Adults are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practised in the meantime. A man who has not had an opportunity to go swimming for years can  1    swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after several decades and still   2    away. A mother who has not   3   the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or recite the story of Cinderella or Snow White.
　　One explanation is the law of over learning, which can be stated as following:   4 we have learned something, additional learning increases the   5    of time we will remember it.
　　In childhood, we usually continue to practise such skills as swimming, bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and   6    ourselves of poems such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella or Snow White. We not only learn but __7   .
　　The law of over learning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination,   8    it may result in a passing grade, is not a   9    way to learn a school course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little over learning,   10   , is usually a good investment toward the future.

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.
