18．Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive （欺骗）？When someone tells you something that is true，but leaves out important information that should be included，he can give you a false picture．
For example，some might say，"I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery （彩票）．It was great．I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!"
This guy is a winner，right？Maybe，maybe not．We then discover that he bought  $200 worth of tickets，and only one was a winner．He's really a big loser!
He didn't say anything that was false，but he left out important information on purpose．That's called a half-truth．Half-truths are not technically lies，but they are just as dishonest．
Some politicians often use this trick．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 says，"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 statements，so they try to mislead you with the truth．An advertisement might say，"Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache．"It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company．
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．
29．We may infer that the author believes people shouldD
A．buy lottery tickets if possible
B．make use of half-truths
C．be careful about what they are told
D．not trust the Yucky Company
30．How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceive？C
A．one             B．Two              C．Three             D．Four
31．Which of the following is true according to the passage？D
A．Using half truths is against the law．
B．Technically，half truths are in fact lies．
C．Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache．
D．Governor Smith did a good job during her last term．

16．It was 3：12a．m．when nine-year-old Glenn Kreamer awoke to the smell of burning．Except for the crackling（爆裂声）of flames somewhere below there was not a sound in the two-storey house at Baldwin，Long Island．With his father away on night duty at a local factory，Glenn was worried about the safety of his mother，his sister Karen，14and his 12-year-old brother Todd．He ran downstairs through the smoke filled house to push and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up．Then he helped each one through the house to the safety of the garden．There，his sister and brother，taking short and quick breaths and coughing，collapsed on the lawn．
The nine-year-old raced back into the house and upstairs to his mother's room．He found it impossible to wake her up．Mrs．Kreamer，On Level 1a victim of the smoke，was unconscious，and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden．But the boy remained calm and，as a fireman said later，"acted with all the self-control of a trained adult．"
On the bedroom telephone，luckily still working，Glenn called his father and，leaving Mr．Kreamer to telephone the fire brigade and ambulance service，got on with the task of saving his mother．
First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed．Then，with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden．
He could hear the fire engine coming up，but how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled house where flames had almost swallowed up the ground floor？
Grasping firmly a ball of string（线绳） from the garage，Glenn raced back into the house and dashed upstairs to his mother's room．Tying one end of the string to her hand，he ran back，laying out the string as he went，through the hall and back out into the garden．
Minutes later he was telling fire chief John Coughlan："The string will lead you to mother．"Mrs．Kreamer was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through her bedroom floor．

15．Many people catch a cold in the springtime or fall．It makes us wonder．If scientists can send a man to the moon，why can't they find a way to deal with the common cold？The answer is easy．There are actually hundreds of kinds of cold viruses out there．You never know which one you will get，so there isn't a cure for each one．
When a virus attacks your body，your body works hard to get rid of it．Blood rushes to your nose and brings congestion（拥塞）in it．That is to say，you cannot breathe well．As a result，you feel terrible．However，your body is actually"eating"the virus．Your temperature rises and you get a fever，but the heat of your body is also killing the virus．Besides，you have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into you．You may feel terrible，but in fact your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold．
Different people have different ways to deal with common colds．In the United States and some other countries，for example，people might eat chicken soup to feel better．Some people take hot baths； some drink warm water，milk，or things like that； other people take medicine to stop the fever，congestion，and runny nose．
Some scientists suggest you should not take medicine when having a common cold，saying that it is bad for you to do that．If you take medicine，your body will stop reacting to the virus and thus won't have a way to fight it and kill it，which makes the virus stay in you longer．Bodies can do an amazing job on their own．
