Description:
The gaokao is widely considered the most important exam Chinese students will face in their lifetimes. The test can make or break a young person’s future, since their scores largely determine if and where they can attend university and what areas of study they can pursue. While many critics of the gaokao say preparing for it is too gruelling, others still consider the exam a relatively fair system of meritocracy – especially for students from less-privileged socio-economic backgrounds.

_giant-flying-joro-spiders-expanding-in-east-coast-what-is-a-joro-spider.webp "The Joro spiders, as they are known, spawn massive webs, have a leg span of up to 4 inches and a vibrant yellow and black coloration.<br/>Joro spiders are native to Japan and Asia but have been spotted in states including Georgia, Tennessee and the Carolinas. Sightings of these creepy crawlers have even been confirmed as far north as Maryland.<br/><br/>Earlier this year, New Jersey Pest Control warned about the impending presence of the spider in the state, and one ecologist told SI Live that it’s a matter of when, not if, the spiders show up in New York City.<br/><br/>Joro spiders are light enough to parachute through the air, using wind currents to travel up to 100 miles at a time, essentially allowing them to “fly.”<br/><br/>After spotting a Joro spider three years ago in his backyard, Coyle, an assistant professor of forest health and invasive species at Clemson University, sought to research the species<br/><br/>Even though Coyle confirmed that the Joro spiders are venomous, he explained the venom is reserved for the critters who get caught up in their webs.<br/><br/>“They’re not dangerous to humans,” Coyle said. “They’re super annoying because they kind of get all over everything and they’re, they’re more than happy to put a web on your porch or your deck or your carport or your landscaping. But as far as we know, there’s not been any instances of people getting bit or pets getting bit.”<br/><br/>Because they are not aggressive species, Coyle suggested a broom to sweep the spider and web away. He also said that when the Joro spiders are fully grown, they’re too heavy to fly, so these spiders won’t be dropping from the sky any time soon.<br/><br/>But, with a one-year lifespan, they don’t get big until October — just in time for Halloween, making “spooky season” a whole lot more interesting")
