I Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions below:

Most young couples have meals regularly in their parents’ home with little or

no pay, and give their children to the care of old couple free of charge Investigations have shown that parents of many couples don’t mind providing meals and caring for their children However, this practice shouldn’t become an accepted social custom

The old couples’ expense on food has already increased while young couples

spend more on clothing and furnishing and less on food If this trend continues,

many young couples might take these privileges for granted and become more dependent

It is not the right for young peoples to make the use of the old couples’ love, not only because our nation is well – known for its special respect paid to the elderly , but also because the young must become independent What young people should do is to become more considerate towards their old parents

After years of hard work, they are worthy of such consideration

31 Most married young couples

A live in with their parents

B have meals regularly in their parents’ home for they have little or no fee

C have not become independent completely

D pay no respect to the elderly

32 The writer thinks it is for old couples to provide meals or care for their married children

33 According to the passage, young couple should _

A spend less on clothing and furnishing and more on food

B look after their children themselves

C be less demanding and more caring towards their old parents

D pay for the meals they have in their parents’ home

34 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A What troubles young people most is that no one will look after their children

except their own parents

B The reason why young couples depend on their parents to different degree is that

their home is smaller

C Old couple should give money to their children instead of providing meals or

caring for them

they would have to provide meals and caring for their children when they get

married
