US executive Martin Shkreli became a symbol of greed when he raised the price of a tablet of Daraprim from $13.50 to $750.

tablet /'tæblɪt/ n. 药片
ingredient /ɪn'griːdɪənt/ n. 成分

"It wasn't terribly hard but that's really the point, I think, because we're high school students," one boy, Charles Jameson, told the BBC.
