Dear Editor,
I’m the only daughter of my parents. So they worried about everything I do. For example,
when I ride my bike, my parents won’t let me to ride by myself. They are afraid I might
fall off my bike and hurt myself. They are taking great trouble to support a bike, with
my mother even carried a first-aid box. I’m not free to ride and I often say angry, “Why not
let me ride alone?”Now, most family have one child. Parents want to do everything
for his children. This does no good on them. Too many love from parents may prevent
children from independent. In my opinion, parents should let their children do that they
should do alone.

Empathy
Last year, researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy, the ability to understand other people, among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years. __1.__ Today, people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.
Jennifer Freed, a co-director of a teen program, has another explanation. Turn on the TV, and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, competing, and generally treating one another with no respect. __2.__
There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related by nature. __3.__ Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. Besides, empathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear.
Empathy is also an indication of a good leader. In fact, Freed says, many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers. __4.__ “Academics are important. But if you don’t have emotional (情感的) intelligence, you won’t be as successful in work or in your love life,” she says.
What’s the best way to up your EQ (情商）? For starters, let down your guard and really listen to others. __5.__
To really develop empathy, you’d better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital, join a club or a team that has a diverse membership, have a “sharing circle” with your family, or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.
A. Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human—and having empathy is decisive to those relationships.
B. Everyone is different, and levels of empathy differ from person to person.
C. That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time, the researchers said.
D. “One doesn’t develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking,” Freed says.
E. Humans learn by example—and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic.
F. Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else—both what they think and how they feel.
G. Good social skills—including empathy—are a kind of “emotional intelligence” that will help you succeed in many areas of life.
