Chapter 11 Chapter Ten "New Century College Entrance Examination Manifesto": "There will be no exams in China in the coming year!"

"Dang, Dang-dang!" The sound of the bell is a symbol of six billion people around the world celebrating the arrival of the new millennium. "Dang, Dangdang——!" This bell is a symbol of the Chinese welcoming the first year of the dragon in the new millennium. Those of us alive today are blessed to be witnesses across the millennium.My book was written on such a day, and it followed me through the century-long celebration woven by firecrackers and singing. I noticed that at the turn of the century, an unprecedented world war was quietly taking place in the world. China was one of the participating countries, and it was particularly active and active.

This is a war without gunpowder.Its weapons are "knowledge books" and the Internet, not atomic bombs and tanks. Needless to say, our opponent is the world's number one on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.However, the Americans did not have to use airplanes, cannons and lightning tactics to fight against us this time, as Hitler did to the Soviet Union during World War II. Instead, they came to us with a smile and a gift: The leading Intel Corporation and Microsoft Corporation, the world's largest computer network overlord, have invested 500 million U.S. dollars in a "future education plan" aimed at training front-line teachers in 20 developing countries around the world, including China.The general content of this plan is to spend 1,000 days training 400,000 front-line teachers.The "strategists" behind this massive program make it clear that the purpose of the "plan" is to "prepare today's teachers and students for tomorrow's demands."What is tomorrow?When Zhou Hongqi, the general agent of Intel Corporation in China's education affairs, held a box full of US dollars and shouted excitedly, "The amount of funds is astonishing", I don't know if everyone understands an iron fact: the Chinese nation has reached the "most dangerous moment"! The world war of the 21st century has actually quietly begun...

This is a war unlike any that has been fought in any previous period of history.American strategists have been preparing for this war since the end of World War II in the middle of the 20th century.When they entered the fascist lair of Berlin together with the Soviet Union, the Soviets were busy removing the machinery and equipment left by Hitler, and the Americans formed a capable organization named "Alsos Commando".The task of this commando is to go to the European battlefield to rescue all kinds of high-level technical personnel, and then safely transport them to the mainland of the United States-among them, German engineers and scientists are the first choice.Facts in the next fifty years have proved that the effectiveness of the Americans’ trick is far more than dozens of times that of the machinery and equipment removed by the Soviets. They encircled and suppressed the world’s first socialist country from the two aspects of science and economy. , and finally achieve the goal of completely defeating and disintegrating it.

Now, the US is concentrating on China.This time the war against China was launched with a smile tactic—no, first of all, the large companies they set up in China “sent” us many high-paying job opportunities, and a considerable number of high-achieving university students were received under their command.When the Americans felt that the Chinese government had adopted the same method to retain the talents they cultivated, they gave another big gift—Microsoft will give each front-line teacher a free Microsoft Office 2000 Professional Edition and ENCARTA encyclopedia. "This is just a small part of Microsoft's commitment to help every school build a networked learning community." Microsoft President Ballmer said: The children of the future and the students who are studying at school today will grow up with the Internet, and the Internet is their The most important part of learning, life and perception, that is, helping today's students and future children to access the Internet, then in the future world, people will never forget Microsoft and Intel, but remember Microsoft and Intel, It is tantamount to remembering America.

Don't you smell the strong smell of war gunpowder already wrapped in the big gift from the Americans?It's just that it is a bit like the "sugar-coated cannonball" Mao Zedong said. When many people confusedly become traitors and victims in this "sugar-coated cannonball", the decision-makers of the Chinese government are sober. Take a look at the educational reforms that we have recently introduced that correspond to the American strategy of seizing talents. Measures, there will be a kind of comfort—— Large-scale college enrollment expansion; The renovation of old teaching materials and old majors;

Separation of teaching and logistics; The college entrance examination will be implemented in spring and summer; Strengthen the ideological and moral education of young students... Don't underestimate these measures, they don't come easily.We still remember that on the 100th anniversary of the founding of Peking University the year before last, many insightful people in China lamented that China's education, which has been struggling to reform, is the "last bastion" of China's reform.The fortress was originally the most difficult to break through, and it was even more difficult to break through its final core.

