This proverb is especially true under several situations.First，if we have made a promise not to Iet out a secret，we should always keep silent.Second，we should avoid talking over facts or statistics of which we are not sure.Third，whenever we are expressing our ideas，brevity is the soul of wit and talking too much will always Iead to faults and mistakes.
Nevertheless，there are also some exceptions.If we find out a flaw in other’s speaking or writing，we should not hesitate a moment to point it out.And to friends or acquaintances seeking advice，we should feel free to help them.
In a word，we can draw the conclusion that in most cases“silence is gold”，but in certain circumstances，talking is the right choice.

How People Spent Their Holidays？

The seaside still had its unvaried attraction to people.The rate increased from 38%in 2000to 49%in 2010.But there might be a tendency of further increasing in the future because the pollution will be relieved on the seaside.
The table shows that a great number of people spent their holidays traveling abroad.The rate in 2010（24%）doubled as compared with 2000（12%）.And the tendency would be continuing because more and more people could afford the overseas journeys.
In the table was shown another remarkable tendency：The rate of camping was rising from 10%in 2000to 20%in 2010-increased by two times.The reason may be that the real beauty of the nature is being rediscovered，and people themselves are getting more adventurous，eager to get closer to nature.

Software Use in a Certain Region
During the period between 1998and 2002，pirated software users declined abruptly from 3000to 1000，while authorized users increased sharply from 2000to more than 8000.
Several reasons can account for this phenomenon.Compared with pirated software，authorized software can guarantee both high quality and good after-sale service.Apart from that，authorized software are becoming cheaper and cheaper，more and more people can afford them as a result.
However，there are still a number of people who buy pirated software，generally for two reasons.On the one hand，they take it for granted that pirated products are cheaper than authorized ones.On the other hand，they don‘t realize that their behavior will do great harm to the whole software industry and national economy.
