They say that "seeing is believing", but when it comes to TV commercials, this is not always the case.

The world's leading mobile phone maker, Nokia, released its latest model Lumia 920 on Sept. 5. The smart phone was supposed to possess an advanced camera, which let customers shoot better pictures at night and record stabilized videos. To show how well these features work, the Finnish company released an ad showing a man and a woman riding bicycles side by side, with the man taking a video of the woman on the phone. However, several hours later, technology website The Verge uncovered that the video was neither shot with the new product, nor shot from someone riding a bicycle. Instead, someone in a lorry next to the woman took the video using a professional video camera.

       The next day Nokia apologized, "In an effort to demonstrate the benefits of visual image stabilization, we produced a video that simulates（看起来像）what we will be able to deliver." Indeed, what we have seen in ads is more or less a simulation——a practice called "advertising photography".

       McDonald's video in June explained the "art". It showed how its burgers get dolled up（装扮）before going on camera. Like models preparing for a magazine cover shoot, burgers also get designed in a photography studio. They are prepared for hours and put together with absolute precision so they look their best before photo shoots. Each ingredient, such as onions and sauce, is carefully put into place to make the burger look much juicier, bigger and tastier. Computer software Photoshop is also used to add visual effects.

       So don't feel ____________________when you get a burger that never looks like what you see in ads.

I arrived in the classroom，ready to share my knowledge and experience with 76 students who would be my English literature class. Having taught in the US for 17 years，I have no doubt about my ability to hold their attention and to impress on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.

    I was shocked when the monitor shouted,“stand up!” The entire class rose as I entered the room and l was somewhat confused about how to get them to sit down again，but once the embarrassment(尴尬) was over, I quickly regained my calmness and admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a strong sense of achievement.

    My students kept diaries. However, as I read them the rosy glow was gradually replaced by a strong sense of sadness．The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today perhaps her next lecture will be better.” Greatly surprised．I read diary after diary, each expressing a similar theme “Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire Western philosophy and laid the historical background for all the works we will study in class,” I complained. “How should they say I didn’t teach them anything?”

    It was a long term, and it gradually became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as those of my students. I thought a teacher’s job was to raise interesting questions and provide enough background so that students could draw their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide exact in formation as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!

    However, I also learned a lot，and the experience with my Chinese students has made me a better American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.
