常州高级中学的体育馆里，347名选手一人一台计算机，紧张地计算、编程，偌大的体育馆里只有敲击键盘的声音，在长达五个小时的比赛中，选手们可以喝水、吃面包补充能量。

Changzhou senior high school sports stadium，347 players a person a computer，Nervously calculation、programming，So big stadiums only the sound of striking the keyboard，For up to five hours of game，The players can drink、Add energy to eat bread。

　　这是8月上旬举行的2012年第29届全国青少年信息学奥林匹克竞赛（简称NOI）的赛场。

This is early August at the 2012 national youth informatics the xxix Olympic competition（NOI as）Game of。

　　这也是NOI最后一届与高考保送直接挂钩的比赛。教育部2010年年底宣布调整高考加分项目，其中一条就是参加全国中学生(数学、物理、化学、生物学、信息学)奥林匹克竞赛获得全国决赛一、二、三等奖的学生，不再具备高校招生保送资格。

This is the last session and the university entrance exam NOI walks the game tied directly。The ministry of education in 2010 by the end of the university entrance exam bonus project announced adjustment，One is to take part in the national high school students(mathematics、physical、chemical、biology、informatics)The Olympic competition for the final one、two、Third prize of the students，No longer have college recruit students walked qualification。

　　

最后一届与保送挂钩的竞赛上各大名校疯狂“抢”人 The last th and walks in the contest of the value of the prestigious crazy“rob”people

　　NOI被誉为信息学的“巅峰赛事”，是国内信息学领域面向中学生的最高水平的大赛。每年通过全国联赛、全国竞赛、各省区比赛等系列赛事，有几百名学生被保送进入全国各大名牌高校。

NOI is known as informatics“Peak events”，Is the domestic field of the secondary school students for informatics highest level of competition。Every year, the national league、The national competition、Every province game series events，Hundreds of students walked into the major national famous universities。

　　政策的变化，让相关中学教师有点无所适从。湖南师大附中李淑平老师指导的学生每年都取得不错的成绩，但她现在心有疑虑：“不知明年这个比赛是不是还能吸引这么多学生。”

Policy change of，Let related middle school teacher a little overwhelmed。Hunan normal university LiShuPing affiliated school teacher every year the students get good results，But her heart now doubt：“Do not know this game is next year could attract so many students。”

　　作为主办方，中国计算机学会考虑的是今后如何让高校能够真正选拔到自己看中的学生。

As the，China is the future of computer learned to think how to make college can truly selection to see the students。

　　NOI始于1984年，2000年9月，在中国首次举办了国际信息学奥林匹克竞赛活动，获得成功并产生了良好的国际影响。教育部于2001年年初正式出台文件，明确提出在高中阶段取得5项(数学、物理、化学、生物学、信息学)学科奥赛省级一等奖的选手可免试保送上大学。

NOI began in 1984，September 2000，For the first time in China held the international Olympic competition informatics activities，Success and produced a good international influence。The ministry of education in early 2001 formal introduction file，Clearly put forward in the high school stage get five(mathematics、physical、chemical、biology、informatics)The first prize at provincial level of discipline the olympiad player walks on an exemption university。

　　但是，NOI的科学委员会对此并不领情，他们担心执行这一规定会引发一系列负面效应。之后，他们撰写了一份报告《关于取消保送信息学奥赛省级比赛一等奖上大学的建议》，充分陈述了反对将信息学奥赛成绩和高考挂钩的理由，直接递交到中国科协并转呈教育部。

but，NOI scientific committee this doesn't happen，They worry that this implementation regulations will cause a series of negative effects。after，They wrote a report《Cancel walks about on the first prize at provincial level the olympiad informatics university Suggestions》，The full statement against the olympiad achievement and the university entrance exam informatics hook reason，Directly submit to China association for science and technology in the ministry of education and。

　　可是，这些建议没有得到足够重视。之后，奥赛不断曝出丑闻。NOI全国竞赛没有出现过问题，但是在省级赛区中，出现过“钱分”交易。

but，These Suggestions don't get paid enough attention。after，The olympiad constantly to expose scandals。The national competition has no NOI experienced problems，But in provincial division，appeared“Money points”trading。

　　“取消保送是我们一直呼吁的，现在马上就开始实施了。奥赛本身其实是在‘验成色’，要让高校来确定如何选择学生，而不是教育行政部门来决定。”这是NOI科学委员会副主席、清华大学教授尹宝林的观点。

