阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成句子。

In Chinese culture, the color red stands for many good things, for example, happiness. But writing names and letters with red pens is usually avoided. Why?

In ancient times, red was the symbol of power. Not everyone could write with red pens—only emperors. They would reply to officials’ memorials (奏折) with red pens. The red ink that emperors used was made of cinnabar (朱砂).

Writing with red pens was also related to death. In ancient China, the criminals who were sentenced to death (被判死刑) signed their names with red pens. The records of criminals’ names were all written in red words. Names on the tombstones were red as well. Therefore, it was thought to be unlucky to write names with red pens.

Since red words carry bad meanings, people don’t write letters with red pens.

Nowadays, red pens are used for proof-reading (校对). Teachers mark students’ homework with red pens. So do editors who need to correct mistakes in newspapers and magazines. But writing names or letters with red pens is still a bad idea to many people.

51. The color red ________ many good things in Chinese culture.

52. In ancient times, only ________ could write with red pens.

53. The criminals who were sentenced to death ________ with red pens.

54. People thought it was ________ to write names with red pens.

55. Nowadays, ________ and editors use red pens to do their jobs.
