A few days ago, I bought some ink for my printer at my favorite $1 Supermarket, which sold everything from fresh produce to birthday cards at one dollar. Then I found a better _______ at a computer store. So I went back to the supermarket to _______ it for some other products. With nobody telling me exactly what to do, I put the ink into a plastic bag, tied it up, placed the bag into a push-cart and started shopping.

I was midway through when a clerk suddenly stopped me. "You are not allowed to carry a bag around in this store. Open it and show me the thing!" she yelled coldly.

_______, I opened the bag and showed the ink to her. "I'm returning it. "I said.

"You should have left the bag with the clerk upon entry. Let me see your receipt!" she asked. I did as told, looking around, embarrassed as if everyone was laughing at me. "Perhaps in the future you'll learn how to follow the store rules." she added.

By the time I finished shopping, I was angry. How dare she treat me as a _______? I went looking for her and asked for her _______. She mumbled (嘀咕) something. I asked her again, and this time I heard "Ursula."

"Ursula, what?" I asked. She yelled at me, "Ursula!" and stormed away.

"This woman is about to become fired, "I _______ when I got home. I rang their headquarters (总部). I described my unpleasant experience to the person in charge. She was understanding, "Our employees (雇员) are taught to be _______. Give me your phone number and I will ring you back. "

She did two days later. "I'm sorry," she said, "but there's no Ursula at that supermarket. Can you describe her so that I can find out who she is? I assure you, we do not stand rude behavior, nor do we stand_______to our customers. "

By this time, I had calmed down. I didn't really want the employee to lose her job. So I told her to forget about it.

When people say ‘culture’, we think of art and history. But one very famous symbol in American culture is a cartoon. We all know and love the black mouse with two large round ears ―Mickey Mouse. Over 80 years ago, he first appeared in the cartoon Steamboat Willie. When this cartoon came out in New York on November 18, 1928, it was the first cartoon with sound and music. The man behind Mickey was Walt Disney. He became very rich and successful. In the 1930s, he made 87 cartoons with Mickey.

Some people might ask how this cartoon animal became so popular. One of the main reasons is that Mickey was like a common man, but he always tried to face any danger. In his early films, Mickey was unlucky and had many problems such as losing his house or girlfriend, Minnie. However, he was always ready to try his best. People went to the cinema to see the ‘little man’ win. Most of them wanted to be like Mickey.

On November 18, 1979, Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Today’s cartoons are usually not so simple as little Mickey Mouse, but everyone still knows and loves him. Who has a pair of ears more famous than Mickey’s?

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

The world's leading mobile phone maker, Apple, published its latest model Iphone XS on September 13th. The smart phone was supposed to own an advanced camera, which lets customers shoot better pictures at night and record stabilized(稳定的)videos. To show how well these features work, the company published 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 Apple apologized, "In an effort to show the benefits of visual image stabilization, we produced a video that looks like 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 very carefully 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 surprised when you get a burger that never looks like what you see in ads.
