51、ude some reviews(评论,检查) of students stories in the latest school paper. Professor Cullen was known for her rough criticism. Impressing her was very hard but I wanted to be the first to do so.

53、urned my attention back to my story and saw the five stars at the end of the review that I had not read yet. I looked through the review written by Professor Cullen.

54、nt as good as I thought I was and that my talent was not enough to cover up my lack of wring skills .But this review proved that I was truly a good writer and that there was a future ahead of me in the field of fiction writing.

59、 following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Weibo, or micro-blogs, the Chinese version of Twitter, has become a way of life in China, especially for the young.Our train bumped into something. Our carriage ha
60、s fallen onto its side. Children are screaming. Come to help us please! Come fast!This is the first message sent from a high-speed train that crashed on July 23rd, 2011 in Chinas Zhejiang province.Not only was it a cry for help, which saved tens of lives, but it also contributed to a wave of unprece
61、dented(史无前例) “citizen journalism” on Chinas micro-blogs. Within ten hours, the message was reported over one-hundred-thousand times, which was something the girl, Xiao Yang, who wrote it had never imagined. She said, “I just wanted to survive at that moment, so I posted a message on Weibo. I didnt k
62、now it would help us to be rescued so quickly.”After the crash, Chinas twenty million strong micro-bloggers demonstrated（表露） tremendous and unfamiliar power. They joined rescue efforts, helped survivors and monitored the officials investigating the accident.As with traditional media, Weibo functions
63、 as a mirror on society, sparking（引发） debates and enlightening discussions. But whats different about the micro-blogging site is that anyone-not just journalists-can take a photo, record a video clip or write a quick note about what is happening around them.I can fully accept this new Weibo lifestyl
64、e. Almost everyone has Weibo now. I read news on Weibo and it helps me with my life. I also write news sometimes.Clearly, Weibo enables millions of Chinese to become “citizen journalists”, opening them up to fresh news and views on their community, country and world.This has lead to many micro-blogg
65、ers keeping a closer eye on the authorities（当局）. In response, the government is also using Weibo as a tool to respond to citizens queries(质询). And in Beijing, micro-bloggers have already left thousands of messages, urging the government to solve problem they consider urgent.Wang Hui, general directo
66、r of Beijing Information Office, said, “Weibo has created a platform for government officials to better understand what the citizens are thinking about and what they really need. This bottom-to-up information transmission（传输） channel is innovative（创新的） and will become a new trend for government offi
67、cials to provide better services for the people.”But, however compelling(引人注目的)Weibo may be, much information it provides turns out to be rumors. Weibo, as a platform, not only helps the Chinese people express their views, but also trains the government in facing public opinion.Meanwhile, for Xiao Y
68、ang, a simple message saved her life. And for millions of others, Weibo means much more than just a simple touch on a smart phone.Title: Weibo helps Chinese (71) viewsPassage outline Supporting detailsThe Chinese version of TwitterWeibo has become a new way of life, especially for (72) _ _ in China.

73、ore you take a big step by becoming a journalist, please make sure you are aware that the climate for newspaper journalists is especially tough right now. Once you are sure that a journalism career is right for you, heres what you need to do. Education comes first. Besides understanding how to write
