Chapter 13 Graduation Exam
May 10, 2053.
Compulsory education is about to come to an end. This is a release and a new beginning for many students. They are both excited and confused.
Although the college entrance examination is cancelled now, it is no longer the situation where thousands of troops cross a single-plank bridge, but the graduation examination is also highly valued by people. After ten years of hard work, the winner will be decided today. Can students not pay attention to it?
This exam determines the future choice. If you take the exam well, you will have more choices. If you don’t take the exam well, you may have to work hard in society.
Although working hard in society is not a bad thing for students, many parents continue their thoughts before 2012, believing that if the graduation exam is not good, they will not be able to get into college and will easily be eliminated by society.
Before the graduation exam, parents have relatively tight requirements for their children, hoping that their children can stand out and hope that their children will succeed. This is a tradition of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. It is difficult to change the deep-rooted ideological education.
Of course, it’s useless to hope your child will be successful.
"With my current grades, graduation from compulsory education is no problem." Xiao Fan was full of confidence.
—————
The graduation exam is scheduled for mid-May.
On that day, Xiao Fan got up early, prepared everything, carried his schoolbag and ran towards the examination room. The other children came to the examination room with their parents' company, and he was the only one who went there.
My parents are busy making money. Without time, Xiao Fan feels a little disappointed. After all, this is a big event in his life. No matter what the result is, relatives should always be shared by his side, so that he will always feel happy.
There are nearly 100 middle schools in Chang'an District. Xiao Fan was arranged to take the 79 Middle School entrance exam. He is quite far away from home and has to take the subway for half an hour to arrive.
There are only two types of transportation nowadays, subways and trams, and there are no more vehicles like taxis, because the electricity price is too high and all vehicles use electricity, so taxis cannot make enough electricity bills.
Compared with trams, choosing a subway is the most cost-effective.
When he went out in the morning, his mother Zhang Lanying gave him some money and stuffed the eggs and milk cooked the night before in his schoolbag. His parents were reluctant to eat them on weekdays, so they supplemented nutrition for their younger brothers and sisters, because Xiao Fan was going to take the exam today, and his parents felt sorry for him and brought them with him.
"Mom has enough, how much can I eat!" Xiao Fan saw that his schoolbag was bulging.
"This child is so big, how can I eat that little bit? Don't worry, I'll keep it for Xiaobei and Xiangxiang." Mom said with a smile.
"I know, I'm leaving." Xiao Fan carried his schoolbag and walked towards the door.
"Be careful on the road, walk more and pay attention to the car, and don't put too much pressure on yourself." My mother's voice came out of the crack in the door, and she reminded her in every way.
"Brother, come on!" Xiaobei and Xiangxiang also cheered for Xiao Fan again.
"I understand, you have to be good!" Xiao Fan closed the door and ran downstairs like a flying figure.
The subway is very crowded today, and there are long queues waiting at the subway station. Many children walk into the subway station with their parents.
After waiting several times, Xiao Fan squeezed into the car. The car was very crowded, and people were connected without using handrails.
"Come on, kid!"
"Don't worry, mom!"
"My son takes the exam seriously! Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"Xiaobao shows your usual level, we believe in you."
The farewell voice kept wandering in Xiao Fan's ears, and he felt a little disappointed in his heart.

At the entrance of the 79th Middle School, there were crowds of people.
The school gate, which was not big enough, was blocked tightly. It was all the parents of some candidates. A row of security guards holding swords were ready to go. The sharp swords shone with dazzling light in the sun, intimidating tens of thousands of candidates and parents.
Xiao Fan passed through the crowd, came to the inspection site, and used an electronic scanner to scan the fingerprint to determine the identity of the candidate before entering the blockade line.
"Xiao Fan, from No. 83, identity is confirmed, passed." An electronic voice came, Xiao Fan smiled at the inspector and hurriedly walked in.
"Dangdang~~~~~"
A ringtone rang, and all the candidates walked quickly towards the examination room. Xiao Fan also followed the crowd and couldn't help but hold his hands tightly: "I must come on, so many people are waiting for me, I won't let them down."
The exam procedure is basically the same as in 2012. The only difference is that it is not to use paper and pen to answer questions, but to use computers to take the exam. The results will come out as soon as possible and the results will be clear at a glance, so there will be no shady situations.
Each person has a small room, and the preparations are very complete, so you can only spend here in three hours. The computer shows the subjects to be tested. The test questions will appear after the examiner issues an order. There is a monitoring system in the small room. Any subtle movements will be photographed, the signal will be blocked, and there will be no cheating.
"Ding ~~~~~"
Xiao Fan took out his ID card and swished it on the detector, and then a crisp female voice came: "Xiao Fan, from No. 83, has correct identity verification and can take the exam."
As the electronic sound rang out, a line of black words "2053 Voluntary Graduation Examination Liberal Arts Examination Paper" appeared on the computer screen.
"I have basically finished my review of the first liberal arts, so there should be no big problem." Xiao Fan stared at the test paper carefully, waiting for Kaifeng.
There are now two subjects in the examination: science and liberal arts. The liberal arts include Chinese, history, geography, politics, and foreign languages; of course, science is mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, literature, art, and sports.
It should be the same, as literature and sports should be personal hobbies, and it is really far-fetched to count them in the exam.
"Are you ready? The test paper will be opened in three seconds." An electronic sound came, and the countdown began.

