Enterprises, especially those targeting young customers, have realized the value of marketing on micro blogs. Ads, if forwarded by popular bloggers, will enjoy widespread Internet coverage. Therefore, it appears that running a popular micro blog and forwarding several ads per day is a financial rewarding career choice nowadays. However, in order to be successful, you need to ensure that your micro blog has a large number of followers. Launching a micro blogging sensation can be tough for rookies(新手)。

In Zhao’s opinion, it’s not necessary to come up with a totally original micro blog. “ You can publish a popular post you have found in other online communities on your micro blog. But to become a sensation, you have to be the first one to publish the post,” said Zhao.

Therefore, a micro blogger needs to be aware enough to sense a post’s potential to become an online sensation. He or she also needs to be daring enough to publish potentially controversial posts or launch activities which could be risky.

Running a popular micro blog is an exhausting job, both physically and mentally. Publishing ads also requires energy and commitment. In order to hunt for the most up-to-date, hot topics online, Zhao has to spend almost all of his spare time surfing the Internet. He often stays up late.

56. The best title of the passage is _________.

A. Micro Blogger Strikes Gold

B. The powerful Micro Blog



 C. Zhao Cheng--- a Post-90s

D. How to Run a Popular Micro Blog



57. We can know from the passage that________.

A. Zhao tries to forward as many ads as possible in his blog



 B. Zhao’s parents once thought little of his micro-blog



 C. Zhao has given up to further his study in a university



 D. Zhao thinks it easy to launch a micro blogging sensation



58. According to the passage, enterprises like marketing on micro blogs because________.

A. the price of advertising on micro blogs is much lower



 B. ads on micro blogs can be spread more widely



 C. young customers only pay attention to ads online



 D. it’s much easier to advertise on micro blogs



59. Zhao Cheng often stays up late in order to_________.

A. forward ads on his micro blogs



 B. escape from his parents’ supervision



 C. collect proper topics for his micro blogs



 D. make up the time spend on micro blogs

Lauren,

As the big weekend approaches I am more and more worried that I might break up during my toast so as a pre-emptive strike(先发制人) please accept this letter and gifts. My feeling about you and your marriage are personal and while I hope to share the feelings with those at the dinner, it’s more important to me that you realize how much I love you and how proud I am of the amazing woman you have become.

My memory for specifics is terrible but my memory for how precious you were as a child is clear. I loved cradling you in my arms in the morning when you awoke for a bottle, carrying your sleepy body over my shoulder when you were too tired to walk, tossing you high in the air in the pool, and reading kids books with you on my lap. From the first days you were quiet, beautiful, and kind. You were thoughtful, sensitive, caring and loving. You were and still are an angel.

When I think of you as an adult, I think of your big heart. It’s your heart that has led you to be a bright point of light causing millions of meals to be served to hungry kids. It is your heart that has led you to your vegetarian lifestyle. It is your heart that helps you care for us. For these reasons I have selected three hearts as a gift to you.

One heart is a locket (吊坠) with a picture of you and me together. It’s a reminder that of the men in your life I loved you first and will always love you, forever. The second heart is made of jade that has the Chinese character “Fu”. Jade represents luck
