Passage 20

(安徽师大附中2010届高三第一次摸底考试)

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.
