Beware of those who use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is 36 , but leaves out important information that should be 37 , he can create a false impression. For example, someone might say, “I just 38    a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and     39 it in for one hundred dollars!” This guy’s a winner, 40 ? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred 41 , and only one was a winner. He’s really a big 42 ! He didn’t say anything that was 43 , but he deliberately left out some important 44 . That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically 45 , but they are just as not 46 . Untrustworthy candidates in 47 campaigns often use this tactic（策略，手段）. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and 48 three million jobs. Then she 49 another term. One of her opponents runs an ad 50 , “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. 51 , an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of 52 million jobs.” Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s 53 the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the 54 . An ad might boast, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It 55 to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation. This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well. 小题1: A．false B．true C．interesting D．boring 小题2: A．included B．contained C．involved D．referred 小题3: A．lost B．found C．donated D．won 小题4: A．changed B．took C．turned D．made 小题5: A．right B．well C．really D．though 小题6: A．books B．papers C．tickets D．balls 小题7: A．winner B．loser C．fighter D．thinker 小题8: A．true B．real C．doubtful D．false 小题9: A．details B．information C．mistakes D．errors 小题10: A．stories B．truth C．facts D．lies 小题11: A．pleasant B．exciting C．honest D．clever 小题12: A．political B．commercial C．personal D．public 小题13: A．stopped B．found C．avoided D．gained 小题14: A．seeks B．gets C．achieves D．searches 小题15: A．writing B．reading C．saying D．speaking 小题16: A．Otherwise B．However C．In fact D．This way 小题17: A．one B．two C．three D．four 小题18: A．for B．to C．against D．in 小题19: A．words B．facts C．data D．truth 小题20: A．fails B．tries C．manages D．plans
