When a friend's child was in his senior year of high school, he was in a rebellious stage and was under great academic pressure. The couple joked that they were "submissive" every day and had to make a draft in their minds before communicating with the child, for fear that something they said would be wrong and the child would get upset again.
Especially the child's grades, which fluctuate. The Chinese teacher always said that extracurricular reading must be strengthened. The couple searched for reading materials everywhere, but every time they urged the child to read, the child was impatient. After thinking about it, they simply took the initiative to put the tabloid that grandpa subscribed at the entrance of the house on time. It was light and thin, thinking that the child would notice it when he went in and out of the house to change shoes and clothes? Maybe he would pick it up and flip through it.
Unexpectedly, such a small action had the effect of causing the child to encounter a reading question that he had seen before in this year's college entrance examination.
This is a language and text application question from the new Chinese curriculum II of this year's college entrance examination:
There are 9 points in total, and the selected reading materials are from the literary world section of "Wen Zhai Bao" on October 28, 2023.
The child came home and said that he had a good impression of the article, so he quickly skimmed through it and focused on analyzing the questions. In the college entrance examination where every second counts, this "surprise" not only saved time, but also made the child more confident.
After the results came out, the child’s Chinese score was indeed better than in the usual mock exams, which can be considered an “extraordinary performance”.
In fact, this is not the only question. The composition question in this year's college entrance examination Chinese new curriculum standard II is to write based on materials.
This material is related to the aerospace field, and the Digest has selected many stories about people related to aerospace.
In fact, this type of composition topic tests children's qualities of constantly trying, not fearing failure, and looking to the future. The stories selected by the Digest are close to the material and the children can quickly form writing ideas through association.
In addition, these character stories can also be used flexibly as materials in the popular college entrance examination essay topics related to innovation and perseverance in recent years. With the accumulation of more contemporary and novel materials, children will naturally have a "comparative advantage" when writing essays.
Under the new college entrance examination, Chinese is the most difficult subject to master quickly.
In recent years, the flexibility of questions in both reading and writing has been increasing, and the proportion of open-ended questions has been increasing. They test students' overall quality, and it is basically impossible to get high scores by doing more questions. For example, the language and text questions mentioned above have shifted their focus from the tool attributes of language and text to the imagery, profundity, critical thinking and originality of children's thinking. Without sufficient accumulation and unique insights, it is difficult to give outstanding answers to open-ended questions.
For middle school students who are under great academic pressure, reading is an important way to improve the depth of thought and broaden the scope of knowledge. But for children, the most feared thing is that extracurricular reading has become a new "burden". With a lightweight selection of reading materials such as "Digest", you can flip through it and read it in your spare time, and your humanistic literacy will be improved unconsciously. Facing the exam with a mentality of showing rather than "taking the exam", you will naturally be more comfortable with answering questions.
