阅读下面的短文,从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。
I sat alone in the newsroom and kept thinking: "How could a reporter use a fake headline(假标题)?"
Olivia and I worked in our school newspaper The Beacon and we were 36 there. With fewer readers reading the newspaper, how to make it popular again became our headache.
Days ago, Mr Winston asked 37 to go to his office. "Olivia, Mia, I hear our school dining hall has made some changes. Take the chance and write a report about it. It might make people 38."
Olivia and I walked into the dining hall. We noticed a new food line. "39 did the dining hall set up a new line?" asked Olivia. "It's for students with food allergies. If they eat the wrong food, they could get ill," a worker came up and explained. "We try our best to keep them 40." I was touched and started taking notes.
When we left the dining hall, Olivia 41 my notebook. "I got a perfect headline! DINING HALL ALMOST POISONS(毒害) STUDENTS!"
"What? That's 42 the fact! Give my notebook back!" I shouted.
Olivia refused. "If we 43 get more students reading it, The Beacon might close down! This headline can make a difference. It's not real 44 it's a way to stop The Beacon from dying!"
...
Suddenly, Mr Winston came into the newsroom. His voice brought me back from the memory(回忆). "Mia, have you completed your 45?"
I shook my head and told him what happened between Olivia and me.
"You're right! 46 wants to read a fake headline," Mr Winston encouraged. With his words, I was even more 47 of my idea. I wrote down a new headline immediately: "THE HIDDEN HEROES OF OUR DINING HALL."
Finally, the paper came out. Many students did read it! "I never knew about the 48 behind the special food line," one wrote to us. Mr Winston smiled at me, "You 49 The Beacon!"
"I just did what a real reporter would do!" I said 50.
