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 includ—ed。he can give you a false picture.
For example,someone 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 hun—dred dollars!”
This guy's 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 haIf-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 an
other term.One of her opponents(对手)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(广告商)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 1ie as well.

Research has shown that motivation is very important in learning a language; you need to be enthusiastic about it, and to be interested in it. Different people will have different motives-the desire for promotion, the hope of being able to study abroad, curiosity about a very different culture, and pure intellectual enjoyment are only some of the possible motives. But actually wanting to learn is the most important motive of all.
Courage is an essential attribute in learning a language. It takes a lot of courage to speak a foreign language either in front of your friends or to native speakers, but don’t be afraid of making mistakes-that is the way we learn. Nowadays there are many different forms of English, each with its own constructions and accent, and, so long as you can make yourself understood and can understand what is said to you, you have succeeded in communicating, which is the purpose of any language.
Curiosity is not only a possible motivation, it is also a great help in your learning. Remember that a language is not just a grammatical system, it is the outcome of a certain culture or different cultures. It is no good learning strings of words and lists of grammatical rules unless you know as much as possible, about the background of the language, so that you can understand the ideas which are being conveyed, the references which are being made, the inferences which can be drown from the information explicitly given. So learn as much as you can about the different cultures which influence English-watch television programs, listen to the radio, try to obtain newspapers and magazines: which are written by native speakers, look at advertisements, and above all, read-not textbooks, but novels and poems and plays. The will show you how language is really used. The English language is not an abstract system; it is a living form of expression which derives much of its meaning from the context in which it is used , and much of its effect from a whole network of extralinguistic knowledge.
