In speaking, the choice of words is _of_ the utmost importance. Proper selection will eliminate one source of _likely_ breakdown in the communication cycle. Too often, careless use of words _prevents_ a meeting of the mind of the speaker and listener. The words used by the speaker may _stir up_ unfavorable reactions in the listener _which_ interfere with his comprehension; hence, the transmission-reception system breaks down. _Moreover_, inaccurate or indefinite words may make _it_ difficult for the listener to understand the _message_ which is being transmitted to him. The speaker who does not have specific words in working vocabulary may be _unable_ to explain or describe in a _way_ that can be understood by listeners.第二篇：Without time to relax and have fun, kids can suffer stress just like adults; warn experts who say as many as one in four youngsters have symptoms of burnout. More and more parents are pushing their kids to be busy in structured activities all the time. Many of these activities for children arent recreational but involve competition. The kids are being pushed to “win”, not just participate, and this can cause stress. Todays parents have the _idea_ that children who dont pursue a lot outside activities will be left behind . Parents are in a panic because they know its a tough world out there. They are running scared to be sure their kids can go into the marketplace and compete as adults, but in some cases they are missing the big picture.Kids who are unhappy and depressed grow up to be unhappy, depressed adults who dont do well in their jobs or personal life.

Thats why its important to help your child find a balance.第三篇：Double Income and No Kids (DINK) becomes fashionable in China.

As an old Chinese saying goes, there are three aspects in failing to be a filial son and the _most_ serious one is to have no heir for the family. So childless couples will suffer discrimination _from_ family members and neighbors.But it is clear that the new tide of ideas has come, which suggests young people _want_ to choose their own way of life. They are installing modern ideas into traditional families and society. In the modernization process, personal choices will be highly respected.第四篇：The hobby of collecting autographs （亲笔签名）is called philography, from a Greek word meaning love of writing.