“Walking is we have been calling for cancellation，Now just began to implement。The olympiad itself is actually‘Check looks’，To make college to determine how to choose a student，Not education administrative department to decide。”This is NOI science commission vice chairman、Tsinghua university professor YinBaoLin point of view。

　　每年NOI竞赛都有高校招生人员到现场争夺学生，今年是高校来的最多的一年。竞赛一结束，来自北京大学、清华大学、复旦大学、中国人民大学、上海交通大学等13所著名高校的招生老师就已经到达现场，开始发放预录取通知书。这届竞赛获得金牌和银牌的高二选手几乎全被北大、清华免试录取，其他年级的金牌选手也可以保留保送资格。

Every year of college students have NOI competition for students to the site personnel，This year is the university to the most。Competition over a，From Beijing university、Tsinghua university、Fudan university、The people's university of China、Shanghai jiaotong university famous universities 13 of recruit students teacher had arrived at the scene，Start issuing the admission notice。That the competition for gold and silver almost all of the senior high school players by Peking University、Tsinghua admitted to an exemption，Other year of the gold medal players can also keep walks qualification。

　　据江苏省参赛队有关负责老师说，金牌选手大部分被清华抢录了，银牌选手现在也很走俏，一名选手往往能收到三四个知名高校的免试录取通知，挑选的余地很大。光常州高级中学就有6人被北大、清华“抢”走。

According to relevant responsible for the teacher said the team in jiangsu province，Most of the gold medalist by tsinghua rob record，Silver player is also popular now，A player can often received three four famous university admission of an exemption，Selected room is very big。Changzhou senior middle school have light six people were Peking University、tsinghua“rob”go。

　　清华大学计算机系随后在自己的招生官方微博发布消息：清华大学在第29届全国青少年信息学奥赛招生中成绩骄人。清华大学由招生办公室和计算机系组成的招生小组到现场对竞赛成绩优异、综合素质全面的高中生进行择优录取，全部34名金牌选手中有28人将进入清华深造，成绩排名前14的全部被清华录取。

Tsinghua university computer department then in their admissions official micro bo said in a news release：Tsinghua university in the xxix olympiad recruit students of the national youth informatics record was impressive。Tsinghua university admissions office and the computer by the composition of the team to the scene of the race recruit students with excellent results、The comprehensive quality of the best comprehensive high school students admitted，All 34 gold medalist in 28 people will enter the tsinghua for further study，Results all of the top 14 by tsinghua admitted。

　　

特殊人才，掐尖之后要特殊培养 Special talents，After QiaJian to special training

　　76岁的NOI科学委员会名誉主席、清华大学教授吴文虎几乎坐镇了NOI的每一届比赛。

The 76-year-old NOI scientific committee honorary chairman、Tsinghua university professor WuWenHu almost every one of the NOI won the competition。

　　吴文虎清楚地记得1986年NOI开始步入正轨时，他第一次担当出题人出的题目。虽然使用的是最初级的BASIC语言，而且计算机刚刚进入中国，但那批中学生能在限定的一个半小时里完成题目，非常出色。

WuWenHu clearly remember 1986 NOI began on track，The first time he set the topic that bear。Although the use of the BASIC language is the primary，And the computer just into China，But the batch of middle school students in a limited amount of one and a half hours to finish the topic，Very well。

　　吴文虎至今记得那次竞赛的前几名学生。第一名叫李劲，来自上海，5道题全部做出来，后来进入清华大学，一直读完博士；第二名是来自广东韶关一中的廖恒，这名才上初二的学生在一个半小时内做出了三道题。对于这样的好苗子，吴文虎教授会同其他NOI科学委员会成员与有关部门协商，将廖恒转学到北京景山学校读高中。这个少年只用一年时间就把高中三年课程全部学完，并顺利通过了清华大学的测试，进入计算机专业读书。

Remember that the competition since WuWenHu before a few students。First name LiJin，From Shanghai，Five answers to all，Later in tsinghua university，Has been finished reading dr；The second is one of LiaoHeng from guangdong shaoguan，The name of the second to the students in an hour and a half to three problem。For such a good young plant，Professor WuWenHu jointly with other NOI science committee member and the relevant departments to negotiate，LiaoHeng will be transferred to Beijing jingshan school in high school。The young only a year is a high school three years course all learned，And smoothly passed the test of tsinghua university，Into the computer professional reading。

　　说起当年高校招生录取的大胆和不拘一格，吴文虎感慨：“这样突破常规的培养和录取，现在反而做不到了。人才的选择和培养方式，不应受到过多干涉。”

