Passage Three
Be careful of those who use 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 create a false impression. For example, someone might say, "I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (抽彩给奖法). It was great. 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 omitted important information on purpose. That's called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Dishonest politicians often use this method. 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 the politicians opposing her runs an ad saying, "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 claims, so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might claim, "Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples (丘疹)." 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.
What does the writer want to tell us with the example of the lottery winner?
A.People lose a lot of money in buying lottery tickets.
B.Lottery makes its buyers dishonest.
C.He was lucky to win the lottery.
D.He did not tell the whole truth.

Dear Jones,
You have asked me for suggestions on how to get along in the United States. It is difficult to give advice, but I have found the following "dos" and" don'ts" helpful.
As a【21】. it isn't easy to find anyone to talk to in a big city. However, here are some suggestions. First, get or borrow a dog! Walk him several times a day! Americans love dogs and usually stop to talk to anyone with a dog. Then, try to eat in a cafeteria. People generally【22】the same tables and will sometimes talk to you if they see that yon are a【23】. Next, take your dirty【24】to a laundry (洗衣店)! It takes about an hour to wash and dry, and many people wait there. They often pass the【25】talking to the other customers.【26】ask for information from a woman, if you are a【27】, and from a man, if you are a woman. It seems to get【28】results for a reason I can't understand. Learn the【29】: "Please", "Thank you", and" You' re welcome" before you come and use them all the time! They usually work like magic(魔术).
There are some things you shouldn't do. Don't【30】the truth when people ask "How are you?" They only【31】the answer to be "Fine". Never ask people their【32】— especially women! Everyone wants to be young. Don't tell heavy people they are【33】. Tell them they are losing weight. Everyone here wants to be【34】. Don' t be late for appointments(约会)! When someone says six o'clock, be sure to be there by six. Americans respect【35】and expect everyone to be "on time".
Above all, don't worry! Just follow my advice and bring a lot of money, you will get along. I hope I have been of some help to you.
Cordially yours,
Socrates
