Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.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 is a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $ 200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!
He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Some politicians often use this trick. 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 says, “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 statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.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. 1.We may infer that the author believes people should ________.A. buy lottery tickets if possible
B. make use of half-truthsC. be careful about what they are told
D. not trust the Yucky Company2.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Using half truths is against the law.
B. Technically, half truths are in fact lies.C. Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache.D. Governor Smith did a good job during her last term.3.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?A. He’s really a big loser!
B. Sometimes the truth can lie as well.C. Advertisers will sometimes use half truths.
D. It’s against the law to make false statements.

The light from the campfire brightened the darkness, but it could not prevent the damp cold of Dennis’s Swamp (沼泽地) creeping into their bones. It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack’s dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp.“So,” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get its name?”“Are you sure you want to hear it? It’s a scary story,” warned Jack.“Of course!” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn’t have chosen this place!”“Ok, but don’t say I didn’t warn you,” said Jack, and he began this tale.“Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite different ---- it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal-clear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.“You are clearing too much land,” warned one old man. “The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it.”“Silly fool,” said Dennis to himself. “If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I’ll become wealthier. He’ s just jealous(妒忌的)!”“Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.”“What happened?” Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire.“The land hit back ---- just as the old man warned,” Jack shrugged. “Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found.”“What a stupid story,” laughed Tom. “Plants can’t…” Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted (晕倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom’s face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.1.The underlined word “dare” in Paragraph 1 is closed in meaning to ________.A. courageB. assistanceC. instructionD. challenge2.Dennis ignored the warning of the old man because ________.A. the old man was jealous of him
B. the old man was foolishC. he was too busy to listen to others
D. he was greedy（贪婪的）for more crops3.Why did Tom scream and faint?A. He saw Dennis’s shadow.
B. He was scared by a plant.C. His friends played a joke on him.
D. The weather became extremely cold.4.What lesson can we learn from the story of Dennis?A. Grasp all, lose all.
B. It is no use crying over spilt milk.C. No sweat, no sweet.
D. He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.

阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填上恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。When you are in a place where you are hunting for a new job or a career, you will find that there are several things that you should pay attention to. Jobs and careers are fewer than you expect, especially when satisfying employment is something you need to seriously think about. How are you going to find the job that you want and what should you avoid on your way? When you want to make use of your job search, take a moment and think about the things that you must avoid at all costs. One of the most important rules is never to compromise on the things you ask for or desire or it will badly affect your life and peace of mind. Keep in mind your basic expectations of a dream job. They might be something about money or you might find they have something to do with time off. Whatever they are, make sure that you do not accept a job without them. Your requirements might not be easy to meet, but you have the right to try and achieve them. What’s more, don’t shy away from odd(临时的)jobs that might actually take you to the place that you want to be in. Sometimes, finding the right job is a matter of luck and chance after you have been searching and putting in a lot of efforts. And if something unexpected happens, remember that taking the chance is of great importance and is something you might want to seriously consider. As long as you keep your goals in mind, you are going to be doing much better than other people during the job search. If you are looking for the right job, another thing that you can do to make sure that you get the right kind of employment is to market yourself. When you do nothing to push yourself forward, you will be the one suffering for it. If required, give enough encouragement to yourself and try to confidently look at all that you have. Make sure that you can show your skills and abilities. If the jobs that you have set your sights on are challenging, set goals for yourself and work hard at them. The more efforts you put in marketing yourself, the more your chances of obtaining the job you like there will be. Remember that when you are working on a job search, you should not short-change yourself. This is because you will only harm yourself by setting low goals. TitleWhat to avoid during your job searchBriefintroductionSatisfying jobs are fewer than (1)________.When you are (2) ________ for a job, there are some related things that need your attention.Importantrules● Remembering your expectationsDon’t compromise on your requirements or it will have a bad (3) ________ on your life.(4) ________ your requirements are difficult to meet, you should try hard.● Taking the chanceTake some odd jobs and this might help you (5) ________ your goal finally.When something unexpected happens, taking the chance is a very (6) ________thing that you should consider it seriously.● (7) ________ yourselfNever lose (8) ________ when you look at what you have and encourage yourself.Show your skills and abilities.If the job that you want is a(n)(9) ________, set your goals and work hard.(10) ________Don’t short-change yourself because low goals may harm yourself.