Speaking of that year college enrollment bold and not stick to one pattern，WuWenHu regrets：“This breakthrough and training of conventional admission，But now do not come。The choice of talents training mode and，Should not by too much interference。”

　　1987年，吴文虎带了几个在竞赛中脱颖而出的学生到美国访问，在苹果公司看到了苹果2的原型机，当时乔布斯刚刚被迫离开苹果公司。

1987 years，WuWenHu brought some in the competition of the students to visit the United States，In the apple see apple 2 prototypes，When Steve jobs just was forced to leave the apple。

　　面对这台当时最受欢迎的个人电脑，吴文虎问几个学生有没有信心制造出中国自己的产品来，几个学生不约而同回答：“只要给条件，我们就行！”这几个学生中就有李劲和廖恒。

Facing this one was the most popular personal computers，WuWenHu ask some students to make China have faith of their products，Several students answer to coincide：“As long as give conditions，We will do！”These a few students in LiJin and LiaoHeng。

　　回国后，吴文虎正好接到一个七五攻关项目。其中一个子项目是要做一个软件用于当时的中华学习机。他找了10个本科生，其中有两个是大一新生。这些学生使用吴文虎从上海计算机厂借来的计算机，用了一年时间，完成了程序设计。专家鉴定后给予了非常高的评价。

Returned home after，WuWenHu just received a 7 5 research project。One of them is to do the sub-project of a software used for at the time of the Chinese language learner。He found 10 students，There are two is a freshman。These students to use WuWenHu from Shanghai computer factory borrowed a computer，In a year，Completed the program design。Experts identified gave a very high evaluation。

　　可是，这些有天赋更有兴趣的学生，在完成本科和硕士的学习后大部分都出国了。这让吴文虎感到无奈：“他们都很优秀，无论是自学能力还是创造力都很强，可他们大部分不会在国内念博士，在国外拿到博士学位后也不愿回来。”

but，These talented more interested in students，In complete undergraduate and post-graduate study of all to go abroad。This let WuWenHu feel helpless：“They are all very excellent，Both studies independently ability or creativity are strong，But most of them won't Ph.D in China，After obtaining his doctorate in abroad to come back。”

　　吴文虎认为其中原因有多个，其中之一是高校只管掐尖，把好的学生拼命抢到自己学校，可是抢到手之后，对于怎么培养并没有太用心。把在某一方面非常出色的学生与其他学生放到一起，不考虑学生的个性发展，让他们很快就“泯然众人矣”。

WuWenHu think the reasons why have more than one，One of them is just QiaJian universities，The good students try very hard to grab their own school，But rob after it，For how to develop and not too attentively。Put in a hand very good student and other students in together，Don't consider student's personality development，Let them quickly“Min but will do all”。

　　对于高校培养人才的方式，负责输送人才的中学教师也颇有微词。常州高级中学的曹文老师每年指导的学生都会有十来个人和各大高校提前签约。曹文知道，有些学校虽然招生时不遗余力地“抢”人，但在日常的专业教学中，教材陈旧，教学方法单一，学生所学知识与应用脱节。甚至一些高校计算机系四年都不给学生安排实习。

For college of talents training mode，Responsible for conveying talent high school teachers also disapprove。Changzhou senior middle CaoWen teachers guide students will have more personal and universities signed in advance。CaoWen know，Some schools although when spare no effort to recruit students“rob”people，But in the everyday in the teaching of specialized，Teaching material old，Teaching methods single，Students learn knowledge and application apart。Even some of the universities' computer is four years will not give students practice arrangement。

　　“通过学科竞赛被高校录取的学生在某一方面比那些高考状元有专长，可是他们没有得到重视。”曹文老师说。

“Through the course contests was admitted students in a university of one hand than those college entrance examinations have expertise，But they did not get attention。”CaoWen teacher said。

　　吴文虎认为，特殊的学生需要校方提供特别发展的条件。十几年前，有一个通过NOI竞赛进入清华大学计算机系读书的大一新生，吴文虎交给他一个语音识别软件的设计任务，只用了两个小时给他讲原理，然后给了他一本博士论文，这个学生半年就完成任务，并获得了当年最佳软件奖。

WuWenHu think，Special students need to provide special conditions of the development of the school。Ten years ago，There is a through NOI competition into the computer department of tsinghua university study freshmen，WuWenHu to him a voice recognition software design task，Only two hours told him about principle，And then gave him a PhD thesis，The student is half a year to complete the task，And access to the best software award that year。

　　

无论是参加奥赛还是人生不能只是为资格而战 Whether to the olympiad or life can not be just for qualification and fight

