Pulitzer was born in Makó,Hungary.At 17,Pulitzer attempted to join the Austrian army.but was turned down due to age,bad health and poor eyesight.Disappointed but still with hope,he traveled first to Paris and then to London,hoping to join the army there.And he was rejected for the same reasons.Finally,he moved to the United States in 1846and served in the Lincoln Army when he was just 18until the end of the American Civil War.After the war he settled in St.Louis Missouri,where in 1868he started working as a reporter for a German-language daily newspaper,the Westliche Post fro﹩3,000.Then,in 1879,he bought the St.Louis Dispatch for﹩2,700and merged (合作) the two papers as the St.Louis Post-Dispatch,which remained St.Louis'daily newspaper.He bought the New York World in 1883,which turned out to be a successful decision,and which made Pulitzer wealthy.In 1885,he was elected to the U.S.House of Representatives,but resigned after a few months'service.In 1895the New York World introduced the first newspaper comic printed with color.Under Pulitzer's leadership circulation (發(fā)行量) grew from 15,000to 600,000,making it the largest newspaper in the country.But unfortunately from 1890,Pulitzer's already failing health worsened rapidly and he with drew from direct management of the newspaper,and simply gave some instructions from his vacation houses in Maine or in New York.At the ago of some instructions from his vacation houses in Maine or in New York.At the age of forty,he was struck blind,but he still continued to run his press empire for twenty-two more years.
In 1892,Pulitzer offered Columbia University's president money to set up the world's first school of journalism.But the university turned down the offer.In 1902,Columbia's new president willingly accepted the plan for a school and prizes,but it would not be until after Pulitzer's death that this dream would come true.Pulitzer left the university﹩2million in his will,which led to the creation in 1912of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.And up till now,Columbia's Graduate School of Journalism still remains one of the most famous in the world.
Joseph Pulitzer died aboard his sailing boat in 1911.He was buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery in The Bronx,New York.In 1917.the first Pulitzer Prizes were awarded,as Pulitzer wished to.
In 1989,in honor of his great achievements and contributions,Pulitzer was included in the St.Louis Walk of Fame.

We need more men in our hospital,not as doctors,but as nurses.Over the last few years,I have found that having male nurses is a real bonus,and they definitely have a place in our hospital.There are several reasons for wanting male nurses here,not only because half the population in our country is male.Men (41)Gexcellent carers and are (42)Cgood at taking care of others.In fact,many men take good care of their children,wives,parents,sisters,brothers,and even their nieces and nephews.
Another reason that men can become great nurses is that in general,men are (43)Hstronger than women.Male nurses can help (44)Eheavy objects,or if,for example,a patient cannot move from the waist down,male nurses can help move the patient into a comfortable (45)J.Also,male nurses can be a great help in keeping patients (46)Bwhile they receive painful treatment,such as when bandages covering wounds are changed.Another advantage to having male nurses is that they see things from a different (47)Ffrom women and bring a male way of thinking to problem-solving.This allows the hospital to work more effectively than if we only (48)Iproblems one way.Having a mix of male and female nurses also helps create a fun atmosphere,which helps patients recover faster.
Currently,only 7 percent of our nursing staff are men; this number is far too low,and the problem requires correction.Having more male nurses will help create a positive(49)Dbetween male and female staff,and it will (50)Kpatients the choice of a male or female carer.I am determined to take on more male nurses here at Central Hospital.I will be organizing an open day soon to allow interested young men to visit our hospital and find out more about nursing.Hopefully,we will have more male nurses in our hospital soon!

1.To tweet,or not to tweet?
A guide to the social networking/microblogging service Tewitter
SINCE its creation in 2006,Twitter,the social networking service,has taken cyber space by storm.At first glance it might seem like Facebook,but Twitter is in a league of its own,connecting people with fast-paced updates.It has become a place for activities,celebrities,businesses and everyday people to let others know about videos,opinions,interesting news,advertisements-and,yes what they are eating for lunch.
Twitter:n.a(chǎn) free social networking service that connects users through fast-paced status updates.Twitter-er:n.one who uses Twitter.Tweet:n.short updates or messages,of 140characters or less,wh ich are posted on your profile and sent to your followers.Retweet (RT):n.unofficial Twitter feature that indicates a re-posting of a tweet from another user.Often uses the text RT@username (of the original source) before the post.Follower:n.one who receives another user's updates on his or her Twitter profile.Direct message:n.a(chǎn) private message sent from one Twitter-er to another.
The phenomenon includes a host of new vocabulary terms and concepts that every self-respecting Twitter-er should know.Here's a quick course on Twitter.
So you've finally been swept up by the techno-tide and gotten a Twitter account.But what to write?Who knew 140characters could be so overwhelming?
Darren Rowse of the TwiTip blog(www.twitip.com) recommends a two-step tweeting process:figure out what your follows want,and then give it to them.Some combination of cool links,conversation-starting quotes or questions,retweets and photos works well,Rowse writes.
Keep in mind that Twitter doesn't directly offer photo hosting.You will need to use a third-party site like TwitPic (www.twitip.com) to upload your photos.Other sites,like TwitVid (tweetdeck.com/beta) can be used to post videos.
If you th ink the Twitter Web Site too complicated,try a Twiiter client-Tweetdeck(tweetdeck.Com/beta) and the Mac-only Tweetie(www.stebits.com)are popular,and both also are available as iPhone apps(應(yīng)用程序).
Even without an iphone,you can update you Twitter on the go.After adding your phone number to your Twitter account,you can text updates to 40404(check Twitter's Web site for numbers to use outside the United States)But no matter how you tweet,remember that people can see what you post,and Twitter might not be the best place to complain about your boss,even if you make your Twitter private,your followers may not share your sense of discretion.
Twitter is crowded with celebrith accounts.The famous,who once avoided the media in their private lives,are posting everything on Twitter for all the cyber world to see,gathering followers in the millions.Who's leading the celebrity pack?TwitterCounter(www.twittercounter.com),a site that tracks the most popular Twitter users,lists Ashton Kuntcher and former fashion model,as the nost popular Twitter-er with,as of our publication date,2,691,112followers.
