VII. Read the passage below and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each
question.

Most young couples have meals regularly in their parents' home with little or no pay, and
give their children to the care of old couples free of charge. Investigations have shown
that parents of many young couples don't mind providing meals and caring for their
children. However, this practice should not 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 couples to make 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 long years of hard work, they are worthy of such consideration.

A. old couples

A. pay for the meals they have in their parents' home.

C. look after their children themselves
D. spend less on clothing or furnishing and more on food
Câu 48: The writer thinks it is...................... for old couples to provide meals or care for
their married children.
A. understandable
B. right

C. wrong
D. an accepted social custom
Câu 49: 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 degrees is that their
income is smaller.
C. Old couples should give money to their children instead of providing meals or caring
for them.
D. It would be natural that if young couples went on depending on their old parents they
