【初级水平】：基础对话 Conversation
场景：小华和小红好不容易找到一元老冰棍吃了起来，打开微博一看，两人都炸毛了，很想再考一次高考。
Xiaohua：I like the fresh taste of the ice-lolly. It makes me feel homesick.
小华：我喜欢这冰棍的味道。有种想家的感觉。
Xiaohong：But when you hear the news, it'll remind you of high-school time.
小红：你听完这消息，会让你想回到高中。
Xiaohua：What’s that about？
小华：新闻说啥了？
Xiaohong：A Gaokao taker from Guangdong province earned 2 million yuan for the past three years.
小红：广东省一高考考生三年高考，挣了200万。
Xiaohua：That’s it? Don't be cheated by the clickbait, okay？
小华：就这？别被标题党骗了，好吗？
Xiaohong：No. I'm just reading the news to you. I was not born yesterday.
小红：我才不会呢，我是给你读新闻。我又不是三岁小孩。
Xiaohua：Sure enough, you were the once top scorer of your province. What's your opinion about this？
小华：你果然是当年的高考省状元啊。你有何高见？
Xiaohong：There must be some reasons why he refused the letters of admission to Peking University. For example, maybe he didn't like the major. I think it's not for money.
小红：他三次拒绝读北大，其中必有原因。比如：他不喜欢他被录取的专业。我觉得不是为了钱（才复读）。
Xiaohua：That’s right. He was awarded 2 million yuan. That's a lot.
小华：嗯，有道理。他的确被奖励了200万。好多钱啊。

【中高级水平】：Mini-talk
场景：小红不愿说太多，但是自己有一些想法，就写在日记本上了。
We're easily attracted by those clickbait instead of investigative pieces. According to Merrium-Webster, clickbait is something designed to make readers want to click on a hyperlink especially when the link leads to content of dubious value or interest.
我们很容易被这些标题党所吸引，而不是调查文章。根据《韦氏词典》的说法，标题党是一种旨在让读者想要点击超链接的东西，尤其是当链接指向价值或兴趣可疑的内容时。
The number “2 million” attracted readers' attention and they will feel agitated after reading the piece of news without thinking of the real situation or the reasons behind it. For example, 2 million yuan is not illegal, so why not? Another example, Lao Wang takes Gaokao for 26 times but fails. Is that against the law? So, it's okay for this Gaokao taker to redo the third year of high school for three times in order to be admitted to the major he likes. 2 million is the core of the clickbait.
200万这个数字吸引了读者的注意力，他们在阅读这条新闻后会感到不安，而不去想真实的情况或背后的原因。比如，200万不违法，为什么不呢? 再比如，老王参加了26次高考都不及格，这犯法吗? 所以，广东高考考生可以重读高三三次，想考上自己喜欢的专业，这是可以的呀。200万是“标题党”的核心。
But if this Gaokao taker takes advantage of Gaokao, that will be another case. It seems like a complicated situation. For example, for many IELTS or TOEFL takers, they decide to take more than once to get the score they want. If the test taker cheats in the test, he/she will be banned for future testing, at least 2 years.
但如果这个高考考生占高考的便宜，那就是另一回事了。这看起来情况很复杂。例如，对于许多雅思或托福考生来说，他们决定参加多次考试来获得他们想要的分数。如果考生在考试中作弊，将被禁止参加今后的考试，至少2年。
So, do you think a test taker should be banned for retaking the test repeatedly without breaking the existing rules?
那么，你认为是不是应该禁止考生在不违反现有规则的情况下反复参加考试吗?
