Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺騙)? 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, 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 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 officers 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 tries another term. One of the persons who don’t support her 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 thing happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
1.We may infer that the author believes people should ________.
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
2.How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceive?
A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four
3.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
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.
4.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A. He’s really a big loser!
B. Sometimes the truth can lie.
C. Advertisers will sometimes use half truths.
D. It’s against the law to make false statements.

How does a young dog or cat get to know a new home? The animal uses its nose. Right away it smells its new places. Then it makes wider and wider circles, smelling all the time. Before long it can find its way home very well, even in the dark. It simply follows something it knows well.
Stories happen about animals who found their way across land they had never smelled before. Take the case of Smoky, a small white cat. Smoky had some funny red hair around its right ear. One day Smoky and his owner began a long journey. They were moving from Oklahoma to Tennessee. When they were just eighteen miles from their Oklahoma home, Smoky jumped out of the car. Then he found his way back to the old house. There he wandered around outside for many days. Finally he disappeared.
A year later Smoky meowed at the door of a house in Tennessee. A man opened the door. “Is that you, Smoky?” he said in surprise. At first he couldn’t believe it. Then he saw the red hair around its right ear. It was Smoky!

The British are known as people who love to stand in line, but a new research shows that the British are only about average (平均數(shù)) at waiting politely in a queue(排、隊). The French are the best. It's the Germans who don't have a good habit of standing in line. They can't stand to wait for anything. They begin to shout loudly and noisily if the line doesn't seem to be moving fast enough. Sadly it never moves fast enough for them.
The experts studied 940 people across Europe. They watched secretly as they waited in line to get tickets, to order fast food and to wait for the bus. They found people who are good at forming (排成) queues feel that they move along faster. For example, in Britain, the average waiting at a queue needs about three and a half minutes. In Germany or Sweden people hate waiting in line. In fact, people spend double the time as the British in queues. They get to the front of the queue without thinking about others, so they waste others' time.
The expert who did the research had asked a person to break into a queue to see what people would do. In Britain, people shouted loudly at him, but when he said," I' m terribly sorry. I didn't realize there was a queue. Do go before me. " People smiled and said. "Oh, that's all right, one more won't matter much. "It was also found in France, where 80% of the people didn't mind standing in line only if they were treated politely. While in Germany everyone was angry and wore an unhappy face. The expert said, "If only they could learn from the British and the French to think of queuing as an exercise in making the best of an unhappy thing, they might find that the queue then moves faster."
1.The research shows that the people in _______ are the most polite in standing in line.

4.From the last sentence we know the expert wished the Germans could__________.
