Why People Use Pseudonyms（假名字）?
You can’t choose the name you are given at birth, but in many countries you can change it legally when you reach adulthood. Of course, most people never change their names _________ (51) they feel unhappy about them. However, some people do _________ (52) this course of action—particularly artists! What makes an artist want to change their name? Sometimes it’s for purely _________ (53) reasons, such as the Nobel Prize winning poet from Chile, Neftalii Reyes. He didn’t want his father to _________ (54) he was writing poetry, so he changed his name to Pablo Neruda when he was a young man. _________ (55) other times the reason may appear strange; take the case of the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa, _________ (56) wrote under 75 different names. The reason? “When I use a different name, I always write in a different way,” he explained.

Another reason may be practicality：in the past, women found it very difficult to get published. To _________ (65) this situation, they sometimes gave themselves men’s names. So the English author Mary Ann Evans became George Eliot, and she did get her books published!
