An Effective Commercial

I have to admit that I rarely watch commercials, since most of them are boring and stupid. When watching commercials, we are ―learning‖ that consumption makes us happy and that we need to buy everything. This really makes me 36 . So when I watch commercials I usually start thinking of other things, and don’t hear a 37 . Recently, however, a commercial for a major retail (零售) store got my 38 . It gave me a deep impression, and 39 me of the best things about Christmas.

A young lady is talking over the phone to her family right before Christmas. She is obviously living away from her family and 40 them. She is upset because she won’t be with them for the holidays.
