  Take care about those who use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can make a false impression. 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? Maybe, maybe not. We then discovered that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He is really a big loser! He didn't say anything that was false , but he intentionally left out important information. That's called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest. Untrustworthy candidates (候选人) in political campaigns often use this trick. Let's see 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) runs an ad saying, “During Governor Smith's term, the state lost one million jobs! ” That's tore . However an honest statement would have been, “ During Governor Smith's tern, 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 ad might boast (吹嘘), “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples. ”It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation. This kind of trick happens too often. It's a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.

A.All advertisements are lies.

B.You can't trust anyone who tells the truth.
