Can you imagine going to university at age 14? This year, Jia Zijun, from Henan, did just that. He became the _________ freshman (大一新生) at Beihang University and plans to study aircraft design.
“I didn’t know I was the youngest _________ I got here, and it feels quite cool!” Jia told The Paper.
Jia took part in the college entrance exam in June and got a total score of 642. People often think students like him must be geniuses (天才). But Jia owes (归功于) his _________ mainly to curiosity and good study habits.
“When I was in Grade 1, I was _________ about what we were going to learn next. So I borrowed Grade 2 _________ and learned the lessons during my summer holidays. I enjoyed exploring new information,” he said. Because of this, Jia skipped (跳过) Grade 2, and then Grade 4.
As he went to high school, he found things were getting _________ to learn. So he started to make plans every day and _________ goals for himself. “I would _________ follow the plan, and gradually (逐渐地) I’d see my _________.”
Jia would also __________ what he learned each day before going to bed. If there was something he couldn’t remember well, he’d take a look at it the next morning.
“I was not good at English in high school, so I printed the vocabulary list and __________ it onto my bed. Every morning when I woke up, I __________ them, and it’s a good way to remember things.”
When Jia felt stressful, he had a __________ way to relax: working on math problems. “I’d find difficult problems to __________ myself, and when I worked it out, I felt really happy.”
As he told The Paper, he hopes he can __________ his curiosity and study habits in university, and keep challenging himself to become a better person.
