Be careful of those who use the truth to deceive (cheat). When someone tells you something that is true, but 36 important information that should be included, he can create a false 37 .
For Example, a man once told me, “I just won a hundred dollars on the 38 . It was great. I 39 that ticket back to the store and turned it in 40 one hundred dollars!”
This guy is a winner, right? May be, may be not. Then 41 I discovered that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a 42 . He was 43 a big loser!
He didn’t say anything that was false, 44 he left out important information 45 . That’s called a half—truth. Half—truths are not technically 46 , but they are just as dishonest.
Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this 47 . Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her 48 lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she sought another 49 . One of her opponents put an ad saying, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s 50 . However, an honest statement would have been quite different.
Advertisers will sometimes use half—truths. It’s 51 the law to make false claims, so they 52 to mislead you with the truth. An ad 53 blow its own horn, “Nine out of ten doctors lend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It fails to mention that they only ask ten 54 , and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
This kind of 55 deception happens too often. It’s a fact of life: lies are lies, but sometimes the truth can lie as well.

The 39 made three visits to the store with the customer. The first time, he got chocolate ice cream. The car started. The second time, he ordered strawberry. The car started.

Allen : I’ve never been a big fan of the bears , especially the vacation show . On my last trip to Disneyland (1999) we passed it by , because we didn’t want to spend the time on something we didn’t really enjoy. If we’d known it would be closed by our next visit , I’m sure we would have watched it one more time . I was just making the point that it wasn’t until Disney announced the closing that this feeling suddenly sprang (弹跳) up for the Country Bear show at Disneyland .
But I think the idea of keeping some attractions (胜迹) open forever regardless of (不顾及) the number of visitors it gets is a mistake . We all have great memories of the Bears , but clearly very few kids today (or I should say families today ) are making those same memories from this show . That may be a sad fact , but it’s a fact . For whatever reason , the show doesn’t pull in the numbers . Isn’t it right to use the Country Bear space to bring in a more popular attraction so that more kids today can make those magic memories of an attraction THEY like ? Otherwise aren’t we just telling kids today that they “have to” make great memories of the Bears , when it’s obvious that the kids themselves are not enjoying the Bears like we did ?
Roger : I am very disappointed that they have decided to retire the Country Bear Playhouse . I remember going to the show as a child , and still enjoyed it as a teenager ,
and now young adult . It is true that there aren’t a lot of shows left at DL and with this one closing even less . Being at DL does require a lot of walking , and it is nice to have a few attractions that are a place to sit and enjoy a good show . I understand that DL has to develop , but there has to be some history to the Disneyland that Walt Disney first designed . There should be some parts of DL that just never go away , and this is one of them . By the time I have children it looks like there won’t be any attractions that I can say I went to as a child at the rate they are going .
Now the Bears are leaving . What I want to say is: stop trying to compete with everyone ! DL is the best , because of attractions like the Country Bears . If DL insists on destroying all of its magic to make way for the latest , well , then it might as well be just another theme (主题) park .
1.What news might get people talking about the problem of the Country Bears ?
A.The Country Bear Playhouse will be closed . |
B.There will be a new attraction for our guests at Disneyland |
C.The number of visitors to the Country Bear Playhouse is falling . |
D.The Bears will retire because of old age and can’t give shows any more . |
2.Allen spoke mainly to get his point across that .
A.the Bears will be missed |
B.we should tell kids today that they “have to” make great memories of the Bears |
C.the longtime attraction ought to make way for a future attraction |
D.people never care about what they have until all is lost |
3.Which is the best choice to complete Roger’s idea : “The Country Bears have been a part of Disneyland for nearly 30 years , .”
A.and I feel it is time to give our bears a good rest |
B.but anyway , the attraction has lost interest |
C.but I know that Disneyland will always be changing , and I accept that |
D.and I am sad that the Bears will be leaving |
4.Which of the following is not in the same group as the other three ?
A.an attraction |

D.the latest magic |

Young drivers are over-represented in alcohol--related driving accidents. In recent years, people aged 16 to 24 were involved in 28 percent of all alcohol--related driving accidents, although they make up only 14% of the U. S. population. Young people are also over--represented in drinking driver injuries and deaths. Even when their blood alcohol contents (BACs) are not high, young drinkers are involved in driving accidents at higher rates than older drivers with similar BACs.
Fortunately, driving accidents have been declining among young people, just as they have among the general population. And deaths associated with young drinking drivers (those 16 to 24 years of age) are down, having dropped 47% in a recent 15--year period.
In contrast to popular belief, drinking among young people is dropping and has been doing so for many years. For example, statistics demonstrate that within a period of about 20 years, the proportion of American high school seniors who have ever consumed alcohol is down 13%;the proportion of those who have consumed alcohol within the previous year is down 15%.
Exaggerating the degree of drinking problems of young people may create an unexpected problem. When young people go to college falsely believing that most others are drinking heavily, then they may try to follow suit. Thus, those who exaggerate the problem of alcohol abuse actually contribute to the problem and make it worse. However, when students find out that most others don’t drink as much as they incorrectly believed, they are very likely to drink less and even give up. So, honest accuracy rather than dishonest exaggeration is the most effective way to reduce alcohol abuse and the problems it causes.
60. We can learn from the first paragraph that ____.
A. in the U. S. people aged 16 to 24 caused half of the alcohol--related driving accidents
B. young drinkers are more likely to cause accidents than adult drinkers
C. young drinkers are able to keep calm when their BACs are not high
D. people aged 16 to 24 make up a quarter of the U. S. population
61. It can be inferred from Para. 3 that ____.
A. high school seniors turn to alcohol to get rid of their pressure
B. it’s a fact that young people are drinking more nowadays
C. the number of high school students in the U. S is dropping
D. most people believe more and more young people are becoming addicted to drinking
62. The underlined phrase “follow suit” in the last paragraph means ____.
A. stop drinking
B. wear the same suit as others do
C. start drinking
D. hate what others do
63. Which of the following statements does the author agree to?
A. Driving should be forbidden among people aged 16 to 24.
B. Many young people in the U. S. are acting totally irresponsibly.
C. The drinking problems of young people are turning for the better.
D. Students will stop drinking if they believe most others are drinking heavily.
