25、From my father I have learned a lot. And I’m very thankful to him. I remember when I was a child, my father always got up very early, quietly putting on his clothes and going off to work. To arrive in time to open his tiny store at 8:30, he needed to leave our apartment at 6:30. After all, he had to take a bus and then the subway. The last journey was a long walk through a neighborhood much of which was full of the smell of rubbish. I learned: it is very important to work. No excuse(借口).
When I was 12, I would, on some Saturdays, go to my father’s store to help out. After helping set up the outside clothing display(陈列), for the rest of the day, I’d watch to make sure no one stole anything. When I noticed someone looking unusual or strange, I would look the person in the eye, smile and say, “May I help you?” Usually that worked, but sometimes, someone would run off with something. The first time, I ran after the thief but my father shouted, “Martin, stop! There is no need to do that.” It’s true that safety is more important than money.
After 10 years of hard work, he saved up enough money to buy his first car, a cheap one—he wouldn’t buy one until he could afford to pay for it without borrowing money. I learned: buy only what you can afford. Buying necessary food and clothing won’t make us go in debt(债务). The unnecessary things won’t give us happiness, which comes from achievement only.

27、Do you know of anyone who uses 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 give you a false picture.
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 officers often use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she tries another term. One of the persons who don’t support her 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 a net gain of 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 mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky 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.
【1】We may infer that the author believes people should ________.
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
【2】How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceive?
A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four
【3】Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Using half truths is against the law.
B. Technically, half truths are in fact lies.
C. Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache.
D. Governor Smith did a good job during her last term.
【4】Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A. He’s really a big loser!
B. Sometimes the truth can lie.
C. Advertisers will sometimes use half truths.
D. It’s against the law to make false statements.
28、阅读下面的短文,在空白处填入一个适当的词或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you’re talking to someone but 【1】 keep looking at their phone? This is called “phubbing” — a mix of the words “phone” and “snubbing” (不理睬).
When someone is “phubbing”, they’re using their phone 【2】 (look) through the online news, play games and so on, instead of focusing on the conversation or spending time with the people they’re with. The word was first used in 2012. 【3】 now most people have smartphones, phubbing is a common problem.
Most people would agree that it’s 【4】 (polite) to be focused on your phone when you’re spending time with another person. The expert William Hanson thinks so, 【5】. “Phubbing is a no-no!” he says. “If you have planned to go out with friends, focus on them and not your friends on your phone.”
Studies 【6】 (find) that phubbing can break your relationships with others. Those who “phub” are 【7】 (think) of as less polite and caring.
So science has shown that phubbing is not good for us—but 【8】 do we do it? It might be because we are feeling bored, worried or stressed. Or it might be because we are addicted to (沉溺于) checking our phones or 【9】 (play) games.
Whatever the reason may be, phubbing is a bad habit and can make us miss out on real moments with the people around us. 【10】 the next time you’re spending time with a friend or family member, try and keep your phone out of sight!