However, we finally heard from the Minister of Female Education the announcement of a major educational reform measure that shook the mountains and rivers. We are excited to see that the "last bastion" that hinders the progress of Chinese history is frequently showing hope in the face of sharp knives. starlight... This is how history should stride forward! Of course, striding forward does not mean that our steps are disordered and blind.A national condition that is difficult to reverse will lie in front of us for a long time, which is the large population, relatively backward economy and outdated system with Chinese characteristics.And these "characteristics" are reflected in education issues, that is, the gates of our universities are still overcrowded, and the large number of knowledge seekers outside the gates are always multiples of the number of people who are lucky enough to enter the gates; I have to give up my student status for tuition fees; I still have no job to find after studying hard for three to five years after entering the university, or I don’t use my studies at all; etc., etc.

As a result, many new and old problems have been placed in front of us again—— "Going to university is of course the only choice for our generation!" In a key middle school, I asked forty-five high school students in a class to raise their hands to express their opinions on this issue. In the end, there were a total of forty-four students. Raise your hand and answer in the affirmative.One girl didn't raise her hand. Later I asked her what she was thinking, and she said: Of course I also think that going to college is the best choice in my life, but because my grades are not as good as everyone else's, I dare not raise my hand.She said that her classmates are definitely different from what she thought. "They all have good grades, and according to our school's previous college entrance examination admission rate, they all have hope to be admitted to college. For them, college entrance examination is of course the only s Choice."

I finally understood: Those kids who are capable and good grades are going to college as their only life choice, and those kids who are not so good feel that going to college as the only choice may be their own way out, so I prepared The second and third options.There is also a class of children who know that they will not be admitted to college at all, so they have not put the coordinates of life on the college entrance examination from the beginning-this is a kind of complete abandonment.It can be seen that, except for the complete abandoners, the students and their parents all over the world put the first choice of fate on the college entrance examination.

This is the unique life coordinate system of the Chinese.This coordinate system is determined by the traditional ideology of "scholarly excellence leads to officialdom", more is the pressure of survival and employment in modern society, and of course it also includes certain ideas and pursuits. Someone convinced me, don't listen to nonsense, in fact, all the students who enter high school and their parents, there is no one who does not want to go to college unless they are unable to do so or have other reasons. Even so, everyone is determined. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will redouble their efforts to fulfill their determination to realize the university dream deep in their hearts.It is also this kind of pursuit of going to college that surges from the bottom of the bone and soul, which really makes China's college entrance examination more intense.

I have reasons to believe in such an analysis and judgment, and I also have reasons to believe that this kind of pursuit by the Chinese is of great value in itself, and it is its existence that makes our university extremely sacred and solemn. However, while hearing this voice, I heard another voice called "challenging Chinese universities".This was jointly issued by our colleagues, Mr. Zhao Changtian, vice chairman of the Shanghai Writers Association, and editor-in-chief of "Sprout" magazine, and his son Zhao Yan and his son. The "New Concept Composition Contest" presided over by Zhao Changtian became popular all over the country in 1999.This is not an ordinary composition competition, but a competition that enables the winning writers to directly enter Peking University, the highest institution in China!Can you enter Peking University with only one composition?This makes the "Challenge the College Entrance Examination" composition contest led by "Sprout" magazine particularly eye-catching.The problem is not only that, just when many parents and students became very interested in the composition competition for entering Peking University without taking exams, the editor-in-chief Zhao Changtian "telled by example" brought his son's growth experience to the foreground, loudly proposing " Why do I have to go to college?" question.At a time when the people of the whole country are eager to invest more than 30% of their family savings in their children's education, and the country is making great efforts to expand university enrollment, the cry of Zhao Changtian and his son can't but be said to be deafening. Zhao Tianchang's son, Zhao Yan, attended the No. 1 Middle School Attached to East China Normal University, a real key middle school in the city. Zhao Yan's parents were both top students in this middle school, but his son's grades were never better than the bottom ten before the third year of junior high school. name.In the third year of junior high school, Zhao Yan began to know how to work hard. After doing homework every day until midnight, his grades improved significantly. In the "senior entrance examination", he was only one point short of being able to directly enter the high