　　军事训练暂停、航班重新调整时间、紧急呼叫电话为迟到考生预留……韩国几十万考生近日参加了竞争激烈的高考。

　　韩国是一个很重视教育的*。每年高考时，全社会都在总动员，保证高考顺利举行。在韩国，高考被认为是决定考生未来职业和婚姻前景等所有前程的关键时刻。

　　高考当天，韩国各城市的警车和摩托车都严阵以待，做好准备将有可能迟到的考生送到考场。考试在周四上午8点40开始。

　　比如，警方曾接到一位父亲的求救电话，说自己车胎爆胎，撞到了栏杆上。当时他正在釜山送18岁的女儿参加高考。

　　据首尔CBS电台报道，警察把考生送往附近医院治疗，接着紧急把她送到考试中心。

　　韩国教育部表示，超过66.85万考生在1191个考试中心参加了为期一天的大学学生能力标准化测验。

　　民航当局表示，共有83架航班调整了时间，以避免起降噪音影响上午和下午进行的语言听力测试。

　　韩国股市的开盘和收盘时间延后一小时，很多政府部门和私人公司的上班时间也相应推后，避免上下班交通拥堵，这样考生就能准时到达考场了。

　　在韩国现在的教育制度下，学生们的竞争非常激烈，考试高分对进入名牌大学至关重要，也对毕业后找到好工作至关重要。

　　新闻上提供了特别午餐食谱，非常好消化，而且富含能让考生集中精力的营养元素。

　　家长们焦虑地等候在考场门外，或者去寺庙和教堂为孩子们祈祷。

　　据称，高考带来的压力导致韩国每年有几十名学生自杀，每年高考时分也通常是自杀高峰。

　　韩国学生在校读书时大多要在学费高昂的私人补习学校学习到深夜，以便在激烈的高考竞争中取胜，考入名牌大学。
