Anhui Shexian County College Entrance Examination Mathematics Test Postponed Shexian County Chinese Language and Mathematics Test Postponed: There is a hidden subject in the college entrance examination called "Remain Calm in the Face of Change" Today, the college entrance examination begins and everyone is paying attention. Due to the impact of the epidemic, "online classes + postponement + epidemic prevention" make this year's college entrance examination particularly special. However, for the candidates in She County, Anhui Province, in addition to this special test paper, they also drew an extra "supplementary question". On the morning of July 7, a red warning for heavy rain was issued in Huangshan, Anhui. Due to continuous heavy rainfall, river water in She County, Anhui Province has flowed back into the urban area, causing serious waterlogging in many places in the city. Roads are impassable and some candidates can only take boat to take the exam. Among them, at the She County No. 2 Middle School examination site, some candidates were unable to arrive at the site in time due to flooded roads. As of 10 a.m., only more than 500 of the more than 2,000 candidates in She County arrived at the examination venue. In the end, the local authorities decided to cancel the morning Chinese language test in She County and postpone it, and the latest news shows that the mathematics subject test has also been postponed. The two postponed subjects of Chinese and Mathematics will have their test papers changed, and the specific arrangements will be notified to the candidates in a timely manner. Throughout the morning, the video of She County candidates taking a boat to the exam was widely circulated on the Internet, which was very moving. Anyone who has experienced the college entrance examination will find it easy to understand the anxiety, tension and fear of the people on the boat. From the initial news of delayed exam start time to the later cancellation of Chinese and math exams and postponing them to a later date, the anxious candidates can finally breathe a sigh of relief. For She County, decisively canceling the Chinese and mathematics exams and arranging them elsewhere so that no candidate would miss the exam due to heavy rain is undoubtedly a fairer solution under the current circumstances and a reasonable choice from the perspective of candidate safety. After all, no matter how important the college entrance examination is, it is not more important than the safety of the candidates' lives. This is the consensus of the whole society. For the candidates in She County, their feelings at this moment are probably quite complicated. On the one hand, I couldn't help feeling a little panicked as the examination plan had changed; on the other hand, I had more doubts about the upcoming postponed examination: How to ensure that the postponed examination papers and scores were balanced with those in other places in Anhui to ensure fairness? However, what I want to say to the candidates is that these problems can be left to us "adults" to solve. As for you, relax and take the exam calmly, and try your best to perform at your expected level no matter how the exam is arranged. That is enough. Since the college entrance examination is held during the flood season, it has been delayed due to floods before. According to media reports, when the mathematics test in Xupu County, Hunan Province was about to end on the morning of June 8, 2010, a severe flood disaster suddenly occurred. The roads and test sites were submerged by floods, and it was impossible to get out or in. The English test time was postponed to 4:30 p.m. that day, and no candidate missed the test due to the flood. In fact, the college entrance examination is a battle of "remaining constant in the face of ever-changing situations", which means that test questions are constantly updated within the syllabus; it also means facing various unexpected situations. The college entrance examination is always a double test of knowledge and mentality. In terms of knowledge, the candidates have been preparing for a long time and are familiar with it; but in terms of mentality, this is still a "stage performance" without rehearsal. Being able to remain calm in the face of danger and not panic in the face of change is also an important "examination subject". Candidates who have experienced a major epidemic are probably no longer unfamiliar with accidents. No matter how strong the wind and waves are, as long as you keep a calm mind, you will be able to ride the wind and waves and move forward. Therefore, candidates and parents do not need to worry too much about such accidents, and should believe that the examination organizers have sufficient experience and plans to deal with emergencies. The local education department and the higher-level examination authority will definitely make overall considerations and find the best solution; all sectors of society will also continue to pay attention until everything is settled and every candidate is given a fair answer. |
