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.

Wonder why can get mad so easily while your friend smiles all the time? It’s probably because you both have difference personalities(性格>.

Personality is also about how people think, behave, and react (反应> to everything around them from day to day.

So what makes people think and behave in certain ways?

Part of the reason is that people are born like this. A baby gets its blood type, genes (基因> and other physical things when it’s still inside its mother. These things may help decide what the baby will be like.

But one’s personality doesn’t stop here. Family life, school learning and life experiences can also make you the person you are. This doesn’t mean it’s impossible to change your personality. You can always try to make yourself better. Don’t get too worried about your shortcomings (缺点>. Just accept them. This is a good way to start making changes.

If you don’t know how to make friends, find out why. Is it because you’re too shy? Tell yourself to smile at people. Start talking to people using warm greetings.

Don’t give yourself a hard time about it all. It’s not easy to change lifelong(终生的> habits in one night. Keep working at it. One day you’ll see that you can turn over a new leaf and be a new you!

Nowadays, computers and the Internet are playing an important part in our life. Some people even say that they can’t live without them. We usually need to set passwords (密码) when we use the computers. But not all the passwords are safe. We should learn how to make safe passwords.

How can you make your passwords safe? Experts have some tips for you. You’d better remember the tips because they are useful. Here are some tips.

First, make your password out of capital letters. It will be difficult for others to get into your account (账户). It only takes a hacker (黑客) 10 minutes to work out a six-letter password made of small letters. But the same password in capital letters takes 10 hours to work out.

Second, add numbers or symbols (符号) to your password. It may be much safer. Sometimes such passwords are not easy to remember, but they are really safe.

Third, never use personal information for passwords and use different passwords for different accounts. Experts say that a user should change his passwords about every 90 days. In that way, hackers won’t guess your passwords.
