Only children are happier than those with brothers or sisters, according to a new research which shows sibling rivalry (竞争) can have a serious effect on a child’s emotion.

Over half of the children surveyed said they had been bullied(欺负)by a sibling, and one in three said they had been hit,kicked or pushed by a sibling, others complained of name-calling and having their belongings stolen.

Other reasons for only children being much happier include not having to compete(竞争)for parents’ attention or share bedrooms with a sibling, said Gundi Knies, a researcher on the project.

Dr. Ruth Koppard, a child psychologist, said, “In an average home, the more children, the less privacy for each child. Some love sharing a bedroom with a sibling but they would rather choose to do it than have to do it”.

Homes with just one child make up nearly half of all families in Britain.

The study, to be published on Friday, questioned 2,500 young people. It also found that seven out of 10 teenagers are “very satisfied” with their lives.

Some students, parents and teachers in Shanghai were surveyed(调查) last month. According to the result of the survey, the generation gap (代沟) between students and parents as well as teachers is becoming wider. Here is what they said.

Voice of the students:

“Our parents hold too high expectations which put us under lots of pressure(压力). They care too much about our lives and studies,” one student said.

“It’s impolite that some students’ parents read their children’s diaries without permission!” one student said angrily.

“Some of our teachers are so serious that we can’t make friends with them at all,” another student said sadly.

Voice of the parents:

One mother said, “After school, my daughter usually locks herself into her room and spends lots of time talking with others on the phone. And I can’t stand her clothes and hairstyle!”

“I thought my son was doing very well in his studies. I didn’t realize I was being cheated by him until I got a call from his teacher,” said a father.

Voice of the teachers:

An English teacher said, “Today, the role of the teacher is to put knowledge into students’ brain. The power (权力) teachers have kept students away from them.”

“Some parents pay too much attention to their children’s grades. They never create a lively and colorful environment at home,” another teacher said.

“In the past, teachers and students often played games together or talked with each other. Today, only studies and grades are talked about,” said a teacher.

Angela Zou hardly writes text messages now. Sitting at her office desk, Zou asked her iPhone, where they should eat. When it buzzes seconds later, she lifts it to her ear for her friend’s reply. The conversation goes back and forth through these pieces of words before they decide on the place for lunch.

Like millions of others across Asia, Zou is using WeChat, a smartphone app developed in China, to send voice messages, snapshots (快照) and emotions (表情符号) to her friends. Now that its walkietalkie-style (对讲机式) messages have become everywhere, she said typing feels like hard work.

WeChat’s popularity has grown quickly since it came into use in 2011. Tencent, the company that developed the app, announced in September that its users had doubled in six months to 200 millions. Most users are in China, though WeChat is being used across Asia and already has users in the US and the UK.

Historically, it has proved difficult for Chinese Internet firms to develop in foreign countries. But WeChat is becoming the first Chinese social media application with the possibility to go to the whole world.

WeChat is similar to the popular US-based mobile messaging service WhatsApp, but it does more. It comes in eight languages including English, Arabic and Russian.

“I used WhatsApp before I came back to China from studying abroad and found all my friends were using WeChat,” said Zou, who is 25. “Now when I want to contact someone I use WeChat first.” The app’s features include Look Around, which allows users to chat to strangers nearby, while Moments works like Instagram.

1. Why does Angela Zou hardly write text messages now?

2. What is WeChat used to do?

3.Which company of China developed WeChat?

4.Where is Wechat used?

5.What do you think of Wechat?
