Be aware of those who use the truth to deceive(欺骗). When someone tells you something that is ________, but leaves out important information that should be ________, he can create a false impression.

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

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

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

Untrustworthy candidates in ________ campaigns often use this tactic(手段). Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, the state lost one million jobs and ________ three million jobs. Then she ________ another term. One of her opponents runs an ad ________, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. ________, an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of ________ million jobs.”

Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s ________ the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the ________. An ad might boast, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.”It ________ 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.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

It is necessary but difficult for English beginners to memorize new words, and long lists of words

seem to make the mission impossible. They are puzzled why they try to memorize words with great ef-

forts but forget them easily. That's why there are often inquiries about how to memorize new words.

1. Here are some tips to help.

2. We too often separate the process of new words memorization from pronunciation. In fact

these two can be combined and each will enhance the other. Saying the word to ourselves helps acti-

vate aural(hearing) memory, which helps the memory. 3. The more familiar we are with the word,

the greater chance we will have to keep it for the rest of our life.

Never memorize single English words. 4. Relate the word to terms we already know, either as

synonym or antonym. For example, the word "gargantuan" is similar in meaning to words "gigantic",

”huge" and "large". Make a sequence of words: "small, medium, large, gigantic, and gargantuan".

Create a mental image of the word that involves strong emotions. Think, "The gargantuan whale is go-

ing to swallow me whole".

Learning English words requires action. Complaining how difficult it is to memorize new words

will be of little help. 5. Have a try with ten words a day and you will see what a difference you will

make in our English learning.

A. So take action right now.

B. Speak the word while memorizing it.

C. Memorizing new words is very important.

D. Actually, some have given up learning new words.

E. In fact, learning new words needn't be that difficult.

F. Make as many associations and connections as possible.

G. The sound of word helps us recall the spelling and familiarizes us with the word.
