Beware 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.
