3.Be aware of 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 create 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'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 loser!He didn't say anything that was false,but he omitted important information on purpose.That's called a half-truth.Half-truths are not technically lies,but they are just as dishonest.
Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use 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 seeks another term.One of her opponents runs an advertisement,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."
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths.It's against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth.An advertisement might boast,"Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose 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.

49.Which statement is true according to the article?B
A.Whenever people tell the truth,they may lie
B.The truth can be used in dishonest ways.
C.All governors help their states.

B.to make her a liar
C.to get jobs in the government
D.to detect her lie.

"Here is the reading of your uncle's will(遗嘱),"said the lawyer,"telling what is to be done with this money after his death.I must ask you to remember one point.Your uncle has said you must bring me a paper showing exactly what you did with his money,as soon as you have spent it."

3.The best mistake I ever made was when I was 24 years old and a senior at New York University (NYU).At the time,I was planning to get a law and business degree after graduation and wasn't even job hunting.
    One day,I walked into the student center looking to get a soda,but instead found a roomful of students wearing suits and ties and holding a stack of resumes (简历).Clearly,I had accidentally walked into a job fair.I was casually dressed and had a scarf on my head because I hadn't washed my hair that morning.I tried to walk across the hall when a man stopped me with his hand reached out."Hi,my name is Donny McKenthan.Would you like to work for IBM?"I replied,"Uh,no,thank you,I'm just getting something to drink from that machine over there."
    I ended up having a wonderful conversation with him,but I told him there was no way he could convince me.My course was set.I went out for dinner that night with some friends.When I mentioned my story,they couldn't believe I was foolish enough to turn down interviewing with this amazing company!I went home that night,dug out his card from the garbage bin and called him back.
    After a series of successful interviews,an IBM manager called me to extend an offer,which would be followed up in a few days in writing.When I asked what the salary was,he cryptically(含糊其辞)said 18,000.Inmymind,Ithought18,000 a year was low,given what I had been earning for part-time work paying my way through NYU.So I told him I thought I should earn more,and started to negotiate.He was surprised and explained that the starting salary for all trainees was set in store.
    The next day,I received the offer in the mail.As it turned out,I misunderstood the offer---I would earn $1,8000 a month.That was a great salary,so of course,I took the job.I never did tell my manager about my mistake,but a few months later he placed me in sales because I was the only trainee who had tried to negotiate a starting!That comedy of errors ended up being a wonderful 22-year career at IBM.
