>> Selected reading in the text:

Starting (1941-1957)

I went to High -Sheng Town Senior Elementary School in Bali and tuned their homework; I entered Panshan Middle School in July. The test is only the three subjects of Chinese, arithmetic, and current affairs. Full of Chinese scores, political passage, 20 points for arithmetic -I bring an abacus, add, subtract, and remove four questions. The answers are right, but it will not be listed. Therefore, only one -fifth of scores are scored.

Fortunately, the scores and interviews were excellent, and they were admitted.

In the oral test, the teacher was Mr. Wang Zhifu. Like his family, he first asked me to introduce family conditions and personal learning experience. I reported my situation truthfully.

Teacher Wang said, "No wonder, you haven't read regular primary schools! However, your Chinese foundation is quite good. So, what courses do you like the most in the six months of high primary school?" I said, like geography. He also asked: "Why?" I said, I am determined to be a text. When I grow up, I have to learn Xu Xiake and write a travel notes.

"Well, I will ask you about your question." Teacher Wang thought about it slightly, and said, "You pay attention, the test question is: I want to visit the grandmother from here (referring to Panshan County) to Guangzhou. Look, how can we go to economy, save time, and convenient? There are three requests: one must minimize the funding, and the other must be maximized to save time. You can take a car from Panshan County to Jinzhou, then transfer to the Beijing -Shen -Shen Railway train to Beijing, then transfer to the Beijing -Shanghai train to Nanjing, board the Yangtze River passenger ship from Nanjing to Shanghai, and then take the Shanghai ship to Guangzhou from Shanghai.

"You think about another solution." Teacher Wang said, "My travel plan has changed a little, because a new situation has occurred. My sister reads high school in Baoji, Shaanxi, and she has to visit her grandmother together. You see, how do you go? How can I meet with her? "I said, then notify her in advance, board the east trains of the Longhai Railway, rush to Xuzhou in Jiangsu, and agree with each other and the time for arriving. The teacher still took a car from here to Jinzhou, then took the train to Tianjin, then transferred to the train of the Jinpu Railway, took the sister at Xuzhou Station to get off at Nanjing, then got off at Nanjing, then transferred to Shanghai, and then transferred to the sea wheel. Go to Guangzhou.

"Okay!" Teacher Wang said happily, "Give you 100 points."

In this way, although the results of my written test are not satisfactory, they are still admitted to the first grade of junior high school in the first position of the 19th place.

At that time, it was the spring of the spring. In order to supplement the students and the summer expansion, the one -year class A and other three classes of the junior high school and the other three classes of B, C, and Ding were added.

Our class teacher is Teacher Wang Zhifu during the oral test. He taught mathematics; several teachers of the subjects also met with the new students together. In order to help me pick up the "short legs" of mathematics, Teacher Wang used Sunday and a few nights to concentrate to make up the lesson, so that I followed me quickly, and cultivated my interest in studying mathematics. Confucius said: "Those who know are not as good as those who are good, and those who are good are not as good as those who are happy." It means that people who understand it are worse than those who love it; people who love it are worse than those who are happy. It can be seen that hobbies and interests are important for knowledge and skills, so there is a saying that "interest is the best teacher".

Unexpectedly, in terms of Chinese, I encountered a difficult deal. One week after the start of school, Teacher Shi, who taught Chinese, found that my composition was actually used for classical Chinese, so I solemnly wrote a batch of words in the composition book: "We are new society and new era, we must write in new styles. In the future In writing. "After the class, I called me to the Teaching and Research Office and said," The classical Chinese words are concise, you '洎 写 写 写, the four seas Chengping', it is indeed more 'to this day, the domestic social environment is harmonious and stable. , 'The article is together and is around.' The writing of the new era is to the people of workers, peasants, and soldiers. The object is not a few spiritual nobles. You are a '，', the right of the right, and a few more understandable! "

For me, it does produce deafening effects. To this end, I made a painstaking determination to change the string more and start from the beginning. In addition to careful understanding and recitation of modern models in the textbook, I also consciously read many new literary works since May 4th.