school of the school.According to the identity of his father Zhao Tianchang, it should not be a problem to pay a small amount of money to enter a key high school. In Shanghai, a city with the highest admission rate of the college entrance examination, it is absolutely not a problem to enter a key high school and then go to university.However, when the problem came to Zhao and his son, it turned into a different situation: "Dad, I don't want to go to university anymore, so..." "So you don't even want to go to high school?" "Well, do you agree?" Zhao Yan put the problem on his father's side.If another father heard such words, he would not be furious, or he might have punched him, but Zhao Changtian didn't. After thinking for a while, he answered his son seriously: "I respect your own choice." The son was very surprised at the time, but quickly and confidently nodded gratefully to his father.No one knows his father better than a son, his father is a sensible person, and it is precisely because Zhao Yan knows this well that he dares to "speech nonsense" to his father. "What, how can Nong let his son not want to go to college?" Like the people all over China, Zhao Yan himself decided not to go to college, but his classmates and teachers did not respond. Zhao Changtian, one of the leaders of the Writers Association, was strongly opposed and condemned by many colleagues and friends at that time. "In any case, as long as there is a little hope, you still have to take the university entrance exam. Besides, it's the 21st century. If you don't go to university, you won't have the entry ticket to enter the new century. If you are a parent, you are not responsible for your children. He is in charge? Don't follow the child..." Zhao Changtian was really under a lot of pressure at that time, but he actually withstood it. "I just don't like going to high school. In junior high school, I have to study and do problems every day until after 12 o'clock in the night. What should I do when I get to high school? Why don't I stay up every day? So I don't want to read such books." Son Zhao Yan said. "My thought at the time was, if you are willing to go to university, of course we support it as parents, but you don't have this desire, and you feel that you don't want to suffer from three years of high school problems, so you can do whatever you like! My son was sixteen at the time. At this age, I think he should have the ability and right to choose." Zhao Changtian said. The reason why this father and son have attracted people's attention is because the son's changes after he did not go to college. In the father's words, "I am very happy", and he does not have to worry about his children's homework and grades like other parents. Busy; you don’t have to go to school again and again to attend parent meetings to accept “war mobilization” like other parents; you don’t have to have a heart attack like other parents facing the possible success or failure of their son’s college entrance examination.What made Zhao Changtian happiest was that his son not only got rid of many problems later, for example, he expanded from just loving martial arts novels to being a Chinese class representative in a technical secondary school, and his academic performance rose from the bottom ten to the top ten; The stuttering when seeing strangers are timid is gone, and I have become the "leader" of the literary club.The customs major that his son studied made it easy for him to find a job after graduation. In the past two years of work practice, he also showed a happy mood and positive efforts. "What's your biggest request to Dad?" "He was there for me when I needed him most." When he was doing a program on the radio, his son answered the host like this, and Zhao Changtian was "very, very happy" after hearing it.For this reason, Zhao Changtian has his own general theory on the current college entrance examination style: "It is an improvement to pay attention to the college entrance examination now compared to the heroes with blank papers during the 'Cultural Revolution'. If you want to study, go one step further, but you must allow and respect individuals. Choose the path that suits you, and no one should be discriminated against." Allowing and respecting personal choices - is this too important for thousands of parents in China today?Is it too worth educating and encouraging students and teachers to make up this lesson? Where is the progress of human civilization?Science and knowledge are of course important and obvious signs, but as far as individuals are concerned, is it more important to reflect the extent to which one's rights and ideas are truly respected by society and others?However, look at how our current parents and teachers treat their children and students: if you fail to enter the university, you are worse than a pig or a dog!You are the stupidest and stupidest person in the world, you can only sweep the streets if you can't get into university in the future!There are worse words than this.So from the first day of entering elementary school, under the indoctrination of parents and teachers, the children know that not going to college means that they are "stupid as pigs and dogs", and they can only go to "stupid" in the future. Sweep the streets."So they voluntarily become examination machines, and voluntarily give up the right to choose their own destiny that should belong to them and should be respected. This is today's Chinese students, the children who grow up in most of our families. The ten years of the "Cultural Revolution" turned countless people, including myself, into a "delayed generation". This is the result of a political disaster that everyone hates, and it is extremely rare in the course of thousands of years of history. It is more or less "irresistible".However, does the waving of the baton of today's college entrance examination lead to another cruel form, forcing our children to become "a generation deprived of the right to choose individuals"? Can anyone answer this question? Who can disagree with this conclusion? The general situation is that children have become numb. Even if they vaguely know about their own rights, they don't want to speak out because of the hard work of their parents.It's not that there are no children who stand up to their father like Zhao Yan and express their heart, but in reality there are too few such things. Zhao Yan dares to say that it is because his father understands him and respects and supports his son's right to choose.If it were a different father or mother, Zhao Yan's ending might not be the reality that he is happy now. When I was interviewing a certain school, I knew that there was a student who failed the exam the year before last because he didn’t want to take the college entrance examination. After he came home, his father beat him severely, and then told his son: It’s okay not to take the college entrance examination. At home, you're going to die, or you'll get out of here. The son wanted to cry, but it was useless to beg his father to respect his choice of becoming a photographer. In the end, the son had to close the door and cut his wrists... "In the past ten years, there have been many incidents in our school where we were forced to leave by our parents because we did not take the university entrance exam. Our teachers are under great pressure. Think about it, if we don't help our children to enter the university, once something goes wrong, Didn’t we teachers also become indirect killers?” A teacher from this school said to me with a dark face. When interviewing such "college entrance examination reports", I always feel the most painful. In fact, everyone knows this truth: society is made up of all kinds of people, and college students or intellectuals are the spire of a society. Without a tower base and a tower base, it is impossible to form a complete tower. But the problem is that the "knowledge book" era and the diploma society have forced everyone to forget these principles. The usual laborers are honorable, with three hundred and sixty lines. Someone came out and shouted a few words. In the remaining 364 days, all we heard and saw were nouns such as "zhiben" and Internet, as well as "zhiben" and Internet nouns. Sweet dreams and garlands of wealth. "Knowledge" and the Internet are definitely the most important things in the new century we have entered, but it should be pointed out that in a developing country like China, the number of universities is still very limited. It will rise from about 9% now to about 15%, and there are still about 85% of school-age young people who cannot enter the "long gate" of university. Excessive emphasis on everyone's entrance to university will obviously only make more Many people were buried and died in front of the "Longmen" with a limited width.The most important thing is that we will find that even in a country with a large education like the United States, people who do not choose to go to college still account for the majority.Don't we have a lot of people who want to be "Bill Gates II" crazily now?I don’t know who has mentioned that Bill Gates, a computer genius, also gave up college halfway and chose his favorite career! There is definitely nothing wrong with wanting to go to college.But it is absolutely not wrong to choose the path of personal success wisely, and the benefits are bound to be more considerable. At the beginning of the new century, we should vigorously promote one thing among the people of our country: let children have the right to choose their own life path. "Knowledge" and the Internet are very important, but a diploma obtained by doing exam questions like an exam machine cannot really enter the "knowledge" class and the Internet world. In the new century, perhaps nothing is more important than respecting individual choices and wishes, because it is more in line with the connotation of the civilization process and more embodies the characteristics of individual creation. "Of course it's good to be admitted to university." This is also an answer that does not need to be questioned. But what makes us question is how much of the Chinese people's "good" in "of course it is good to be admitted to a university" can enable a person to embody actual value in the long struggle of life in the future, and make a difference in our nation. Something that highlights one's own ability and embodies the will of the nation's spirit when it competes with the world's great powers? Of course, it is good to be admitted to a university. Fortunately, you have a diploma to find a job; fortunately, you can be recognized as an intellectual in the living space of society; fortunately, you have food and a future. Chinese people have always paid attention to affordable prices. In the past few years, many people did not go to high school to take the technical secondary school entrance examination, because they could find a job directly after graduating from technical secondary school.The emergence of university graduates who do not include distribution after graduation, people began to go straight to the academic examinations for undergraduates and above. In the past three years, the postgraduate examinations have been in full swing, and the number of people has increased by hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands every year. Finally this day has come again: it is still useless after being admitted to university! Some people say that the current university is the biggest misunderstanding in life. This may sound a bit harsh, but it can be said to hit the nail on the