−40. Read the passage below carefully and choose the correct answer A, B, C, or D

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.
