高考：半是蜜半是伤

I sat in the fi rst seat of the last examination room and there were only ten candidates. When invigilators①in the other rooms were collecting answer sheets. I had already walked out of the room. I was the fi rst one to walk out of the room after every exam. The parents were all taking pictures of me when I walked out and it felt Iike walking on a red carpet.It's such a pity that I didn't know any of them, or else I'd like to keep a picture of me walking out with a mysterious smile．

高考的时候，我在最后一个考场的第一个考位，共十人在这教室，收卷子特别快，别的教室还在收答题卡我都已经出考场了。所以连着四场考试我都是第一个被门口家长围着的，跟走红毯似的……各种闪光灯咔咔咔……可惜我不认识那些拍照的，不然真的想把我带着谜之微笑一个人走出考场铁门的样子留下来……

Before the Gaokao, the QQ group name of our class was changed into "Class 2 will surely have a Number one schoolar ".One day after the exam, I realized the name was turned into "Life marches on".

高考前夕，我们班的QQ群名被改成了“二班必出状元”。出成绩后第二天，我发现，群名变成了“生活还要继续”。

Good vision is too important for college candidates! A group of candidates were walking out of the examination room and discussing the composition topic "Drought②"，A guy shouted out loud in the crowd，"Drought? Wasn't it 'Dawn?'" Everyone was shocked...

视力对于高考生来说太重要了！一群考生刚出考场，正在讨论今天的命题 作文“旱”。正在各抒己见的时候，忽听一人惊呼：“旱！不是早吗’！”全场晕厥……

I found a piece of old newspaper today. There was a picture of senior students holding a big banner which read, "Five characters are in the sky: Gaokao is not a big deal". I knew they must fail their Math exam.

今天看见一张旧报纸，上面有一群高考学子，拉着横幅，横幅上面写着：天空飘来五个字——高考不是事儿。我想他们肯定死在数学上了。

"Failure in the junior high school entrance examination and low score in the college entrance examination" could sum up③my experience in examination.

我的考试经历大概可以概括为“中考考不中，高考考不高”。

After the college entrance examination, we will only see summer and winter in our hometown and spend spring and fall in college.

高考后，从此故乡只有冬夏，再无春秋。

I studied hard for 12 years only to fi nd my fi nal aim was leaving home.

我辛苦读书12年，没想到是为了离家。
