Be careful! Some people may use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is true, but misses important information that should be included, he can create a false impression(印象).
For example, someone might say, "I just won 100 dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that ticket back to the store and they gave me 100 dollars!"
This man is a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he paid 200 dollars for 200 tickets, and only one ticket won. He's really a big loser.
He didn't say anything that was false, but he didn't give the other important information. That's called a half-truth. Half-truths are not lies, but in fact they are dishonest.
Advertisements sometimes use half-truths. It's against the law to lie in advertisements, so they try to deceive with the truth. An advertisement might say, "Nine-tenths of doctors believe that Fancy Pills will be good to cancer. " It doesn't tell you that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Fancy Company.
This kind of thing happens too often. It's a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.

The United States is suffering its worst drought (干旱) in almost sixty years. The National Climatic Data Center also says high temperatures in June added to the warmest twelve-month period on record. Record-keeping began in 1895. The drought map showed that conditions improved in the Southeast in June compared to May. But the drought is expected to continue in large parts of the country. Last week, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack met with President Obama. Mr Vilsack says the drought has seriously influenced some crops, such as corn and soybeans (大豆). And the United States is the world's leading producer.
The drought has made prices of com and soybeans increase. Both of them are used in food production and for animal feed. Last week the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization reported that corn and wheat prices increased by 20% over the past three weeks.
In the United States, farmers may quickly reduce the size of their animals rather than pay higher feed prices to keep them. That increased supply of meat would reduce meat prices in the short term. But those prices could increase in several months.
Mr Vilsack says the effect of the drought is hard to predict(預(yù)測). Some areas are getting rain, and drought-resistant (抗旱的) seeds have helped crops grow well in some areas.
【小題1】We can know the drought record of the USA has been kept for ________years of the USA up to now.
| A．97 | B．207 |
| C．221 | D．117 |
| A．George Washington. | B．Abraham lincon. |
| C．George Bush. | D．Barack Obama. |
| A．2.4 dollars. | B．3 dollars. |
| C．3.6 dollars. | D．3.9 dollars. |
| A．Because there are more and more animals. |
| B．Because farmers kill them to save their food. |
| C．Because people don't like eating meat now. |
| D．Because the government (政府) asks the meat price lower. |
