Chapter 6, A Fulfilling Life
This is truly a moving conclusion
Moreover, getting up early in the morning to run, although one can generally pass the physical education score with some effort, Cheng Ran's exercise is not for the sake of grades. Instead, it is to cherish this youthful body that has not been damaged by indulgence. He aims to eradicate all bad habits in their infancy. The term "health" is something that only those who have experienced it truly understand; it is something that cannot be exchanged for any amount of wealth or status.
Overall, it will take about a month for him to fully master the knowledge of junior high school
Language Arts: Plan to spend four days to comprehensively review the most important classical Chinese texts and the renowned essays and miscellaneous writings from the textbook.
Although he may be somewhat carried away, there are indeed some questions that he feels even a child could answer now... Moreover, such questions have truly appeared in previous middle school entrance examinations
Chemistry: In five days, the focus is on reviewing theorems, chemical equations, and reaction collections
Starting with the first objective, after having dinner, Cheng Ran stayed in the room and took out the materials from his three years of middle school to review.
As for those reading comprehension questions based on prose analysis, they are what troubles Cheng Ran the most. It is not about understanding and analyzing an article, but rather being asked what kind of connotation is reflected behind the depiction of a situation, what the author's state of mind is, the hopes expressed, and other bizarre and chaotic associations.
As for ideological and political matters, Cheng Ran has encountered quite a bit in later generations, and it now appears that many aspects require a process of review and retrieval.
At this moment, Cheng Ran is filled with a sense of nostalgia and longing towards learning, even accompanied by a reverence and devotion to knowledge. In a life reborn, while it is certainly important to leave no regrets, as time passes, what makes you not regret the time spent in the past? The answer lies in doing meaningful things or in self-improvement.
Chinese language. ... After reviewing several exam papers, he encountered some obscure characters or pronunciations, such as "菡萏", "毰毸", "濩落", "瀺灂" ... . ... These can improve accuracy by focusing on the sudden appearance of obscure character test points. There are no issues with idiomatic expressions and word usage. However, the biggest problem lies in classical Chinese and reading comprehension questions. The fill-in-the-blank questions in classical Chinese require strict memorization; even a single character error is unacceptable. Cheng Ran lost many points and now needs to recover them, which can only be achieved by increasing reading volume.
As for mathematics, the formulas and theorems are somewhat unfamiliar, but these can be made up for. At this time, most of the mathematics exam questions are within the syllabus, although some of the questions that can lower scores do seem to go beyond the syllabus. There is no way around it; this is a method to distinguish some top students. In fact, regarding the main syllabus questions in mathematics today, if we disregard careless mistakes, many top students can almost achieve full marks. At this point, the appearance of certain questions is necessary to create a gap.
Therefore, gaining admission to No. 1 High School is the true pressing priority. On the other hand, it is never too late to learn. In his previous life, he died from overwork, being bound by too many affairs, and later had very little time to read and enrich himself. As for pursuing further studies, that was even more of a luxury.
A fulfilling and unprecedented new life is thus set in motion
Cheng Ran recalled that a writer once mentioned that his article was included in a Chinese language exam, and when he attempted it himself, he got all the answers wrong. He did not even understand the author's thoughts and feelings as presented in the standard answers of his own work. Such reading comprehension questions can only be approached with a strategy similar to studying classical Chinese literature, which is to read the correct answers multiple times and ultimately recite them verbatim in response, leaving little room for personal interpretation.
Mathematics: Five days' time, main formulas, one set of midterm exam papers each day, to identify and address gaps in knowledge
After reviewing the collection of past middle school entrance examination questions, he formulated a study plan
Although Cheng Ran in later generations did not attend an excellent university, he reflected deeply during his high school years and ultimately did not fall too far behind, entering a non-key major at a 211 university. Therefore, he still had a solid foundation. Not to mention his years of work experience, travel, and business trips abroad, he had become quite proficient in English. The content from middle school primarily focused on listening and the application of grammatical contexts, which posed almost no difficulty for him. Aside from some rigid sentence structures and differences in colloquial expressions, he was momentarily caught off guard; otherwise, most of it was clear at a glance. He was actually holding last year's Zhongkao exam paper from Shanhai City issued by the school, wanting to see if there were any issues with answering the questions at his current level.
The result is satisfactory, but after comparing with the answers, he lost 10 points due to some obscure grammatical usages. For a very few words that he does not recognize, he can still infer their meanings through word combinations and context. Therefore, the issue with his English is simply a matter of being more meticulous and practicing with a few more papers. Once he addresses the problems he has encountered, there should be no significant issues, and achieving a perfect score is not particularly difficult.

Cheng Ran knows that although his father appears broad-minded and has a cheerful personality, he is actually someone whose convictions are not easily swayed. He belongs to the type of person who not only listens to what you say but also observes how you act. Based on the extensive data gathered from raising Cheng Ran, no matter how eloquently Cheng Ran speaks, it is unlikely to change his father's decision.
The only thing that can change his decision and bring him back on track is the tangible results achieved by Cheng Ran. At this moment, even if he earns a sum of money to pay the high tuition for high school, it may not necessarily alter his father's decision, and could even lead to issues such as a crisis of trust.
Some interesting mathematical problems have also been encountered, such as this one: "In order to understand the health status of the elderly in a certain city, a random sample of elderly individuals is selected for investigation. Which of the following methods for selecting elderly individuals is the most appropriate? A. Select one hundred elderly women. B. Select one hundred elderly men. C. Select one hundred elderly individuals from the park. D. Select 10 points in urban and rural areas, and randomly choose five elderly individuals from each point."
Physics: Review all theorems in five days
Basically, there is no need for review; just read some English reading materials every day, and if possible, look for some foreign newspapers to read
Political Thought: Seven days, rote memorization, with a foundation, this time is sufficient
He merely wishes to become a sponge, tirelessly absorbing the knowledge that he once overlooked. Even a tiny bit can make him feel as if he is sipping a drop of dew in a parched desert
Overall, these two subjects primarily rely on the memorization of formulas and theorems. It is necessary to revisit them, and with the current enthusiasm, it is actually not difficult to face them.
These questions, some of which are even from Olympiad mathematics and content that is only studied in high school, test the extent to which certain students have mastered the question bank. However, for Cheng Ran, he is least afraid of content that exceeds the syllabus. Although he has forgotten much of the mathematics learned in high school, certain key points of memory remain, allowing him to draw connections across different topics, making many of these questions not particularly difficult for him. Of course, this premise is that he still needs to conduct a systematic review.
As for physics and chemistry, in fact, both subjects are not difficult during middle school. Physics mainly involves applications related to everyday phenomena, generally covering topics such as thermodynamics, resistance, voltage, and current. The difficulty of the questions is mostly centered around Ampere's law and problems related to calculating the changes in current and voltage of sliding resistors in circuits. Chemistry focuses on chemical equations and the experimental processes of chemical reactions, with some minor traps that primarily test attention to detail. However, this is typically the work of less sophisticated question setters. The challenging questions often revolve around Ampere's law and similar problems regarding the changes in current and voltage of sliding resistors in circuits. Chemistry tests chemical equations and the experimental processes of chemical reactions, with some minor traps that mainly assess meticulousness, but this is generally the work of less advanced question setters. More adept question setters would integrate experimental questions with various reaction patterns, extending from the displacement reactions in blast furnace iron smelting to the rust removal using dilute sulfuric acid.
