Be aware of tho who u the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something

题文

Be aware of tho who u the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a fal 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’s a winner, right? Maybe, or maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was winner. He’s really a big lor! He didn’t say anything that was fal, but he omitted important information on purpo. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often u this tactic. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she eks another term. One of her opponents runs an advertiment, saying “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.”Advertirs will sometimes u half-truths. It’s against the law to make fal claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertiment might boast, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure no pimples(粉刺).” It fails 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.小题1:Which statement is true according to the article?A．Whenever people tell the truth, they may lie B．You cannot trust lottery agent.C．All governors help their states.
