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.

单选题Honore de Balzac, the famous writer, was a man of many accomplishments (才能). In his own opinion, one of his main accomplishments was his outstanding ability as a student of handwriting. He had spent much time on this subject, and he often told his friends that he could accurately (准确的) describe a person"s character from a sample of that person"s handwriting.
One day, a woman friend brought him a sample of a boy"s handwriting. She said that she wanted to know what Balzac thought of the boy"s character.
Balzac studied the handwriting carefully for a few minutes. Then he looked at the woman strangely. The woman, however, told him that the boy was no relative of hers and that he could tell her the truth.
"Good!" said Balzac, "Then let me speak frankly (坦率地)."
He then went on to say that he thought the boy was a careless and lazy person. He added that the boy should be watched carefully, otherwise, he would grow up to bring disgrace (耻辱) upon his family.
"Isn"t that strange?" said the woman, smiling. "Because this happens to be a page from your own copybook, which you yourself used when you were a boy."

单选题By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder(喹蛇). In Scotland, in fact, there axe no other kinds of poisonous snake. It can be found almost anywhere, but it prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.
Most people regard snake bites as deadly, but not all bites are serious, and very few are deadly. Some- times attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be mere dangerous than the bite itself, with someone heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery(外科手术)and other unnecessary measures.
All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes axe shy animals and are fax more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally, or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes strongly. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you axe very close.
The effect of a bite changes considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults. A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison.
Very few people actually die from snake bites in Britain, and though these bites can make some people very ill, there axe probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.

People all over the world know
Wimbledon as the centre of lawn tennis. In 1874 it was a country
village, but it was the home of the All England Croquet Club. The Club had been
there since 1864. A lot of people played croquet in England at that time and
enjoyed it, but the national championships did not attract many people. So the
Club had very little money. "This new game of lawn tennis seems
to have plenty of action (精彩场面), and people like watching it," they thought.
"Shall we allow people to play lawn tennis on some of our beautiful croquet
lawns?" In 1877, Wimbledon held the first world lawn tennis
championships (men's singles). Wimbledon grew. There was
some surprise and doubt, of course, when the Club allowed women to play in the
first women's singles championship in 1884. But the ladies played well--even in
long skirts that hid their legs and feet. Until 1907 the winners, both men anti
women, were always British, but since 1936 the victory has usually gone to an
American or an Australian. British people were very happy when an English girl,
Ann Jones, won the championship in 1969.
