I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

"In this mid-term exam, the student who deserves praise is Huang Zikun. With a total score of 695, he ranked first in the class and top ten in the whole year."

Zhang Wanbang glanced at Huang Zikun with relief. This is his math class: "Of course, the 695 in the second grade of high school cannot be equated with the 695 in the college entrance examination. I hope Huang Zikun will continue to maintain a good state."

"In addition, Qian Huihui, Xu Qiang, Liu Mingbo, Ye Tao, Yue Lushan... and other students have all entered the top 100 in their grades. I hope you will make further progress."

For teachers in Nangang No. 2 Middle School, looking at student rankings is more valuable than looking at absolute scores, because the admission line for the college entrance examination fluctuates every year, while the admission rate for prestigious universities remains basically stable.

There are 48 students in the sophomore (2) class led by Zhang Wanbang. He knows that it is impossible for all of these 48 students to be admitted to the key universities of 985 and 211. There must be a certain proportion.

Mathematicians like to study probability. Zhang Wanbang analyzed the data of the college entrance examination of Nangang No. 2 Middle School in the past ten years.

The data shows that the probability of being admitted to key universities by the top 100 candidates in grades is as high as 98.26%.

For students ranked 101-200 in grades, the probability of being admitted to key universities drops sharply to 31.15%.

Students who have never been ranked in the top 250 in their grades have a zero probability of being admitted to a key university.

Zhang Wanbang looked at Shen Qi and said: "The last classmate I want to praise is Shen Qi. He got full marks in mathematics again, and his total score has risen to the 15th in the class and the top 200 in the whole grade. His progress will last forever. More valuable than points."

"It's mainly because Mr. Zhang taught well." Shen Qi said gratefully, Mr. Zhang provided him with a lot of learning master points, mentor!

At noon, Shen Qi came to Zhang Wanbang's office as usual to deliver "Internal Reference 17".

Shen Qi gently placed "Internal Reference 17" on Zhang Wanbang's desk, and said: "Mr. Zhang, I have finished reading Little Boyo's "On Non-Euclidean Geometry". Does geometric theory solve problems? Last year’s college entrance examination math paper was quite tricky. To solve the problem in the sense of Euclidean, you need to write a bunch of proofs to prove that CD, EF and AB are parallel. If I Citing non-Euclidean geometry arguments, then CD and EF are naturally parallel to AB, and I can prove the most difficult math problem in the college entrance examination last year with only three sentences, saving time and effort.”

"Using university knowledge to solve high school math problems is tantamount to cheating." Zhang Wanbang glared at Shen Qi, and said, "But the Ministry of Education has not explicitly stipulated that it is not allowed to use university knowledge to solve high school math problems. Do it, if you really want to do it, your points will not be deducted."

"Oh, ok. Then I'll leave Teacher Zhang first, and I'll get the No. 18 document in the afternoon." Shen Qi turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, Shen Qi, are you interested in participating in the high school mathematics league?" Zhang Wanbang called to stop Shen Qi.

Shen Qi asked: "Is it difficult?"

"It's not difficult for you to win the prize, but it's not easy to go to the provincial team line."

"Mathematics and provincial teams? Is there a national team?"

"Of course, there are at most six players selected for each national team, and they will represent China in the world. Nangang No. 2 Middle School has been established for nearly a century, and so far only one person has been selected for the national team and represented China in the IMO to win the gold medal."

"It's the awesome alumnus with the headshot on the bulletin board?" Shen Qi remembered, this alumnus was said to be awesome, he was recommended to Tsinghua University, IMO is the abbreviation of International Mathematical Olympiad.

Zhang Wanbang nodded and said, "That's him."

Shen Qi became interested: "This alumnus is very concerned. I saw his avatar posted there when I was in junior high school a few years ago, and it has been posted there until now. Then I will sign up for the math league. When will the competition start? What do I need to prepare?"

"The provincial league will start next month. Go and buy some high school mathematics league exam questions and research. I will help you with the registration."

