23、use the truth to deceive. 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. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned

24、 it in for one hundred dollars!“This guys a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. Hes really a big loser!He didnt say anything that was false, but he deliberately omitted important information. Thats called a half-truth. Half

25、truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. Its against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth.

I am certainly watching too many of

29、his programs. They can really be perplexing as they force you to think of the mysteries of life. For example, when Franklin (the turtle) wanted a pet, his parents didnt want it to be a frog. They felt that frogs belong in a pond. Isnt that where turtles belong? And why is it that Little Bears animal

30、 friends can all talk and behave like people, but his friend Emily has a dog that can only bark and fetch? Tell me that isnt a mystery!Dog lovers can be reassured by Kipper and his friends. These dogs are very human. However, the only time they wear clothes is when they put on bathing suits to go sw

31、imming. Im confused!Speaking of dogs, could Pluto ever be Goofys pet? I dont get it! What did the great Mr. Disney have in mind? And it is a mistake! The other day we watched a very nice little pig setting up a picnic. One of the foods was a big ham. Could it have been a soy ham? Is there such a thi

32、ng? I hope so!Another thing that bothers me: What if Elmo isnt real? He cant be a mere puppet! Hes got a better attitude than most people. I just keep wondering.

36、s a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each seme

37、ster. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fa

38、ct done as a regular practice.For every course, a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to possible future employers.
