13.a quiz show: One Versus One Hundred

　　I only watch TV occasionally, but there are still many TV programs that I

　　like. I recently watched a program called 1 versus 100, which is a quiz show

　　presented on Hunan TV channel.

　　We can easily tell the nature of the program by hearing the name. There

　　will be one challenger versus one hundred opponents at each show. Both the one

　　and the one hundred will be given the same multiple-choice questions. One

　　question is asked at a time, and the one hundred answer first, then it will be

　　the one’s turn. Since the one is alone, during the show he/she is allowed to ask

　　for help three times, including making a phone call, following the majority, or

　　asking the presenter to eliminate one wrong answer.

　　Each time, some of the one hundred will be eliminated if they get the

　　answer wrong. In the end, if the one answers all the questions correctly, the

　　one will win the game and get a big amount of money as the prize. However, if

　　the one fails, the money will be divided by the remaining opponents. Maybe

　　because of the big prize or the competitive atmosphere, the participants are

　　always very excited.

　　The reason I like it is that this quiz show asks some simple questions that

　　we are supposed to know but a lot of people actually have never thought about

　　them. For example, one question asked was about the picture on the back of a 50

　　yuan RMB, but the majority of the one hundred got this simple question wrong. I

　　have seen several shows, but I have never seen the one answered all the

　　questions correctly. I began to wonder that maybe I could enter for the show,

　　too, because I actually knew the answers of a lot of their questions. I think it

　　will be fun if I can try.
