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

should do is to become more considerate towards their old parents.
After years of hard work, they are worthy of such consideration.
