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.

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 ____________ .
