It proved to be a great website, and a good investment for my friend, as it attracted new customers. Eventually, I   46   a local web development agency — which had already turned me down twice! — to take a look at my work. The company was   47   that I was not going to give up on my passion, and decided to take me   48 .
After being offered the post, I've learned when it comes to careers, persistence often   49  off. It demonstrates enthusiasm, commitment and drive; all attractive   50   in the eyes of an employer. So, don't give up if you don't get the placement or role first time round — sometimes persistence is all it takes to catch an employer's eye.

A
The fourth round of heavy smog to hit Beijing in four weeks has sent more people to the hospital with respiratory（呼吸的） illnesses and led to calls for laws to control the pollution.
Pan Shiyi, a famous real estate developer said he is planning to propose a Clean Air Act to the local government. As a representative to the Beijing Municipal People's Congress, he started an online survey at 9:20 a.m..Within three hours, more than 25,000 web users, or 99 percent of total respondents, welcomed his proposal on Sina Weibo, China's Twitter.
They have good reasons to stand alongside Pan. The latest round of haze reduced visibility to under 500 meters in many parts of the city. The smog has also led to a great increase in respiratory illnesses, particularly among children and the elderly. Anxious parents and doctors almost all blame the smoggy air for the illnesses. Though most schoolchildren are home for the winter holidays, the bad air can easily move indoors. Besides, ordinary medical masks fail to provide adequate protection, so some people have turned to gas masks and respirators.
