小魔方有大智慧 Small rubik's cube a great wisdom

　　初三时，刘天宇看到师哥玩魔方很“溜”，一下子就迷上了。他诚实地表示：“我体育不好，激烈运动不能参加，玩魔方特别适合我。”就连他自己也没想到，小小的魔方会带来如此好运。

　　对中学生来说，玩魔方可是一件“不务正业”的事情。尤其上高中后，学校课程紧凑，许多同学为了做题，连睡眠时间都不够，刘天宇却利用空余时间跟着网上教程反复练习魔方。

For middle school students，Play rubik's cube but a“Fiddle around”things。Especially after high school，The school course compact，Many students in order to become a problem，Even sleep time is not enough，LiuTianYu but use spare time followed online tutorial practice rubik's cube。

He said rubik's cube is a formula leaves，Through trial and error，He even can calculate recovery steps。And these，More than any other Olympic math problem are more able to exercise his science thinking ability。

　　自此，刘天宇到哪里都要把魔方带在身边。遇到难题，他便放下手头的笔，把玩魔方，娱乐休闲之余，解题思路随之而来；课间10分钟，魔方更是他提神醒脑的“良方”。

Since then，LiuTianYu arrive where all the rubik's cube around with me。problems，And he put down the pen in hand，Play rubik's cube，Entertainment leisure more than the，Problem solving and ideas；Break 10 minutes，Rubik's cube is he the refreshing“Silver bullet”。

　　经常有同学来挑战他，但总是失败而归。同学形容他的手指像上了弹簧一般，还没来得及看清楚，“唰唰”几下，魔方就还原了。就连哈佛面试官也被这项“技能”征服，瞪大双眼直呼：“OK！OK！”

　　刘天宇的自信不是没有根据：在他报考的10所国外知名大学中，包括杜克大学、美国西北大学、范德堡大学等5所向他发出录取通知书。但他不是传统意义上的“好学生”，也不是学校第一名。

LiuTianYu self-confidence is not groundless：In his enter oneself for an examination of 10 foreign famous universities，Including duke university、Northwestern university、Vanderbilt university and other 5 sweep him a letter of admission。But he is not in the traditional sense“Good students”，Is not the school first。

　　刘天宇身形有些偏瘦，戴着一副金丝眼镜。这个给人感觉充满书生气的男孩，从来不做课外习题，提到“题海战术”，他轻蔑地笑了，“一种题型弄懂后，我不会再做相同的题，那是浪费时间。”

LiuTianYu body shape some partial thin，Wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses。This gives a person feel bookish boy，Never do extracurricular exercises，mentioned“Exams tactics”，He scornfully smiled，“A kind of questions after the work out，I won't do the same problem，It's a waste of time。”

　　不花费时间做大量习题，第一名自然也与他无缘。

Don't spend time to do a lot of exercises，The first natural also with him alone。

　　他的父母都是浙江大学理科毕业，他因为小学在奥数竞赛获奖而被南京外国语学校录取，老师称赞他“极具理科天赋”，但自初中后，他便再也没参加过任何竞赛。“我不喜欢竞赛的氛围。与其在这方面浪费时间，不如做其他有意思的事。”

His parents are graduated from zhejiang university science，Because of his primary school in mathematical olympiad and winning the competition by nanjing foreign language school admission，The teacher praised him“Most science talent”，But since junior high school after，And he never participated in any competition。“I don't like the atmosphere of competition。And in this respect a waste of time，As for other interesting things。”

　　在他的印象中，最有意思的事情莫过于看英文原版小说。“一次周末，我在家看（英语）小说，等看完整本书抬头一看表，居然已经过了七八个小时。真是有趣极了。”看着记者惊讶的神情，他倚在沙发上，撇撇嘴说：“难道你不觉得一整天都在看书，是件非常有意思的事情吗？”

In his impression，The most interesting thing to see original English novel。“A weekend，I was watching（English）novel，See such as complete book looked up table，Incredibly has been seven hours。A good。”Look at reporter surprised expression，He was leaning against the sofa，Pie pie said：“Don't you think all day in reading，Is a very interesting thing？”

　　刘天宇自豪地表示，目前已经看过26本原著英语小说，并会在读的时候做上标记加深理解。正是因为这些积累，原本词汇量不够的他，在第三次SAT考试中考了双满分，而他也越发享受原版英文小说带来的阅读快感。

