| 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 , some 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's 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 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 seeks another term. One of her opponents (对 手) says, " During Govemor Smith's term, the state lost one million jobs ! " That's true. However, an honest statement would have been , " During Govemor Smith's term , the state had a net gain of two million jobs. " Advertisers(广告商) 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 deception happens too often. lt's a sad fact of life :Lies are lies , and sometimes the truth can lie as well. |

| Despite the fact that it has never been seen almost everyone is familiar with the legendary unicorn (独角兽). Descriptions of unicorns have been found dating from ancient times. 'The great philosopher Aristotle theorized that there were two types of unicorn-the so-called Indian Ass and the Oryx, a kind of antelope. Unicorns are often used in the logo of a noble family, town council or university as their special sign. Even Scotland is represented by aunicom. According to the legend, anyone attempting to catch a unicorn had to be extremely cautious as it has a reputation for being very fierce. A clever trick suggested by unicorn-trappers ,in order to catch this magnificent beast without being hurt by its horn, was for the hunter to stand in front of a tree and then to move quickly behind it as the unicorn charged. Hopefully, the creature could then be captured when its horn was stuck in the tree. When hollowed out and used as a drinking-cup, the unicorn's horn was said to have the power to offer protection against poison. It was believed that nobody could be harmed by drinking the contents of a unicom's horn. Right up until the French Revolution in 1789, the French court was said to have used cups made of "unicorn" horn in order to protect the king. In addition, the horn was said to have medicina l value,so much so that it could be sold for more than ten times the price of the same weight of gold. What, then, was " unicorn" horn? We know at times the rhino (犀牛) was confused with this legendary creature. A drinking-cup supposedly made of "unicorn" horn was discovered to be made of the horn of a rhino. |

| The small number of newborn babies.which has been caused by high prices and the changing social situation of women ,is one of the most serious problems in Asia. When people talk about it, you can hear a word invented in Japan. " DINKS " , which means Double Income No Kids (小孩) . In many major Asian cities like Seoul, Singapore, and Tokyo,the cost of a house is extremely high. A young couple who want to buy their own house may have to pay about $3,000,000 ( though prices have fallen) . For a flat with one bedroom, one dining-room, a kitchen,and a bathroom,the couple will pay about $900 a month. What's more,if they want to have a child, the child's education is very expensive. For example, most kindergarten charges are at least $5 ,000 a year. In such a situation,it's difficult to afford children. The number of married women who want to continue. Working increases rapidly because they enjoy their jobs. However , if they want to have children, they immediately have serious problems. Though most companies allow women to leave their jobs for a short time to have a baby , they expect women with babies to give up their jobs. In short , if they want to bring up children properly , both parents have to work,but it is hard for mothers to work. Indeed, women who want to continue working have to choose between having children or keeping their jobs. In a word, Asian governments must take steps to improve the present situation as soon as possible. |

| Communication Principles How you see yourself can make a great difference in how you communicate. " Every individual exists in a continually changing world of experience of which he( or she) is the center". Many communication scholars and social scientists believe that people are products of how others treat them and of the messages others send them. But every day we experience the centrality of ourselves in communication. A student, for instance, may describe a conflict with a teacher as unfair treatment: "I know my teacher doesn't like the fact that I don't agree with his opinions , and that is why he gave me such a poor grade in that class. " The teacher might say the opposite. Each person may believe that he is correct and that the other person's view is wrong. The concept of self originates in communication. Through verbal and nonverbal symbols,a child leams to accept roles in response to the expectations of others. You establish self-image, the sort of person you believe you are, by how others think of you. Positive, negative,and neutral messages that you receive from others all play a role in determining who you are. Communication itself is probably best understood as a dialogue process. Our understanding of communication comes from our interactions with other people. In a more obvious way,communication involves others in the sense that a competent communicator considers what the other person needs and expects when selecting messages to share. So, the communication begins with the self, as defined largely by others, and involves others , as defined largely by the self. Communication occurs almost every minute of your life. If you are not communicating with yourself ( thinking, planning, reacting to the world around you), you are observing others and drawing inferences from their behavior. Even if the other person did not intend a message for you, you gather observations and draw specific conclusions. A person yawns and you believe that person is bored with your message. A second person looks away from you and you conclude that person is not listening to you. A third person smile ( perhaps because of a memory of a joke he heard recently) and you lieve that he is attracted to you. We are continually picking up meanings from others' behaviors and we are constantly providing behaviors that have communicative value for them. More often than not, you may have hurt someone accidentally and you may have tried to explain that you did not mean that. You may have told the other person that you were sorry for your statement. You may have made a joke out of your rude statement. Nonetheless, your comment remains both in the mind of the other person and in your own mind. You cannot go back in time and erase your messages to others. Communication cannot be reversed(倒退) ,nor can it be repeated. When you tried to re-create the atmosphere , the conversation , and the setting, nothing seemed right. Your second experience with a similar setting and person made far different results.
