Chapter 11 You are not down to earth when you are doing evil things Of course Lu Shan knew that the first diagnostic test in Jiangzhou City would be held the week after next. A diagnostic exam is not as important as attending winter camp. The winter camp exams only last for two mornings, and the rest of the time is for free communication between students and teachers, as well as listening to lectures by mathematics experts from famous domestic universities. This can not only increase knowledge points, but also earn a lot of academic points during communication, which is of course more important than the first diagnosis. Seeing Lu Shan remained silent. Wang Yongxiang asked: "What is the reason for your leave? Why do you want to take leave? Do you want to go out for English tutoring?" After-school tutoring classes do have intensive training sessions when major exams are approaching, and each training session lasts for a week. When Wang Yongxiang asked this, the other teachers in the office turned their heads and looked over. English teacher Zhang also looked at Lu Shan and thought: Could it be that this kid really found an English tutor outside of school?
Teacher Zhang was not feeling very comfortable. Lu Shan told the truth: "The CMO finals winter camp will open at Jiangzhou University next week, and I will go to participate." "Ah!" Teacher Wang said, "Aren't you not going to participate?" Wang Yongxiang was still worried whether Lu Shan had not reached an agreement with Director Liao? Wang Yongxiang got a headache thinking about Lin Yan's rough voice. Lu Shan said: "I didn't take up the school's quota, I used the quota for the after-school tutoring class." Both Wang Yongxiang and Teacher Zhang believed that Lu Shan's family might have spent a lot of money to buy admission to a training class. Wang Yongxiang had also heard more or less that this year's CMO Winter Camp would be held in Jiangzhou, and many training institutions in Jiangzhou had obtained places for the winter camp through various channels. Students can go by paying for a spot, and don’t even have to participate in the National Mathematics League in September to get results. The reason why places in the CMO Winter Camp are so popular is that many schools at home and abroad value it. Students from well-off families can use this as an advantage and use various methods to bypass the college entrance examination and enter undergraduate colleges. Wang Yongxiang knew that if the students’ parents had good relationships with some second- and third-tier schools, they would produce proof of the students’ eligibility to participate in the CMO winter camp. Students whose academic performance is not too bad can be admitted to undergraduate schools in advance in this way, avoiding the risk of poor performance in the college entrance examination or making mistakes in filling out their applications. If the state and education authorities investigate this matter, something bad will happen sooner or later. Wang Yongxiang believed that Lu Shan's family had gone to extremes and had resorted to crooked means to get a spot in the winter camp. He did not know how much money he had spent to buy the qualification for the CMO Winter Camp from an outside training institution. But Lu Shan's family conditions are also very poor, and he has no background. Even if he gets the qualification for the winter camp, does his family have the ability to get some undergraduate college admissions offices to let them recruit Lu Shan to enter without the college entrance examination? And with Lu Shan’s performance, his chances of winning a medal in the CMO finals are not high! Wang Yongxiang then earnestly warned his students, "Lu Shan! It is good for young people to have a spirit of perseverance, but they still need to distinguish between the primary and the secondary." "We still need to be down-to-earth and take our shortcomings seriously. If our English is poor, we should work hard to improve it. We should not take shortcuts, and we must not avoid exams." Teacher Zhang had been listening to the conversation between the two and felt that what Teacher Wang said made sense. He also felt that Lu Shan and his parents were a little panicked and were trying all kinds of methods to save their lives. Teacher Zhang has a straightforward personality and said:
"Lu Shan, even if you are qualified to attend the CMO Winter Camp, do you know that the participants are all the top math students in the country? Can you guarantee that you will win a medal?" "During last year's winter camp, none of the students from Jiangzhou who participated in the competition came back with a medal. Even though your math scores are among the best in the school, it's still difficult to win a medal among the best students in the country!" Wang Yongxiang nodded: "I agree with what Teacher Zhang said." Lu Shan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He just asked for leave, so why did the teacher change the subject? Lu Shan insisted on asking for leave: "Teacher Wang, I still want to take a leave. My parents agree. Here is the leave application with their signatures." Lu Shan knew the school rules. Students' parents must sign when applying for leave, and it must be clearly stated that any accidents that occur during the leave have nothing to do with the school. Seeing that Lu Shan insisted on taking leave and wrote the application very clearly, Wang Yongxiang called Director Liao and agreed to Lu Shan's leave. After Lu Shan left the teacher's office, Wang Yongxiang couldn't help but sigh and shake his head. Teacher Zhang also said: "This child is difficult to teach! At this time, he is still thinking of these crooked ways! Don't come back and ask me to give him special English lessons when the time comes. I can't teach him." Teacher Zhang also complained, "No matter how good Lu Shan's math grades are, he is in Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School. Looking across the country, there are many experts. He is only fifth in the Jiangzhou City competition. I'm afraid he won't even get a medal when the time comes." “Kids nowadays just don’t feel down to earth.” Wang Yongxiang also looked embarrassed. In the classroom of Class 3, Grade 3. After the last class in the afternoon, at Lu Shan's desk, Zhang Yong, Yang Chuan and others did not rush to eat, but listened to Lu Shan's summary of knowledge points in mathematics, physics and other subjects. After Lu Shan finished speaking, he took out a bound book of review questions from his schoolbag. This is a booklet for math and science review that Lu Shan developed in the Singularity Laboratory based on the actual knowledge mastery of different students. The content of each booklet is different. Most of the booklet was handwritten by Lu Shan, and the production was rather crude, but it was very valuable. Lu Shan said: "These booklets are review questions prepared for you. There are not many questions, but each one is very classic." "You must understand it. If you understand it, it won't be a big problem if your test scores increase by 20 or 30 points or even more this time." Zhang Yong and others were very moved after receiving the booklet. "Lu Shan! You are... wasting so much of your time!" There are five people in total who were given booklets. Even though each booklet only has a dozen pages, the total workload of all five books is quite large. Yang Chuan was even more moved. "With so much information, how long did it take you, Lu Shan? What a waste of your time!" Lu Shan smiled, revealing his white teeth. Is it a waste of time? Not really. After all, in the Singularity Lab, as long as your energy can keep up, time seems to be infinite. Lu Shan said: "I took your money, so this is what I should do." Lu Shan handed a booklet to Shen Qian, "These are some big questions. Do them carefully, think about them, and think more about how to solve them." Shen Qian carefully took the booklet handed to her by Lu Shan. The end that Lu Shan was holding still had the residual warmth of his hand.
Shen Qian felt a little guilty that she had wasted Lu Shan's time. Her purpose of joining the study group was to supervise Lu Shan in learning English and improving his English grades. But Lu Shan’s English grades seem to be…still that bad… It's even getting worse. Before, Lu Shan spoke some English words with a strong Jiangcheng County accent, and Shen Qian could barely understand him. But now, no one knows where Lu Shan's English has an accent, and Shen Qian can't understand him anymore. "I have to take a week off next week, so I won't be able to give you a lecture." Lu Shan said, "See you at the first exam!" I beg you all not to stay there and read together, I need to catch up!! Thanks to "1 God 1", "Reader 2146" for their monthly tickets and everyone's recommendation tickets! (End of this chapter)
