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.

In 2014, the world paused to remember a cultural giant on April 17. Nobel Prize winning writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez died on that day at the age of 87.

Garcia Marquez was born in Colombia (哥伦比亚), but lived in Mexico for more than 30 years. He is one of the 20th century’s most famous writers. He is best known for his novel, One Hundred Years of Solitude (《百年孤独》). It tells the story of a family over several generations. The story is a metaphor (暗喻) for the development of Colombia since the 19th century. The novel has sold about 50 million copies.

He wrote in a style called “magical realism (魔幻现实主义)” This style blends (融合) fantasy and reality. In such works, people live regular lives during a certain period of time in history. But meanwhile, magical things happen to them.

In Garcia Marquez’s works, a child is born with a pig’s tail, and a couple finds an old man with big wings in their courtyard. He said he was inspired by childhood stories told by his grandmother. She believed that everything was possible. She often told him stories about ghosts in their house.

But his works are quite serious. He wrote during a period when much of Latin America was suffering from a civil war. Everyday life in Colombia was filled with chaos (混乱). That’s why magical realism works well.

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.

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. "
