Chapter 7 first quarter

16 One day during the review, Qiao Qiao called. What is displayed on my mobile phone is eleven Arabic numerals, and her phone number has not been stored in my mobile phone. What I save are the phone numbers of friends or classmates I keep in touch with frequently. I write down the numbers of many people I have met once in a notebook. This notebook is not important to me. Maybe I will never use it in my life, and Qiao Qiao's phone is among them.At that time, I had no desire to be friends with her. I just saw her as one of the passers-by in my life, but I didn't expect her to take me seriously.

Qiao Qiao asked me on the phone: "Have you found a way out for life?" I said, "I found it, but I don't know if it's flat." Qiao Qiao asked: "What kind of road?" I said: "The postgraduate entrance examination is the only way out at present." Qiao Qiao said: "There is a long way to go." I said: "I'm ready to eradicate monsters and overcome difficulties. I have been struggling with English words for the past few days, but unfortunately I have gained very little. Now I am practicing listening." Qiao Qiao said: "Are you sure you can pass the initial test? This is the first time you see someone who is so confident in yourself. Blind optimism is taboo in revolutionary struggle."

I said: "It's too late for me to be pessimistic. I don't have any confidence at all, so this is not practicing listening." Qiao Qiao said: "Don't you know that there is no listening comprehension test in the first English test?" I said: "Ah?! There's nothing else to be tested, tell me quickly, is the composition test still to be taken?" Qiao Qiao said: "All exams, just cancel the listening comprehension, and add a composition and cloze." I said: "Fortunately, I was reminded now. If I only found out about this the day before the exam, I would have to cry. It was almost the opposite."

Qiao Qiao said: "Have you ever thought of a shortcut to review?" I said, "I have considered it, but the examination system is strict, and cheating is impossible." Qiao Qiao said: "What kind of thinking is this? Is there no other way if you don't cheat?" I said, "Do you know the teacher who gave the question?" Qiao Qiao said: "Why do you always think about getting something for nothing?" I said, "I can't think of a better way." Qiao Qiao said: "There are roads in the mountains of books, and you have to rely on your own efforts."

I said: "I thought you had a better way, but if you say it, you don't say it. I have understood this truth since the first day of elementary school." Qiaoqiao said: "But you can't do useless work, you have to use your energy in the right place. Why Archimedes said he could pry up the earth is because he knows where to use his energy." Then he took a breath and said, "Like you at home It doesn’t work behind closed doors, the school has a postgraduate entrance examination tutoring class, all of which are taught by famous teachers, and they are highly targeted, telling you what is the key point and what you don’t need to look at, I have already signed up.”

I said: "I don't need him to tell me, I read everything required in the syllabus, and treated the non-key points as the key points, if I don't believe you, I won't pass the exam." How helpful it is is another matter. Qiao Qiao said: "You are sick, why don't you save time and energy if you can save trouble?" I said, "I have so much energy that I can't afford to waste it." Qiao Qiao said: "Then I don't care about you, just do what you love." I said: "Thank you for your concern. You and I are preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination. The time is very tight. If you have nothing to do, don't call..." Before I finished speaking, I hung up there.

I don't know if her phone is out of battery or she is angry.It's better not to talk to me, I just don't want to be disturbed by people, and I keep my distance from people I don't know and people who have no relationship or friendship foundation.I used to think that the more people you know, the better, and the more friends you have, the more powerful you are, but later found that this is not the case. Most of the people you meet can’t be regarded as friends, they are just random people. It is a waste of life to know too many such people.My current outlook on life is: reading one more book a week is more beneficial to me than seeing one more stranger.

For Qiao Qiao, my attitude is: stop here, no need to make friends.In consideration of her good looks, even a little time and life are wasted, so next time I call or meet again, it’s not too much to have a few words. If I don’t have this consideration, I can simply forget her. I have been reviewing at home in the way I am used to.Until one day I saw the "Beijing Evening News", which said that the postgraduate entrance examination army is going all out to enter the preparation stage. Many candidates from other places have already entered Beijing and participated in various remedial classes.

After reading it, I was shocked. I am most afraid of such a person. Doing anything is like risking my life. I like to let nature take its course.But since the opponents are like this, I can't be indifferent, I have to take action. The books that should be bought are almost complete, and the only thing left is to attend the tutoring class.Whether these classes are helpful to candidates is hard to say.Some people pass the exam without taking it, and some people fail the exam even if they take three classes.Its effect is not directly on the mastery of knowledge, but more psychologically, just like Viagra is to men——I always think that this drug acts on psychology rather than physiology. If you eat chocolate beans as Viagra If you keep going, maybe the effect will be better --- if you don't participate in the remedial class, you will lack confidence, just like an impotence patient who knows that he has a problem, the more he thinks that he is not good, the more he will not be able to do it.And if you have taken all the remedial classes, you cannot be said to be the strongest, but at least you are the most confident.

After thinking about it, I still decided to go in, just to give myself an explanation, and I have no regrets about failing. In order not to become the denominator of the success rate of the postgraduate entrance examination, I called Qiao Qiao: "Is it still too late to sign up?" 17 Qiao Qiao and I signed up for the postgraduate entrance examination class. In the postgraduate entrance examination class, there is a teacher who is famous, and his name can be seen on the posters of many remedial classes to attract business, claiming that the hit rate of betting questions is 80%, just like a commercial movie invited to hit the blockbusters star.He first made a self-introduction and revealed the reason for the accurate betting of the question: he lived in the opposite door to the teacher who made the question, and he had a better understanding of the temperament of the teacher who made the question, and he knew the topics that the other party cared about, which was often the direction of the question, and Every time before a question is set, he will go to the teacher who found the question to drink, try to get him down, so that he can get some inside stories, and often let his wife and the wife of the teacher who made the question go to the mall together, ask each other My husband always talks about politics in his sleep when he sleeps. In addition, his study is separated from the study of the teacher who wrote the question. The teacher has the habit of reading aloud every time he writes a question. The partition wall has ears, and the opposite door is eavesdropping with a stethoscope on the wall, and then summarizing the news heard from various channels, which is almost like an exam paper.