LiuTianYu proudly said，At present have seen and the original English novels，And when reading a mark on deepening understanding。It is precisely because these accumulation，Originally the vocabulary not enough he，The third SAT exam the double full marks，And he also enjoy more original English novel bring reading pleasure。

　　刘天宇的学习“秘籍”是提高课堂效率，在课堂上将所有问题解决，腾出时间补充课外的知识。他的班主任张玉娟回忆道：“刘天宇上课很专心，善于思考，有问题下课就找老师交流解决。”

LiuTianYu learning“techniques”Is to improve the classroom efficiency，In the class will be all problem solving，Make time for supplementary extracurricular knowledge。His teacher in charge ZhangYuJuan recalled：“LiuTianYu class very concentration，thinkers，Have a problem is to find the class teacher exchanges to solve。”

　　刘天宇的学习时间还有一部分分给了所参加的活动。

LiuTianYu study time and the part to participate in the activities。

　　高二上学期，刘天宇参加了学校学生会外联部部长竞选。张玉娟介绍，校学生会竞选与美国总统参选形式相似，需要制作宣传海报、挑选助选团、进行一周拉票及电视演讲，其压力可想而知，而学校正好在此时进行模拟考试。

Last term high，LiuTianYu involved in the school student public relations department minister campaign。ZhangYuJuan introduced，School students campaign and the President of the United States for similar form，Need to make posters、Choose's campaign、For a week soliciting votes and TV speech，One can imagine the pressure，And the school was simulated in this exam。

　　“与他一起参选的同学都考得不理想。他不但圆满当上部长，考试也是名列前茅。”张玉娟觉得有些不可思议，“虽然他没能拿第一，但是能够做到学习与学校工作平衡的学生真的很少。”

“With him his classmates didn't ideal。He not only complete when the minister，The test is placed。”ZhangYuJuan feel some incredible，“Although he failed to take the first，But can do learning and school work balance students really rarely。”

　　说起竞选，刘天宇的第一反应是：“很好玩，很OK！拉赞助的经历对我的人生很有帮助。”

Speaking of campaign，LiuTianYu first reaction was：“fun，Very ok！The experience of sponsorship of my life to have the help very much。”

　　因为“好玩”，他从高一开始就参加了学校模拟联合会（以下简称“模联”），并逐步成为模联主席。刘天宇清晰地记得第一次参加北大模联，当看到题目是“科索沃危机”时，身为新人的他头脑一片空白。

because“fun”，He was from the beginning to the school simulation federation（Hereinafter referred to as“Die league”），And gradually become die union chairman。LiuTianYu clearly remember the first time to join north die league，When he saw the topic is“Kosovo crisis”when，As a new his mind a blank。

　　这让他意识到自己的不足。他向一同前往的学姐取经，阅读大量相关文献资料，并将当时与此相关的各类新闻报刊资料汇总起来。此后，刘天宇时刻提醒自己关注国际事件，努力完善社交和英语演讲能力，无论对手是国内的北大、清华等高校，抑或是哈佛大学，他也无所畏惧，模联的“最佳代表”几乎尽收囊中。而他也在不断实践中，不再满足于只是做个参与者，悉心组织了南京市校际模联，推动模联发展。

This let him aware of our own shortcomings。He asked to go learn elder sister of buddhist scriptures，Reading a lot of literature material，And at that time the related all kinds of newspapers data summary up。Since then，LiuTianYu moment remind yourself to pay attention to the international events，Make great efforts to perfect social and English speaking ability，No matter is the domestic opponents of Peking University、Tsinghua university，Or is Harvard University，He is fearless，Die united“Best represent”Almost all stops the weights of the。And he is in constant practice，No longer content to just do a participant，Carefully organized nanjing intercollegiate die league，Promote die union development。

　　刘天宇这一经历出现在哈佛申请履历上，面对面试官的多方询问，他老练地用英语对答如流。他说：“这些经历远比我拿多少第一、获多少竞赛证书更具有吸引力，也是我真正能被哈佛录取的原因。”

LiuTianYu this experience appeared in harvard application on your resume，In the face of the interviewer's many ask，He sophisticatedly confidently in English。He said：“These experiences than I take how much the first、How many competition won certificate more attractive，I also really can be accepted to harvard reason。”

　　对于“贪玩”的刘天宇，他的父母没有阻止。刘天宇说：“我生活在民主的家庭氛围中。当有意见分歧时，爸妈不会一票否决我的想法，而是坐在一起互相商量，找出一条解决问题的最好途径。这也是我可以自由选择、支配生活的强大动力。”(李芸 记者 李润文)
