Be aware of those who use the truth to deceive(欺骗)．When someone tells you something that is__1__,but leaves out important information that should be__2__,he can create a false impression.
For example, someone might say, “I just__3__a hundred dollars on the lottery.It was great.I took that dollar ticket back to the store and__4__it in for one hundred dollars! ”
This guy is a winner,__5__?Maybe, maybe not.We then discover that he bought two hundred__6__,and only one was a winner.He's really a big__7__!
He didn't say anything that was__8__,but he deliberately left out some important__9__.That's called a half－truth.Half－truths are not technically__10__,but they are just as not__11__.
Untrustworthy candidates in__12__campaigns often use this tactic(手段).Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term, the state lost one million jobs and__13__three million jobs.Then she__14__another term.One of her opponents runs an ad__15__,“During Governor Smith's term, the state lost one million jobs! ”That's true.__16__,an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith's term, the state had a net gain of__17__million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half－truths.It's__18__the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the__19__.An ad might boast, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.”It__20__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.