　　虽然NOI是教育部认可的五大学科竞赛之一，但由于其竞赛内容与高考内容无关，吸引的更多是真正有兴趣的学生。可是，还是有一些学生参赛是为了拿到大学的通行证，甚至用一两年的时间全部备战NOI，放弃其他学科的学习，可谓是孤注一掷。

Although NOI approved by the ministry of education is one of the five course contests，But because of its competition content and the university entrance exam content have nothing to do，To attract more students interested in is real。but，There are still some students took part in order to get the pass is the university，Even in a year or two for all time NOI，Give up other subjects of study，It may be said is put all your eggs in one basket。

　　对于这样的选手，中国计算机学会秘书长杜子德是“恨铁不成钢”：“回顾过去的20多年，获得国际奖牌（信息学）的中国选手就超过80名，我们数数，这些人中，有多少在科学、新技术、创办企业、社会管理或社会公益方面为社会作出了杰出贡献？有谁像比尔·盖茨20岁时创办了微软公司？像乔布斯那样在21岁时创办了苹果公司？像林纳斯·托瓦兹在21岁写出了操作系统Linux？又有谁像扎克伯格那样20岁时创建了社交网络？没有！”

For such a player，China's computer society DuZiDe is general secretary“Hate iron don't expect too much frequently”：“Review the past 20 years，Get international medal（informatics）China's more than 80，We count，These people，How many in science、New technology、start-ups、Social management or social welfare aspects made outstanding contribution for the society？Who is like Bill Gates at age 20 founded Microsoft company？Like Steve jobs that at age 21 started apple？Like Lawrence ground "at 21 Schwartz wrote the Linux operating system？And who like zack's that age 20 created social networks？no！”

　　杜子德这番话让台下的参赛选手为之一振，他们没有想到在竞赛的开幕式上听到的不是一般常规性的致辞，而是引人思考的一连串反问。

DuZiDe this words let the contestants does it one brace up，They didn't think in the opening ceremony of the competition is not generally hear regular speech，But a series of ask is thinking。

　　“你们成长到现在，大部分时间都是在为了资格而战，从幼儿园占坑班到小学阶段的奥数班，一直到高中的各种学科竞赛和特长比拼，大多数都是为了一个目标，那就是资格。你们中有65%的选手将获得奖牌，你们中的一部分人将直接进入清华大学或北京大学深造。事情是否结束了？没有！”

“You grow up to now，Most of the time in order to fight in qualification，From kindergarten to primary school class of pit of Olympic math class，Have been to high school and specialty lists of various disciplines competition，Most are in order to a goal，That's qualification。You 65% of the players will get a medal，Some of you will go straight to tsinghua university or Beijing university for further education。Whether the thing over？no！”

　　杜子德想告诉这些一路比上来的学子们，人生决不是为资格而战。“历届NOI获奖选手大部分呆在国外过着安逸的生活。我也听说，今年有一位获得国际金牌的选手被某公司高薪聘用，一时成为业界新闻。我想知道，这就是我们的追求吗？是什么影响了我们的创造力？是什么妨碍我们大胆创新？我们为什么总跟随在西方人后面享受人家创造的新文明、新技术和新工具？”

DuZiDe want to tell these students than all the way up，Life is not a fight for qualification。“All the players stay in most NOI foreign lived a life of ease。I also heard that，This year there was a gain international gold MEDALS is a company gainfully employed，At that time become the industry news。I want to know，This is our pursuit？What is the impact of our creativity？What prevents us from the bold innovation？Why do we always follow behind in western enjoy the somebody else create new civilization、New technology and new tools？”

　　杜子德说：“我们要有改变社会的意识、勇气和能力，而不是仅限于过一个好的生活，我们要有对整个社会发展负有责任的抱负，而不是一个旁观者。我们要用我们的智慧使得其他人过得更好的远大理想。”

DuZiDe said：“We must have the change of social consciousness、The courage and the ability，But not limited to only have a good life，We must have the responsibility to the whole social development of ambition，Not a bystander。We use our wisdom makes other people live better lofty ideal。”

　　吴文虎也为那些为了生存而放弃科研的奥赛得主惋惜：“有些人到了国外，为了找一份工作而放弃科研，他们是有了安逸的生活，可是事业上没有太大的成就。”

WuWenHu for those living to give up scientific research of the winner sorry mindset：“Some people go overseas，In order to find a job and give up the scientific research，They have a life of ease，But business is no achievement。”

　　当然，在一些学生身上也看到了希望。

Of course，In some student body also see the hope。
