Beware of those who use the truth to cheat. When someone tells you something that is   36 , but leaves out important information that should be 37 , he can create a false impression.

For example, someone might say, “I just 38     a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and     39  it for one hundred dollars!”

This guy’s a winner, 40 ? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred 41 , and only one was a winner. He’s really a big 42 !

He didn’t say anything that was 43 , but he deliberately left out some important   44 . That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically 45 , but they are just as not 46 .

Untrustworthy candidates in 47  campaigns often use this strategy. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and  48  three million jobs. Then she 49  another term. One of her opponents runs an advertisement 50 , “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. 51 , an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of 52 million jobs.”

Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s 53  the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the 54 . An advertisement might boast (吹嘘), “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It 55  to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.

This kind of cheat happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
