13.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'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.It's a sad fact of life:lies are lies,and sometimes the truth can lie as well.

解答 BCDB
28.B 推理判斷題 根據"Lies are lies,and sometimes the truth can lie as well 謊言是謊言,但是有的時候事實也會說謊."可知,我們對我們聽到的東西要仔細辨別.故答案為B
29 C 細節(jié)理解題 根據"For example,someone might say""Some officers often use this trick""Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths"可知,文中舉了三個例子.故答案為C
30 D 細節(jié)理解題 根據"It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth"可知,用部分事實說謊并不違反法律,因為并不都是虛假信息,故A不正確;根據"sometimes the truth can lie as well"可知,事實只是有的時候會說謊,并不完全是謊言,故B不正確;根據"It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company"可知,這個做的是虛假廣告,那個藥不一定是好的,故C不正確;根據"her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs"可知,史密斯在任期間就業(yè)的凈增長是200萬個工作,故D正確.
31 B 推理判斷題 作者在文章開頭提出話題Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive?,中間列舉了三個例子來證明事實也會欺騙人的情況,最后作者通過It's a sad fact of life:Lies are lies,and sometimes the truth can 1ie as well與開頭相呼應,故B選項內容更能表達文章中心,答案選B.
