   The whole country goes respectfully silent during the exams. Flights are re-routed, and people are banned from honking car horns near the exam rooms nationwide. Outside the exam halls, anxious parents wait, many having spent weeks attending temples to make offerings to ensure success. Exam hall monitors are not allowed to wear high heels or perfume for fear of distracting the students。

  举国上下在考试期间都出于尊重而保持安静。飞机改期,人们也禁止在全国范围内的考点附近鸣喇叭。考场外是焦虑的在等待的家长。考点的监考人员也不允许穿高跟鞋或者洒香水,担心会因此而分散考生的注意力。