head.Two types of majors are the most attractive in today's universities. The first type is popular majors, such as finance, foreign languages, trade, law, economic management, etc. It makes students who are already very good to squeeze into these majors until they are crowded. It was so full that it couldn't be more full - but the university gate not only did not impose restrictions on this, but instead tried to expand the enrollment quota of these majors.Finally, a few years later, when the students walked out of the school with these professional bachelor's, master's and even doctorate diplomas full of joy, they found that the world should not have allowed him to choose his major.Take a look at the accounting schools opened all over the streets in the past few years. How many girls have become accounting masters in financial management overnight. As a result, how can there be so many companies and units in the world?In the end, he had to go home and become the "Minister of Finance".The current phenomenon of running a university is very similar to the accounting class war in previous years.The school doesn't care whether you have more lawyers or more bankers in the future, what they think now is that they can charge tens of thousands more for each student who recruits popular majors!The second category is unpopular majors. The so-called unpopular majors are those subjects left over from the planned economy that are of no use in society today.Someone asked why these useless majors were not thrown out of the current universities earlier?There is a lot of knowledge here, because everyone knows that they should throw it, but no one takes the real action. The mystery that outsiders don't know is that this useless major can just satisfy those who want to go to college but don't do well in the exam, or don't know how to do it at all. Those who did not pass the exam but are obsessed with college and their parents.Many of these people are children from remote mountainous areas and poor families, and of course some are purely rich but low IQ children.The latter is simply buying a chance to go to university with money, while the former often chooses majors that no one wants to go to because of the poor foundation of local schools and the high tuition fees that their families cannot afford.They entered engineering, but the day they entered the university, it meant that their good luck was over.A proud college student who has studied hard for four years, the diploma he gets after four years is equivalent to an outdated almanac.Begging hard, searching hard, still no one is willing to accept.Such college students will never be able to find their own corresponding jobs, and can only fall into the ranks of the "advanced blind stream". Most of the resulting fate is very miserable.For these people, not only is it useless to be admitted to university, it is even a disaster for life. During the hot days of the college entrance examination in July of a certain year, someone found a dead body in a pond in the Old Summer Palace in Beijing.It was verified that it was a male corpse, about twenty-six years old.The identity of the deceased is unknown. Finally, a suicide note was found in his clothes. Only then did he know that he was a university graduate who came out of "Tsinghua Garden". His death was not complicated. Although it was suicide, it had nothing to do with the school. vagrant, but his suicide note is thought-provoking: ... I used to be a "champion scholar" who made tens of thousands of people in my hometown proud!In order to let me go to college, my parents poured out almost all of the family, and I also worked hard.The undergraduate major I applied for was agricultural mechanization. After I graduated from four years of hard work, I wanted to find a job as soon as possible to repay my parents for sending me to college, but I was disappointed. diploma to apply for a job.I also went back to my hometown, trying to find my way out in the "vast rural world", but people in my hometown told me: as early as more than ten years ago, the land was contracted to each household, so who still uses agricultural machinery?Later, I vowed to work hard to get a graduate degree. Isn’t it said that graduate students are easy to find a job?So I studied while working part-time, and after two full years, I had a day without a meal.The hard work paid off, and I was finally admitted to the most famous university in China next to the Old Summer Palace. From then on, I thought that I would never have the kind of life where there was no last meal.But I was wrong again this time. When I applied for a job with a master's degree full of ambition a few years later, they looked at my major and sneered at me with disdain: You are a master's degree, not as good as a businessman. Technical secondary school, no matter whether it is a rural area or an urban area, who still engages in agricultural mechanization?It was a popular major when Chairman Mao "learned from Dazhai in agriculture". Now it is the Internet age, no agricultural machinery is used on the Internet, only the mouse is used.Yes, now is the era when the "mouse" is king. Isn't it superfluous for me, a master of agricultural machinery, to live in this world?I have no choice. If I hadn’t taken the college entrance examination in the third year of high school, maybe today I would still be a member of the southern wage earners. Every year at the end of the year, I can proudly send some money back to the old parents at home. However, now I have nothing but Nothing but a master's degree.It is impossible for me to go back to the choice I made in middle school. People who have studied in college can only go forward, but what is ahead of me?I can't see, I can only see the sky and the moon in the lake water of Yuanmingyuan... Like