Chapter 2 Countless Data
"It doesn't matter if you don't take the college entrance exam." Rui's mother thought her son was pretending to be strong, and tears of distress were about to fall.
Yang Rui shook his head vigorously. He was a fat man in his previous life, and a fat man who didn't like sports and gained flesh. He let him walk in a straight line every day, one, two, one, that's no different from killing him. The laziness in his bones has penetrated into his soul, and it's the same no matter where he goes.
"Mom, stop talking. I must take the college entrance examination. If I can't even pass the college entrance examination, what else can I do in the future? Get up wherever I fall. From today on, I will study hard, strive to get good grades, and contribute to the construction of the four modernizations of the motherland!" Yang Rui was anxious and instinctively called out "Mom", and did not forget to search for two slogans from his memory.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Teacher Lu, who was standing next to him with deep eyes, applauded and said in agreement: "Well said!"
Yang Rui's mother was also stunned by her son's words. She was just a baby son. She was so pampered by her childhood. She still called Xiaobao after she grew up. She didn't expect that her young son would say such powerful words. She was surprised and immediately became happy again. In her opinion, her son was capable and would have a future sooner or later.
"I am ambitious, my mom supports you. You can study hard. If you can't get into the exam for two years, and if you can't get into the exam for three years, I'll talk about your dad."
Yang Rui rolled his eyelids and thought to himself: If you ask me to take the doctorate exam now, I might be a little weak. If I ask me to take the college entrance examination, that's not enough.
Not to mention the admission rate of 4%, he doesn't take it seriously even if it is a four-percent admission rate. Yang Rui, a biology research monk, naturally cannot be just a biology teacher when he goes to a cram school. In order to make more money, he is a math teacher when he opens a math basic class in the cram school, he is a math teacher when he opens a physics improvement class in the school, and he is a physics teacher when he opens a chemistry summer class. It is also after this kind of experience that he has the confidence to start his own business.
The scope of the college entrance examination is so large. It can be said that except for political review, Yang Rui can go directly to the examination room.
However, Rui's mother's statement was also approved by Teacher Lu: "Yang Rui is very smart, but he is not focused enough. It is still very promising to study for another year this year. If he makes up his mind and takes one or two years of hard work, it will not be difficult to get an undergraduate degree."
Yang Rui smiled bitterly, feeling that her ex-boyfriend would only have the fate of a junior college or a technical secondary school student for another year. However, it is common for students to repeat the study for two or three years at this time.
Rui's mother was very happy to hear Teacher Lu's words and immediately began to thank and praise Teacher Lu.
The two quickly entered a cycle of praise and thanks.
...
The next day.
Yang Rui woke up very early and looked at the ceiling with his eyes open.
The environment in the dormitory is very bad. Two rows of ten-person bunk beds are all the belongings in this bungalow. Although many students go home after the college entrance examination, many students like Yang Rui will continue to attend the "return class", which is a common repeat class in later generations.
Because the admission rate for the college entrance examination is extremely low, except for students who are not ready to study again, most students have to go to school for two or three years before they can get into college, or choose to give up completely.
Therefore, the return class is often more people than the new class.
The dormitory is naturally even more crowded.
However, Yang Rui couldn't sleep, not because the kang was too hard or the straw pillow was too tiring, but because his head was filled with too many words and pictures.
Plants, animals, cytology, genetics... The words that Yang Rui said when he was a research monk jumped into his mind one by one.
What surprised him even more was that with the emergence of these words, books he had read appeared in his mind, such as the third edition of "Genetics", the second edition of "Genetics", the second edition of "Genetics", the third edition of "Genetics", the third edition of "Genetics", the third edition of "Genetics", the second edition of "Medical Genetics", and the third edition of "Principles of Genetics" of higher education...
Yang Rui felt as if he had memorized the contents. As long as he thought about it, he could remember the original sentences of the long paragraphs.
And he was sure that he had just read through most of the books in it.
Try to think back to other books, even complicated college entrance examination exercise booklets, and the same is true.
What's even more exaggerated is that the student homework he had corrected can be recalled.
In just a few minutes, Yang Rui re-readed the books he had read the most during his postgraduate study.
"This is the rhythm that makes me a top student for the rest of my life..." Thinking of so many classic papers and books that have not been published yet, Yang Rui himself was stunned.
About six o'clock.
The classmates in the dormitory got up one by one.
Some of them took books outside to recite, some sat near the door and window to do the exam with a sad face, and some wrote with a silly smile.
Yang Rui couldn't lie down anymore, put on his clothes and went out, and then shivered by the cold wind.