"Kaifeng!"
A virtual test paper was unfolded on the computer, and rows of questions appeared on it. Xiao Fan glanced over and almost all of them were reviewed, which was not very difficult.
"Don't be careless. Even if it's not difficult, you have to take it seriously. Many people lose points on the test questions they are most familiar with." Xiao Fan reminded himself in his heart that the teacher said these words to them many times.
"breathe--"
After browsing all the test questions, Xiao Fan took a deep breath and then began to answer the questions.
—————
There are two exams in total, each of which is four subjects, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and the exam is completed in one day. Each subject is 100 points and 60 points passes, and the eight subjects are scored at 480 points, and the scores are released as soon as possible. Everything is clear.
Even if you pass the exam, you can enter university and continue your studies; if you fail the exam, you will enter society and find your own position; there is no repeating the exam or other ways.
Exams are not the only way. People have more choices. As long as they can contribute to society through their own efforts, people don’t care about your education and background.
This is the biggest difference from before 2012. Reading is very important, but it is stupid to regard reading as a way out. People who only look at their grades are not considered real scholars.
Reading is for the prosperity of the nation, to improve people's lives, to better tomorrow, to develop science and technology, rather than for achievements, power, and for interests.
After 2012, especially during the period when the war between humans and monsters continued, humans attached great importance to physics and biology to an unprecedented level. Science and martial arts require physics and biology, so there are huge breakthroughs in the research of these two disciplines.
Xiao Fan’s biggest advantage is physics and biology, especially in biology, he is simply half an expert.
This is not because he wants to make a great contribution in the field of technology, but because his family has been poor since childhood and cannot afford to buy toys, Xiao Xiaofan studied and made his own research. He used some discarded garbage to modify many fun gadgets based on some electricity principles in physics books.
Over time, I fell in love with the subject of physics.
Biology is also medicine. Xiao Fan exercises his body. At the request of Teacher Lei Li, he keeps learning medicine, has a deep study of the human body, and has also studied biology very seriously.
"Dangdang~~~~~"
After the exam, Xiao Fan scored 297 points in liberal arts and 338 points in science and passed all the exams.

The door to No. 79 opened slowly and candidates flocked out.
"Oh, how did the child do the exam? Mom has cooked you delicious food, so go home quickly."
"Dad is here to pick you up. How are you doing the exam?" Many parents stretched their necks and kept looking for their children in the crowd. The earnest expression on their faces and sweat on their foreheads showed how much they were looking forward to.
The parents of candidates were waiting at the school gate. When they saw the school gate open, they rushed towards their children and asked about their well-being.
Among the crowded crowd, there was only a young man with short hair in blue school uniform, no one paid attention to him. He lowered his head and walked out alone, with a lonely expression on his face.
"Xiaofan, how was the exam?"
Suddenly, a calm and familiar voice came. The young man in the blue school uniform suddenly raised his head and glanced at the crowd. He saw a middle-aged man in orange work clothes with paint on his clothes and dusty hair. The middle-aged man was waving at Xiao Fan in the crowd with his toes, with sweat and a honest smile on his face.
"Dad?" Xiao Fan suddenly felt his chest hot and his eyes moist. He knew that his father was exhausted after a day of work, but he still ran a long way to pick him up. A feeling of happiness instantly filled his chest.
"Xiao Fan, come here quickly." Father Xiao Jianguo waved his calloused hands, his face was covered with deep wrinkles, and his pair of dim eyes were extremely bright at this moment.
"How was the exam?"
"All passed the exam, but the grades were not very high." Xiao Fan replied with a smile.
"Just pass, just pass." Father Xiao Jianguo smiled very simply, patted his son's shoulder with a generous big hand, and looked proud on his face. At this moment, his waist was straight. As if he was saying, "My son is the best, I believe in you."
"Walking home, your mother is cooking at home. Today we have two cups." Father Xiao Jianguo happily patted his son's back, and the wrinkles on his face stretched out.
Xiao Fan had never seen his father so happy. His father was a very strong person, but he would not have to do anything with me at any time. Therefore, he placed all his hopes on the children.
He himself has no education and no status in society. He has suffered many humiliations and hardships, and tears flow into his heart. He hopes that his son will be better than him, and not walk by himself and can make a name for himself.
Xiao Fan nodded with a smile.
"I finally feel relieved now. You will definitely be better than your father in the future." Xiao Jianguo looked at his son, who was half a head taller than him, with his eyes a little wet.
My father is very ordinary and has not given his family a superior life, but his father is very great and has been doing his best to give the family happiness.