the helpless choice of this master student, we hear several cases every year in Beijing. It is said that there are more than 50,000 to 60,000 college graduates who are stranded in Beijing. They have no proper job, no fixed income, and no stability. Home, only a college diploma in their hands belongs to them... "Of course the college entrance examination will be canceled in the coming year!" This is a new and unquestionable answer. The author believes that it is due to the following reasons: First of all, the current college entrance examination system has entered the stage that must be changed. "Dead exam questions and dead exam questions" are the most serious bad and persistent problems that have existed in the college entrance examination for the past two decades.This has not only been strongly criticized by countless people of insight, but even Professor Zha of Hubei University, who called for the resumption of the college entrance examination in front of Deng Xiaoping, thought so: If I see the current college entrance examination, I would rather not advocate college admissions and conduct examinations.Professor Cha obviously can't tolerate the development of the college entrance examination he advocated back then, which has changed completely today! "Knowledge is tested to death, and knowledge is tested to death", such a problem has existed since ancient times, and it seems to be the patent of Chinese education experts. To put it mildly, it is a "feature".Chinese teachers are worthy of respect, but the officials who lead them should reflect on it, because it is the thousands of years of this unchanging examination mode that has completely wiped out the inherent intelligence and wisdom of the Chinese people. Apart from possessing knowledge better than others, each head always lacks creativity and vitality.This is one of the conclusions that such an examination should have ended long ago. The second is the development direction of ability and quality assessment, which determines the death penalty of the current college entrance examination.If counting from the resumption of the college entrance examination in 1977, in the past 23 years, there have been many "college entrance examination reforms" in China, but the result of each reform is that the trend of "dead exam questions and dead exam questions" has become more and more intense. .The root cause is that we have never gotten rid of the old model of exam-oriented education, the practice of taking politics, Chinese, mathematics, history, geography, and foreign languages ​​for literature and history majors; politics, Chinese, mathematics, physics, chemistry, foreign languages, and biology for science and engineering majors. The result is that students are gnawed at the limits stipulated in those textbooks.For the so-called "exam work" within the scope stipulated in the textbook, from inside and outside the school, from students to teachers, from families to school buildings, they racked their brains to find difficult problems: solving difficult problems and practicing difficult problems, leading the whole education to a terrible dead end. After the four important measures of college entrance examination reform in 1983, 1987, 1998, and 1999, the education circle finally determined that the future direction of college entrance examination reform is the "3+X" model.The so-called "3+X" means that "3" means Chinese, mathematics, and foreign language are the three subjects that candidates must take. Among the six subjects of history and geography or the comprehensive subjects, one or several test subjects can be decided by oneself; candidates can take the review test according to the subjects determined by the university (major) they wish to apply for.The experts who put forward "3+X" believe that this is the "best plan" that can best reflect the knowledge and ability of students re-established compared with the previous exams. It is a change from the traditional proposition of "knowledge conception" to " Ability and conception" as the main proposition. The "3+X" plan can make us feel the painstaking efforts of education experts, but this plan, which has been determined to be the main plan for the future college entrance examination in my country, has just been released, and immediately received objections from middle school teachers.Li Zewei, the principal of Liujiang Middle School in Guangxi, pointed out sharply: If the "X" in "3+X" is 1 or 2, our middle school teachers can barely deal with it, but if "X" is a comprehensive exam, most of our middle school teachers can't handle it. It is impossible to keep up with this reform plan, because the teaching in middle schools basically revolves around the college entrance examination. Now there is a "3+X" plan. This "3" is easy to handle, but "X" makes it difficult for us below. You Is it more about history or geography?Do you focus on chemistry or physics?You are not sure, are you?In the end, I had no choice but to go back to the old way—as long as I had to instill in my classmates all the professional knowledge that could be obtained in college.Mr. Fan Yun, a teaching and research expert, put forward another question about "3+X": the purpose of 3+X is to increase the application and ability-based questions, so as to test the comprehensive ability level of students. This is good, but the problem is that our middle school education What the front-line teachers hope most is to conduct more tests on the basic knowledge of the students, and the "30X" will definitely cause the college entrance examination and the front-line teaching principles may completely run counter to each other.Listening to the different opinions of middle school teachers and experts on the "3+X" plan makes people very worried that our education reformers