When I graduated, I was by no means an exceptionally talented web developer. Like many graduates, I was clueless (一无所知的) which 31 to take when I left university, so I took a couple of gap years traveling around North America. After traveling, I returned home and 32 in a restaurant where I was offered an assistant manager role. 33 the offer was appealing, it occurred to me that if I didn't start inspiring my enthusiasm, soon I would find myself relying on a(n) 34 wage and stuck in a career routine.

At this time, in 2002, the digital industry was booming in the UK, and after looking into this area 35 , I realized I was very interested in 36 a career in web development.

So, I asked a friend who owned a pub if I could design a website for him. I even asked for a small payment in advance which 44 me to complete the site quickly and to the 45 standard. 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.

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.
