Beware of those who use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression.
For example, someone might say, "I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery. 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 two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!
He didn’t say anything that was false, but he deliberately omitted important information. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might boast, "Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples." It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
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.
选项
A、Winning means losing as well.
B、You can’t trust commercial ads.
C、Whenever people tell truth, they are lying.
D、Truth can be used in dishonest ways.
答案
D
解析
题干问:根据文章,哪句话是真实的?文章主要谈人们如何利用事实来说谎,因此选项D应为正确项。注意:这是一道概括题,同时第一句话也点明了这篇文章的主题:注意那些用事实来欺骗的人。
