Beware of those who use the truth to deceive. 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’s 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 (策略，手段). Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her 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.

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.