"Okay, thank you Teacher Zhang, I will do my best!"

In the evening, Shen Qi returned home.

Both Shen Zhishan and Fan Yunxia went home early. They knew that Nangang No. 2 Middle School announced the results of the midterm exam today.

Shen Zhishan Da Ma Jindao sat on the sofa with a stern expression.

Fan Yunxia placed bowls and chopsticks at the dining table, and dinner was ready.

"Sit down." Shen Zhishan patted the sofa cushions, letting Shen Qi sit beside him.

"Dinner has fish, meat, chicken soup, and belts. You can choose what you want to eat." Shen Zhishan began to untie the belt while talking.

"Hey, dad, don't do anything if you have something to say, am I your own son?" Shen Qi really convinced his dad, and untied his belt if he disagreed, the key is that he hasn't even produced his report card yet!

"Stop rambling, how many?" Shen Zhishan asked coldly.

"Don't be impatient and don't panic." Shen Qi took out the physics test paper from his schoolbag, spread it out, and put it on the coffee table.

"Physics 86?" Shen Zhishan picked up the physics test paper and looked at it horizontally and vertically, looking forward and backward, yes, it was Shen Qi's handwriting. A score of 86 in the physics test is not very low. Shen Qi only scored 45 points in the physics test last time.

"This is the chemistry and biology test paper." Shen Qi then took out the chemistry test paper and the biology test paper and put them on the coffee table.

"Chemistry 80? Biology 82? So, Shen Qi, you got 248 points in the three subjects of physics, chemistry and biology?" Shen Zhishan was very puzzled, even skeptical.

Shen Qi nodded, and said confidently: "As dad saw, that's right."

"Then what is the average score of the other students in your class for physics and chemistry students? 280?"

"There is no 280. The average score of our class of science and chemistry students is 242."

"So you did well in the physical and chemical entrance examination this time, surpassing half of the classmates in the class?" Shen Zhishan couldn't believe it, what the hell is going on?

"That's right, but I'm not good at Chinese and English. I'll do a deep review and try to improve in the next final exam." Shen Qi continued to take out the Chinese and English test papers.

Chinese 88, English 95, Shen Zhishan felt a little relieved, he felt that this was Shen Qi's real level: "What about mathematics?"

"Mathematics, you did well in the test." Shen Qi finally released the big move that he had held back for a long time, and he slowly spread out the math test paper in front of Shen Zhishan's eyes.

"One hundred and five? Full marks?" Even Shen Zhishan, who had seen the world before, couldn't help but be shocked. Shen Qi's math test could be full marks, isn't it too fake?

In the end, Shen Qi took out the ranking list and put it on the tea table. There are pictures and the truth, so you can see for yourself.

"15 in the whole class! 188 in the whole grade!"

The news was too shocking. Shen Qi, who was ranked 47th in the class last time, has advanced to 32 places this time, a huge increase.

Fan Yunxia was not in the mood to play with the dishes, she immediately came to Shen Zhishan's side, and checked Shen Qi's midterm exam paper and ranking list with her husband.

"This... this is too surprising!" Fan Yunxia was particularly excited. Shen Qi ranked 15th in the class with a score of 581 in the midterm exam, and ranked in the top 200 of the whole grade. The ranking is definitely not high, but the improvement is obvious.

Where there is progress, there is hope. During the parent meeting, Teacher Zhang said that students who can stabilize their grades in the top 200 of the year will have the opportunity to be admitted to key universities.

There are 441 students in 9 science classes in the second grade of senior high school. Shen Qi went from No. 436 to No. 188 in the whole grade, and his ranking increased by 248 places.

"Shen Qi is doing well, come, drink a bowl of chicken soup first to replenish your body." Fan Yunxia trotted to the kitchen and brought a bowl of hot chicken soup to Shen Qi, her joy was beyond words.

Shen Qi drank the bowl of chicken soup in one gulp, wiped his mouth and said, "Sweet! Mom's chicken soup is pretty good!"

"Son, just drink it, there's still plenty of chicken soup!"