With such a statement, applause was naturally indispensable. The students thought that they had met the savior and that they were hopeful of passing the exam.But the following lectures disappointed everyone. Almost every page has key points, and every paragraph needs to be memorized. If this continues, there will be no difference between whether you attend the tutoring class or not. Anyway, everything in the book is drawn, so it’s better to go back to it yourself. home back.We know that what is tested is in the book, but we want to know what content is not tested in the book. The teacher's answer to this was: "There is no way. The teacher talked a lot to me when he was drinking, and his wife and my wife talked endlessly when we went shopping. I often heard him grow up in the study. Read the textbook paragraph by paragraph, and you must pay attention to any of these information, so everyone should work harder and spend more time memorizing." Immediately, there were countless sighs and complaints from the audience. Fortunately, this teacher has a strong ability to control the scene. Knowing that there is emotion, he started to please the students like a girlfriend. He made a few jokes about Chiang Kai-shek and his wife, which made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere was temporarily relaxed.Every time I talk about a knowledge point, it leads to a joke. This style of teaching is very pleasing to the students, and I gradually become one with the students, without any distance. Amidst the laughter, the get out of class bell rang. 18 One weekend, Qiao Qiao and I went to the bookstore to buy books after the postgraduate entrance examination class. The teacher recommended a copy of "Contemporary World Political Economy" for me to recite.This year is another year of turmoil in the world. Terrorists are rampant. The political situation in the Middle East is unstable. Bin Laden has not yet been arrested. Hold on, the little Japan who deserves to be beaten dares to play tricks on the United Nations, especially the United States, who wants to be the master of the world. How can everyone agree... These things have made a mess of the political and economic situation in the contemporary world. Stable, no need to take the exam, or the world war will start quickly, so what the hell are you going to do? According to the usual habit, Qiaoqiao would go home to have a meal with her brother every weekend, but today she didn't want to go back and insisted on staying with me.This move reminded me of a vulgar question: "If your brother and I both fell into the river, who would you save first?" Qiao Qiao said: "My brother is not as stupid as you, and won't fall into the river." "I'm not that stupid, I mean if, let's say we both slipped and fell in," I said. "Of course it's you." Qiao Qiao said.Hearing that I was complacent, she said again: "Because my brother can swim." "It's as if I can't swim." I said, "If we fell into the vast ocean, which is boundless, let alone your brother, even Zhang Jian would not be able to swim to the shore." Qiao Qiao said: "Zhang Jian can't swim to the end, and I can't. I can't protect myself, and I can't save others by sacrificing myself. Besides, this kind of thing is impossible to happen. Don't ask such vulgar questions, okay? it is good." Qiao Qiao thinks it's good to be vulgar, but I'm afraid she will ask me one day: "If she and Zhou Zhou fall at the same time, who will I save first?" I said: "You don't go back to eat, don't call your brother." Qiao Qiao said: "No, it's not a big deal." I said: "I'm afraid that when we are lingering, your brother will suddenly call and affect our emotions." Qiao Qiao said: "Then I will turn off the phone now." She took out her mobile phone and was about to press it. At this time, a call came. Qiao Qiao looked at the caller ID and said, "My brother, if you are a second late, you won't be able to get in. .” Qiao Qiao answered the phone: "Brother... just finished class... I just don't want to go back... Why not, I'm studying at school... Well, that's it." Then he hung up the phone and said to me, "He has something to do, say Too busy to go home." I said, "Are you busy looking for your sister-in-law?" Qiao Qiao said: "I hope so, I will be liberated in the future." When I entered the bookstore, my heart trembled when I saw the dazzling array of postgraduate entrance examination books, such as "PubMed Politics 1500 Questions", "PubMed English 30-Day Sprint"... visually bombarded me in terms of the number of questions and the time, Seeing that I was dizzy and discouraged, I quickly backed out and waited for Qiao Qiao at the door. I observed the passers-by and found that different people have different walking characteristics.Girls who are in their blooming season walk in public, and they walk a little bit pretentiously. In layman's terms, they all have a little bit of strength——because they are young and feel good about themselves, thinking that everyone is looking at themselves ——Although there is no music on the street, they always make you feel the presence of music when they walk. The legs are not simply swinging back and forth, but also up and down. When the feet land on the ground, they are like chopping down with a kitchen knife. , a bit of a model step.But in the dark place where there are no people, this energy will be vented, just like those fashion stars who don't need makeup to show their haggard true colors at home. But middle-aged and elderly women are different. They pull their shoes and their feet are no more than three centimeters from the ground. He was straight, but because he caught up with natural disasters when he was growing up, and he didn't pay attention to calcium supplementation when he was an adult, so as he grew older, his body shape gradually changed from an exclamation point to a question mark. Developed in the direction of the full stop.They also bear the eyes of everyone on their shoulders. When the driver sees them from a long distance, he slows down and tries to avoid them, for fear of causing trouble. If they fall, it will be terrible, or don't let her get up The old man’s eyes are fixed on them, like a scout, to see which one has the potential for development. The Yangko team is short of people and needs new forces to join, but because of old eyesight, he often misses them. Pulling the old lady who walks smoothly into the team and performing Yangko, the old man who plays the drum always thinks that his drum beat is wrong.
