I feel like I can't do it no matter what I do. Ah! It's still good, Green Gybrutz is the best in the world." The most beautiful place." "How did the others do?" "The girls said they didn't do well, but they all did well. George said geometry was so easy a 10-year-old could do it. Moody Spajohn couldn't do history, and Charlie couldn't do it." Lost in algebra.

"However, the results are not yet clear, and we have to wait two weeks before the results are released. I have to live in fear for two weeks. I really want to just fall asleep like this, and sleep until the results are released before waking up." As for how Gilbert Bryce was doing in the exam, it was useless to inquire about it, Diana knew this very well. So she just comforted Annie with something like "It's okay, you can pass the exam, don't worry".But Annie immediately argued, "If you can't pass the high-level exam, it's better if you can't pass the exam." Diana knew Anne's temper.Even if she managed to barely pass, she still couldn't be satisfied with herself, and whenever she recalled the exam, she would feel bad. Anne took defeating Gilbert as her goal. During the exam, she tensed up all her nerves and devoted herself to the competition with all her strength. Gilbert and Anne met on the road several times, but they both walked past without seeing each other.And every time she bumped into Gilbert, Anne raised her chin even more pompously than before.Anne's desire became stronger every time others persuaded Anne and Gilbert to reconcile.But as soon as he met Gilbert, he vowed again that he would never lose to Gilbert in the exam. Annie knew that the students at Albany were watching to see who was victorious.Jimmy Gropp and Ned? Wright made a bet on it.In addition, she heard George Pai say that Gilbert's victory is certain, so she felt that if she failed the exam, the humiliation would be unbearable. For Anne, there was another reason for wanting to get good grades, and that was for Marshall and Marilla, especially for Marshall.Marshall had said that Anne would do "certainly as well as any candidate on the island".Although Anne thinks that this is just a illusory thing that is divorced from reality, it should not be counted on.But she seemed to see Marshall's kind brown eyes blinking and blinking again, as if he was earnestly asking her; if there is a way, at least the top 10 must be admitted.So Annie desperately memorized those boring equations and verbs.It can be said that I have devoted myself to learning with unprecedented enthusiasm. As soon as the two weeks had passed, Anne, along with the restless Jenny, Ruby, and George, went to the post office to inquire.Everyone was as nervous as during the exam.With trembling hands, they opened the Charlotte Monthly and searched carefully.Charlie and Gilbert also rushed to the post office at some point.Only Moody Spajohn stubbornly did not come. "I don't have the patience to go to the post office. I have to wait for one of you to come and tell me I'm qualified." Moody said to Anne. Three weeks have passed, but the passing grades are still lingering.Anne was so nervous that she couldn't bear it anymore, her appetite decreased, and she became indifferent to the new things in Yabangli.Mrs Lynde said furiously that the Postmaster General was a Conservative, so it was only natural that this should happen.Seeing Anne trudging her feet every day and returning from the post office disheartened and disappointed, Marshall began to seriously consider whether he should vote for the Liberal Party in the next election. Finally one night the notification came.Annie was sitting by the open window at the time.Only at this time of the day can she temporarily forget about exams and worldly troubles.At this time, she was completely intoxicated by the pastoral scenery at dusk in summer.The flower beds under the windows constantly exude the charming fragrance of flowers.The breeze blows, and there is a sound of swaying poplar branches and leaves.The western sky above the fir trees was tinted pale pink by sunset. Just when Anne was deeply attracted by this natural landscape, she suddenly found that Diana was holding a newspaper in her hand, passing through the fir forest, crossing the single-plank bridge, and climbing up the hill. Anne realized at once that there must be something in the papers, and stood up recklessly.The results are announced!Her head immediately became dizzy, and her heartbeat accelerated rapidly. She was so nervous that she couldn't move a step. Diana ran through the gate, so excited that she rushed straight into the room without knocking, and it seemed to her that it took a full hour by now. "Annie, you passed the exam, and you came first!" Diana shouted. "Gilbert is also number one, and you two are tied for first place. However, Anne's name is on the top. I'm so proud of you!" Diana threw the newspaper on the table, was so out of breath that she couldn't even speak, and collapsed on Anne's bed from exhaustion. Annie was going to light the lamp, but she made a mistake and turned the matchbox upside down.She struck the matches with trembling hands, and after breaking six of them, she managed to light the lamp.Then, he grabbed the newspaper.real!Passed!My name is listed first among more than 200 qualified candidates! "Annie did the best in the exam." Diana finally breathed evenly and could speak, but Annie just flashed her big bright eyes and didn't say a word. "That is, 10 minutes ago, my father came back from Brett Riba with the newspaper. It was sent by train in the afternoon, and it was delivered by the post office. It will not arrive tomorrow. When I saw the list of qualified candidates, I almost wanted Become crazy. "All seven of you got in. Even Moody Spajohn got in. Jenny and Ruby got fairly high marks, and they were in the middle of the pack. Charlie did the same. George passed the cut-off pretty well, although It is said that it is only three points above the admission line, but George will definitely be proud and complacent as if he won the first place. Teacher Stich will definitely be overjoyed. "Annie, how does it feel to have your name at the top of the list of so many qualified candidates? I would have been wild with joy, and now I'm a little deranged. And you're so calm and unflappable." "I was very confused. Although I had a lot of things I wanted to say, I didn't know what to say. I never even dreamed of being the first in the exam. No, I only thought about it once, and only once thought that I might be on the island. First place in the internal examination, etc. When I say this myself, I am a bit conceited and too thick-skinned. "I'm sorry, Diana, but I must hurry and tell Marshall in the field the news, and then go out into the streets and tell everyone the good news." The two hurried to the hayfield on the left side of the warehouse, where Marshall was baling hay, and it happened that Mrs. Lynde was standing by the gate talking with Marilla. "Marshall, I passed the exam! It's the first place, one of the joint first! I'm so happy!" Marshall looked at the list of qualified candidates cheerfully, "How about it, as I said before, this test is really easy for you." "You did so well in the exam, Annie!" Although Marilla was very happy, she still restrained herself in front of the critical Mrs. Linde. The kind-hearted Mrs. Linde congratulated her from the bottom of her heart and said, "Annie really did well in the exam. She did everything so happily and beautifully, which is in line with my nature. Annie, you are also my pride, and everyone is doing it for you. And proud." That night, after talking with Mrs. Alan in the parsonage, Anne quietly knelt by the window.Under the soft moonlight, she murmured thanks to God from the bottom of her heart for her blessing, and prayed devoutly that her ambitions would be realized one by one in the future, and then she fell asleep on a white pillow, wandering in a world full of girlish hopes. , bright, beautiful dream world.
