A couple of years ago, I went to a lady's house to buy some vitamins. Upon entering the house, I  36  that there was an electronic keyboard on a stand, leaning   37  the wall. Being a piano music lover and   38 , I asked if the woman played. She nodded and added that she had been  39  lessons--at age 54! I told her that it was very   40  that she was pursuing (追求) her   41  to play the piano.

For Example, a man once told me, “I just won a hundred dollars on the 38 . It was great. I   39 that ticket back to the store and turned it in   40 one hundred dollars!”
This guy is a winner, right? May be, may be not. Then 41 I discovered that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a 42 . He was 43 a big loser!
He didn’t say anything that was false, 44 he left out important information 45 . That’s called a half—truth. Half—truths are not technically 46 , but they are just as dishonest.
Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this 47 . Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her 48 lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she sought another 49 . One of her opponents put an ad saying, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s 50 . However, an honest statement would have been quite different.
Advertisers will sometimes use half—truths. It’s 51 the law to make false claims, so they 52 to mislead you with the truth. An ad 53 blow its own horn, “Nine out of ten doctors lend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It fails to mention that they only ask ten 54 , and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
This kind of 55 deception happens too often. It’s a fact of life: lies are lies, but sometimes the truth can lie as well.
