1．Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive？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．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，maybe not．We then discover that he bought $200worth 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．lt's a sad fact of life：Lies are lies，and sometimes the truth can lie as well．

20．One Sunday a few of us decided to take advantage of the first sunny day we'd have for ages to take a trip down to the coast to visit the penguins again．Last time I went down there was a couple of months ago and it was a dull cold day．Sunday couldn't have been more different-clear skies and sunshine made it feel like summer，although it was still-25°C．
Six of us drove to the coast．It was the first time we'd been off the base on our own without our field assistant，so it had a slightly different feeling-more like a few friends going to the seaside than an Antarctic field trip!When we reached Windy Creek，we luckily caught sight of quite a few small flying seabirds，which are seldom seen there．
Once on the sea ice we found that some of the more curious penguins had wandered over from the main group to come and check us out．We'd been told that then they were nursing their chicks  and they would be more careful and nervous than last time，but that didn't seem to be the case．We walked across to the main group which were stretched for a couple of miles along the coast．We sat down for some sandwiches and soon found ourselves surrounded by many curious observers．Without any attackers on land，they were very brave and came within a meter of us to pose for photos．
Before heading back，we spent a few hours on the sea ice watching the penguins and their chicks，which had grown dramatically since our last visit．It was such a nice day．