may be self-defeating.But regardless of the "30X" or the new form of "high school-university" direct train started in Beijing and Shanghai, the final result of the college entrance examination will develop in the direction of testing students' comprehensive ability, which is inevitable.From this, our conclusion is also clear: One day, the college entrance examination that only relies on the dead knowledge of the test will surely die out! Third, the development of modern science and technology has completely changed the way of education, which determines that the current college entrance examination must be reformed.Just look at yesterday when television replaced our theatres.Cinemas and theaters, and look at the Internet that has already appeared instead of tangible newspapers and shopping malls. It is not difficult to predict that in the next few years, online education and online universities will replace the current model that students must go to school to study; There is no need to go, what is the use of the proctored examination system that must rely on the presence of many people?We might as well imagine: In the future, our education will be mainly based on online education. Schools may only use it when students are interested and need to gather together to discuss a certain topic or need to ask a certain professor face-to-face. You don’t need to be in a hurry to go to university and choose subjects. When you need to choose a major and prepare to enter university, you can tell the school about your needs through the Internet. After processing through the information database, the school will tell you what you should do. How to take this major, or suggest that you should choose another major, because the major you applied for may not be favored by the society in the next few years.The advice provided by the school is free, but it is a very scientific basis obtained after a large amount of information processing; you don’t have to work hard when you want to go to college, memorize a lot of textbooks, and have some professional and personal abilities. In fact, the university you want to apply for has already recorded it for you. They may tell you that you don't need to take the test for some majors, and your comprehensive ability far exceeds the university admission standards.Of course, some abilities are not enough for you, but it doesn’t matter. The school will tell you what method should be adopted to allow you to “reach the standard” within what time. It is a regular class, or a fast class, or a computer appointment class. In short, you will not have any psychological pressure because of the exam. Each exam is actually a pleasant and easy self-examination process for you to check your own ability. .Do you think such a university exam is suitable for you and the society?Does it mean canceling the existing examination system? Fourth, and most importantly, our country is striding forward along the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics guided by Deng Xiaoping. When the country’s economy prospers unprecedentedly and people’s living standards continue to improve, one day our population will get the best When the development scale and setting of colleges and universities become more and more reasonable, and the comprehensive strength of society reaches the level of developed countries, the country will definitely open the door of universities to everyone, and higher education will one day be like today's nine-year compulsory education. All Chinese citizens have the right to accept it. At that time, all the new generations will be happily sent to the university and become a member of the university's Garden of Eden where they can learn knowledge, improve their thinking, and pioneer and innovate.On the day when the Chinese nation will truly rejuvenate, this prospect will inevitably come along with it. The conclusion is very clear: China's college entrance examination will eventually be abolished, which is a goal that we can fully achieve in this century! "What exactly is university? University is the threshold for us to move forward in the third year of high school, and the dead end for us to retreat. What is university? University is the starting point and end point of our college entrance examination. What else can university be?" Among a group of senior three students, I was surprised It is expected that this interpretation of the university is at odds with the answers we usually get from professors and academics, undergraduates and graduate students. In the eyes of high school students, university is a bridgehead. The world over there, of course, is brilliant and terrifying, because only those who walk through the bridgehead can feel its splendor, and only those who fall into the river on the bridgehead It's scary to feel it.Whether it is splendid or terrible, people have a common understanding that university was yesterday a "stepping stone" for people to seek fame and fortune, and today it is a "passport" for gaining social recognition and gaining benefits and status.University is therefore a dream, a dream of happiness that everyone can pursue but does not necessarily come to him.College thus feels distant and empty to some, and to others it feels like a lifelong pursuit. University has endless meanings. 有人说大学是一种文化，它专门熏陶你的修养，脱胎你的旧俗，增进你的智慧，激活你的创新，发掘你的潜力，纯洁你的情爱。 有人说大学是个车间，它专门为你设计模型，为你量体裁衣，为你充电灌油，为你描绘未来，为你启动马达，为你校正航舵，为你发令起跑。 有人说大学是块圣地，它可以使你灵魂得到重塑，理念得到加固，思绪得到梳理，心愿得到还复，散乱得到整形，美丽得到闪耀。 有人说大学是伊甸园，它可以使你内心的爱流畅地挥洒，使你眼里的感觉放飞翅膀的火焰，使你脸上的光彩漾溢梦幻的浪漫，使你脚下的舞步飞旋自由的姿式。 然而大学到底是什么呢？ 我想大学应该在没有了教条，没有了墙院，没有了嘈杂，没有了教室，没有了课本，没有了教鞭，没有了考试，没有了文凭时，才可叫作大学。 大学应该是在人与人不分贫穷与富有，不分状元与笨蛋，不分少年和老人，不分新生和老生，不分应届和往届，不分文科和理科时，大学才是真正的大学。 大学是我们每个人的理想与渴望，是每个人必须接受的阳光与空气，是每个人与生俱来的生命与活力，是每个人活着就该跨越和跳跃的过程与起点…… 大学是属于我们全体人的共同家园和温床。 大学是我们所有男人和女人共同的情人、共同的涅槃。
