Be aware of those who use the truth to deceive(欺騙). When someone tells you something that is ________, but leaves out important information that should be ________, he can create a false impression.

For example, someone might say, “I just ________ a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and ________ it in for one hundred dollars!”

This guy is a winner, ________? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred ________, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big ________!

He didn’t say anything that was ________, but he deliberately left out some important ________. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically ________, but they are just as not ________.

Untrustworthy candidates in ________ campaigns often use this tactic(手段). Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, the state lost one million jobs and ________ three million jobs. Then she ________ another term. One of her opponents runs an ad ________, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. ________, an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of ________ million jobs.”

Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s ________ the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the ________. An ad might boast, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.”It ________ to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
