Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺骗)?When someone tells you something that is true,but leaves out important information that should be included,he can give you a false picture.

For example,someone might say,“I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery.It was great.I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”

This guy is a winner,right?May be,maybe not.We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets,and only one was a winner.He's really a big loser!

He didn't say anything that was false,but he left out important information on purpose.That's called a half?truth.Half?truths are not technically lies,but they are just as dishonest.

Some politicians often use this trick.Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term.Her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs.Then she seeks another term.One of her opponents(对手)says,“During Governor Smith's term,the state lost one million jobs!”That's true.However,an honest statement would have been,“During Governor Smith's term,the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”

Advertisers will sometimes use half?truths.It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth.An advertisement might say,“Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.”It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.

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.

1.We may infer that the writer thinks people should ________.

A. buy lottery tickets B. make use of half?truths

C. not take anything at false value D. not trust the Yucky Company

2.What do the underlined words “net gain” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A. final increase B. big advantage C. large share D. total saving

3.What can we know from the example of the Yucky Pill advertisement?

A. False statements are easy to see through B. Half?truths are often used to mislead people.

C. Doctors like to act in advertisements. D. Advertisements are based on facts.

4.What's the main idea of the passage?

A. We shouldn't trust anyone,because they may leave out important information.

B. The people who buy lottery often tell lies.

C. We should consider what the advertisers say carefully before buying.

D. Sometimes people may use the truth to lie.

A boy without ears was often laughed at at school,so he often asked his parents to graft(移植)a pair of ears for him.

One day a doctor said to the boy's father that he could graft a pair of ears for his son,if they could be offered.Two years went by.Then,“You are going to the hospital,son.Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need.But it's a secret,” said the father.

The operation was a brilliant success.Later the boy married and entered the diplomatic service(外交部).“But I must know who gave so much to me.I could never do enough for him.”“But the agreement was that you are not to know,not yet,”said the father.The years kept their secret,but the day did come,one of the darkest days that ever passed through his son.Slowly,the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick,reddish?brown hair to show that the mother had no ears.

“Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut,”he whispered gently,“and nobody ever thought mother less beautiful,did they?”

Real beauty lies not in the physical appearance,but in the heart.Real treasure lies not in what can be seen,but in what cannot be seen.Real love lies not in what is done and known,but in what is done but not known.

When you make a mistake, big or small, treasure it as it's the most valuable thing in the world.

Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, and get mad at ourselves.

And that's only natural: Most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, and we should try to avoid mistakes. We've been punished when we make mistakes — at home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction(无意识的反应).

Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be treasured and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: They make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.

By test and error — trying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes — we have found out how to make electric lights, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, and to fly.

Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, and make works of genius(天才) possible.

Think about how we learn: We don't just get information about something and know it at once or know how to do it. You don't just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from watching usually ... then you set a model in your mind ... then you test it out by trying it in the real world ... then you make mistakes ... then you correct the model based on the results of your real world experiment ... and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until you've pretty much learned how to do something.

That's how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something new — because if you succeed in something, it's probably something you already knew how to do. You haven't really grown much from that success — at most it's the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey is made up of mistakes, if it's a good journey.

So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world full of wonders possible.

1.According to the passage, how should we treat mistakes?

A. We should try to avoid making mistakes.

B. We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.

C. We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.

D. We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.

2.The underlined word “toddler” in Paragraph 6 probably means ________.

A. a small child learning to walk

B. a kindergarten child learning to draw

C. a primary pupil learning to read

D. a school teenager learning to write

3.We can learn from the passage that ________.

A. most of us can really grow from success

B. growing and improving are based on mistakes

C. we learn to make mistakes by test and error

D. we read about something and know how to do it right away

4.The author wants to tell us ________.

A. what you should do when meeting with difficulties

B. where you can find your mistakes

C. how you can avoid making mistakes

D. why you should celebrate your mistakes

The human brain(大脑) weighs about 1.4 kilograms, but it can, hold much more information than most computers. However, there is another difference between humans and computers. Computers don't forget information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything, and luckily we don't usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions.

◆Try to use new information immediately. For example, if you meet someone who says "Hi! I'm Carlos," don't just say "Hello." Repeat the person's name. Say"__________"

◆Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it's hard to memorize (记忆) 109244153. But if you break it into three parts--109/244/153—it becomes easier.

◆Write out what you need to remember over and over again. This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas (公式) or facts.

◆Always review information. If you bring what you've learned back to your mind, they become easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it’s a good idea to review the new things you learned that day.

◆Discuss with a friend. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what's right and what's wrong, and it will lead to the right answer.

◆____l your________________. You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone's memory gets better if they use it often enough.

All of the suggestions are helpful. If you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory.

1.

A. Hello, Carlos. B. How do you do?

C. Hello, I am Sophia. D. Glad to meet you!

2.

D. To review it before you sleep.

3.

A. Discussing with friends can help you remember things.

B. Always reviewing information can help you fall asleep.

C. Formulas and facts can help you learn about your brain.

D. Human beings can improve their memory by computer.

4.What does the sentence "Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory” mean?
