双语：高考是全民的“高考”
The gaokao is one of China's most important exams. Families take it veryseriously, since it determines children's higher education opportunities.
Students invest vast amounts of time and energy preparing for it.The road became
quiet once the exam began. Dozens of parents waited, chatting in low voices,
reading newspapers or sitting silently, doing nothing at all.There were also
police, urban management officers and doctors at the ready.
高考是中国最重要的考试之一。中国家庭把它看的很严肃而重要，因为高考可以决定孩子是否有机会继续高等教育。学生们投入大量的时间和精力去做准备。马路在考试开始时也立刻变得安静了。很多家长在考点外等候，他们低声聊天或者看报，或者安静的坐着等待，或者就啥也不做。考点也有城管和医生随时待命。

strongest subject.Zhang felt a bit relieved when the boy smiled as he entered
the hall.
他非常担心儿子的考试考的怎样，因为语文并不是他儿子的长项。当看到儿子走进考场时面带微笑，他才觉得稍微放松一点。
