Be careful of those who use the truth to
deceive
people. 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(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 yes, maybe no, we then discovered 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.
Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this strategy. 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 runs an ad saying, " 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 claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might boast (自夸) , " Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples (疙瘩). " It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation. This kind of deceiving happens too often. It’ s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometime the truth can be a lie as well.
The word "deceive" in Paragraph 1 probably means______in this passage.
选项
A、to tell someone to make his judgment
B、to refuse to believe that something is true
C、to make someone believe something is true
D、to give someone a wrong belief about something
答案
D
解析
根据第一段第二句“When someone tells you something that is true,but leaves out Important intormation that should be included,he can create a false impression.”可知,当有人告诉你一件真实的事情,却遗漏了应该包含的重要信息,他 就给你创造了一种假象。由此可推知,deceive指的是“利用事实来制造错误印象”。 D项意为“让人错误地相信某事",最符合题意。故选D。
