（2014江苏苏锡常镇四市一模）
It was 7:30 in the morning. As usual I was on the subway to school．It was so crowded with people that it felt like the air conditioner wasn't working. I was standing there looking around. Then, I saw an old lady get on the train with a 7-year-old child who seemed to be her grandson.
A warm-hearted gentleman generously offered his seat to the old lady. Instead of sitting down herself, however, the old lady called her grandson over and told him to sit.
Sooner or later, children mature and step into the complicated world. Love is necessary in the early development of children, yet, to the disappointment of many, too much love definitely prevents children from learning the rules of the real world. Teaching the child about the rules of society within the family helps the child to achieve success later. By giving up seats to their children, grandparents may destroy kids' best chance for character development.
写作内容］
1.以约30个词概括上文的主要内容。

参考范文：
1.It’s common in our country that parents or grandparents often spoil the kids. For example, parents or grandparents will buy shoes of famous brands to satisfy their needs, no matter how expensive they are. What’s worse, they provide kids with whatever they want and ask them to do nothing in return.
2.As a result, serious consequences will be caused. When these spoiled children grow up, many of them may greatly disappoint their parents. Some of them even commit crimes. If it happens, who is to blame?
3.I think parents or grandparents are not supposed to spoil kids. Kids should go through hardships or do what they can do to help parents or other people. Only by doing so can they be independent and responsible.