"Don't catch a cold again, kid." A student stretched out his head from the cracks between the two broken door panels on the side wall, grabbed Yang Rui and asked, "Have you recovered from the illness?"
"Okay." Yang Rui glanced at him and immediately remembered his name: Wang Guohua is a very common naming idea in this era.
In my impression, he had been in the same dormitory with Yang Rui a long time ago, and he was also a good deskmate. This time, both of them failed the college entrance examination.
On the surface, Wang Guohua seemed not affected by the failure of the exam. His thin cheeks were smiling and said, "The west wall is full of people. If you want to read books, it is better to stay here, the wind is small."
He lifted a broken door panel and let Yang Rui squeeze in.
Yang Rui hesitated for a moment, got in, and nodded immediately, "It really blocked the wind. What are you looking at?"
Wang Guohua gave him the notebook in his hand and smiled embarrassedly: "I basically didn't get the trigonometric function score in this exam. I don't want to learn it again. Alas, what's the point of these symbols going over and over?"
Yang Rui looked at his notebook curiously.
I saw that the ordinary 32-open white papers were filled with questions and knowledge points in small characters. Although the classification was not very detailed, it was also quite good.
Although I could already buy reference books in 1982, the quantity and variety were scarce, and the price was not cheap compared to the income of ordinary people. Ordinary middle-level cadres and families could not apply the tactics of question seas. Wang Guohua's father was the director of the Xibao Town Post Office and a department-level cadre. In terms of administrative level, he was an ordinary clerk who was younger than the deputy section chief. He had three children in his family, so he naturally saved as much as possible.
For students in township middle schools, it is almost natural to copy the questions.
Yang Rui flipped through his notebook and said habitually: "Trigonomic functions are sometimes really dizzy, but as long as you understand the cosine coscillation, it is easy to do the questions."
Wang Guohua said with a "huh" and said, "Oh, you guy, why are you doing it? Have you figured it out?"
Yang Rui was stunned and said, "I figured it out."
He is a gold medal tutor. If he can't even understand such basic knowledge points, how can he make a living?
Wang Guohua didn't believe it: "You only scored more than 20 points in mathematics. Could it be that you got it all on trigonometric functions?"
Mathematics is a big tiger, and many students in the village have an average score of not even twenty. Especially those who have only started studying in recent years, if they don’t make up for it from elementary school, it will be difficult to see the binary equation. Alibaba’s Jack Ma once took the college entrance examination in 1982 and scored 19 points.
Yang Rui touched his chin and thought for a while. Seeing that no other students could hear the conversation between the two, he said, "I was frightened during the exam and forgot all the things I memorized before the exam. However, I really know a few special methods."
"Don't believe it." Wang Guohua was very honest.
Yang Rui also smiled and said, "Then I will tell you what I have learned?"
"Let's listen." Wang Guohua felt a little more energetic. In the past few years, the atmosphere of students learning from each other was very strong, because there were very few high-level teachers, so they could only ask about the news and help each other.
"This is called hexagon memory method. You draw a hexagon first..." Yang Rui took Wang Guohua's pen and wrote it while writing: "Starting from the corner on the upper left, write private n, cos, cot in turn... Then, there is such a rule. Look, I will tell you, first, the two trigonometric functions connected by diagonal lines are the penultimate of each vertex. Second, the trigonometric function value of each vertex is equal to the product of two adjacent two, for example, cos is equal to private n times cot..."
After hearing a few words, Wang Guohua's eyes widened.
This summary memory method, not to mention that there was no such method of transmission in the 1980s, even if it had or had sufficient channels of transmission.
It has only been only five or six years since the resumption of the college entrance examination. Not to mention that the students cannot figure out the tricks, the teachers are confused. What to take, how to take, what to teach, how to teach? No one can explain clearly, so that local education bureaus have to organize teaching groups to pick up some more clearly, and then re-educate teachers from all over the country.
If we look at the standards of later generations, only a few key middle schools in major cities and educational centers can reach the average level in all teaching subjects. As for township middle schools like Xibao Middle School, they rely on secondary school students and high school students who graduated in the early years to teach. The highest-level one was a third-year high school graduate. Because he was married, he had to give up further studies and stay in the school after failing the college entrance examination in 1977 and 1978.
Using high school graduates to teach high school students is a very common scene in township and factory middle schools in this era. As for the effect, only God knows.
Wang Guohua listened to Yang Rui's explanation hungrily. In his heart, the so-called "hexagonal memory method" was already a secret existence.
It's so amazing.
Wang Guohua tried hard to take notes, wishing to write down every word Yang Rui said.
