Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to cheat? When someone tells you somet
题型：不详难度：来源：
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 (政客) often use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and got three million jobs. Then she tries to get another term. One of her opponents (竞争对手) 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 increased 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 say that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.
This kind of cheating happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.

| A．buy lottery tickets if possible |
| B．make use of half–truths |
| C．be careful about what they are told |
| D．not trust the Yucky Company |
| A．One | B．Two | C．Three | D．Four |
| A．Using half truths is against the law. |

| C．Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache. |
| D．Governor Smith did a good job during her last term. |

“Track isn"t an sport.” the coach said. “Are you ready to practice hard every day?”
“Oh, yes. I love running.” I replied.
“Well, that"s good,” the coach said.“ starts tomorrow after school.”
I was a little nervous about running with mostly older students, but I decided to face my fear.
“Welcome to the first day of practice.” the coach ordered everyone to the bottom of a sand hill. “Okay.”, he said, “This is the practice we"ll do all season. You are going to run up and down the sand hill ten times as fast as you can. If you can"t _it, move to the side.” We all lined up, legs ready.
“Go！”the coach shouted, and we went.
I considered myself a bit small but strong. Running up that hill, however, was harder than I had imagined it would be. The sand kept falling down under my feet and it was hard to keep balance(平衡). I tried my feet in deeper, but people kept passing me shouting “Look out!” and “Move off to the side!”
“Don"t cry,” I told myself as tears filled my eyes. I had to step aside. I went home from practice feeling like a(an) .
That night my dad noticed sad face and asked what was wrong. The story came pouring out. Dad listened quietly and then asked, “How do you want to run?”
“I really want to run,” I whispered through my tears.
“Then, run,” he said. “Everyone will respect you if you don"t stop and give all you have. I know how strong-mined you can be when you set your mind to it.”
The next day the hill looked as hard as it had been the day before, but I had a new attitude and something to . “Go！” the coach shouted. Several older students ran by me as we started up the hill. I still fell in the sand, and I still wanted to leave every step of the way; but I kept slowly and progressively. When I reached the top, I gave a silent cheer and headed back down again. My dad was right. I won that day and became a part of the team. On my last time down, everyone clapped and cheered.

So they move out. Some don’t move very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities. Other people move to real countryside, with sheep, cows and horses, and green fields! There, they start new lives and try to make new friends.
Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two or three years, many people feel that it was a big mistake. There isn’t much to do. Country people are very different and aren’t always friendly.
As a result, quite a lot of people move back to the city. “It’s wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights,” they say. “I’m so glad I’m back in the city!” (203)

Instead, the school gave iBooks－laptop computersto each of its 340 students, becoming one of the first US public schools to stop printed textbooks.
School officials believe that the electronic materials will make students enjoy learning more. Empire High Schoolwas designed to have a textbook-free environment.
Students at Empire High School get the materials over the school’s Internet network. The school has a central control system that limits what can be downloaded(下载) at the school.
“Students can hand in homework online. We have a web program that helps to check if you copy from others,” the headmaster Baker said.
In addition to offering up-to-date information, teachers can make the lessons more enjoyable. For example, lessons in history can include links to a person’s daily life, his ideas, his discovery, and so on.
Social studies teacher Jeremy Gypton said the change was easier than expected. Gypton said he assigned reading based on websites, used online groups and message boards to keep the students connected. And he also asked them to comment（评论）on each other’s work.
Julian Tarazon, a new student, said that it was kind of hard at first, because you had to put things in folders(文件夹). But after a couple of days, you got used to it. Another student Morgan Northcutt said the computer system had made it easier to do homework.
The school isn’t completely paperless, however. It has a library, and students can read books in it.
“We’re not trying to get rid of books,” Baker said. “We love books.”
