Fifteen years ag, I tk a summer vacatin in Lecce in suthern Italy. After climbing up a hill fr a panramic (全景的) view f the blue sea, white buildings and green live trees, I paused t catch my breath and then psitined myself t take the best pht f this panrama.
Unfrtunately, just as I tk ut my camera, a wman apprached frm behind, and planted herself right in frnt f my view. Like me, this wman was here t stp, sigh and appreciate the view.
Patient as I was, after abut 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the sht I wuld eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it t much t ask her t mve s I culd take just ne picture f the landscape? Sure, I culd have asked her, but smething prevented me frm ding s. She seemed s cntent in her bservatin. I didn't want t mess with that.
Anther 15 minutes passed and I grew bred. The wman was still there. I decided t take the pht anyway. And nw when I lk at it, I think her presence in the pht is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful n its wn, smehw cmes t life and breathes because this wman is engaging with it. This pht, with the unique beauty that unflded befre me and that wman wh “ruined” it, nw hangs n a wall in my bedrm. What wuld she think if she knew that her figure is captured (捕捉) and frzen n sme stranger's bedrm wall? A bedrm, after all, is a very private space, in which sme wman I dn't even knw has been immrtalized (使……永存) . In sme ways, she lives in my huse.
Perhaps we all live in each thers' spaces. Perhaps this is what phts are fr: t remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a cmmn desire fr pleasure, fr cnnectin, fr smething that is greater than us.
That pht is a reminder, a captured mment, an unspken cnversatin between tw wmen, separated nly by a thin square f glass.
28. What happened when the authr was abut t take a pht?
A. Her camera stpped wrking. B. A wman blcked her view.
C. Smene asked her t leave. D. A friend apprached frm behind.
29. Accrding t the authr, the wman was prbably ________.
A. enjying herself B. lsing her patience
C. waiting fr the sunset D. thinking abut her past
30. In the authr's pinin, what makes the pht s alive?
A. The rich clr f the landscape. B. The perfect psitining f the camera.
C. The wman's existence in the pht.D. The sft sunlight that summer day.
31. The pht n the bedrm wall allws the authr t better understand ________.
A. the need t be clse t nature B. the imprtance f private space
C. the jy f the vacatin in Italy D. the shared passin fr beauty

Advertising plays a rle in the cmpetitive business wrld. Many industries take advantage f the pwer f advertising t attract r t win custmers away frm their business cmpetitrs. The influence f advertising is s huge that it causes many peple t buy things that they dn't want at the start.
Advertising encurages peple t buy things they dn't want thrugh misleading ideas. Advertising is prven t be a successful tl t stress the features f their prduct t the public even thugh it's regarded undesirable such as cigarettes, drugs, alchls and s n. Fr example, Dunhill, a cigarette cmpany which spnsrs many ftball teams, seems t be prmting cigarettes t the public. Withut the spnsrship (资助) , the cmpany will be less knwn t the public, resulting in fewer sales f cigarettes.
Besides that, advertising has a large influence n the decisins made by the peple in their everyday life. Many businesses use advertising as a frm f prmting t create awareness abut their prduct in the market. Fr instance, in a fast fd industry, the intrductin f a new flavr f burger needs advertising t reach the public while the ther burgers require advertising t increase sales. Children, especially, are easily influenced by advertisements and will have the desire t dine at fast fd restaurants after that. Althugh fast fd is bad fr health, it has successfully becme appealing t the public thrugh advertising.
Hwever, advertising plays a part in helping custmers t cmpare a prduct in terms f price, quality, reliability and s n. Withut advertising, it will be very difficult fr custmers t judge the wrthiness f a prduct. Fr example, advertisements' published by varius cmpanies have given the custmers the pprtunity t chse wisely when purchasing an item. Withut the pwer f advertising, custmers will be stuck t a brand which may nt ffer the best chice.
