Maybe you often have arguments with your parents about clothes, homework, friends and many other personal things. But what’s going on when your parents fight with each other? Most teenagers must be sorry or even frightened when their parents fight. T hey might think their parents don’t love each other any more and that would lead to a divorce (离婚).

Fewer parents can hear the words “What can I do to help?” from their kids. Teenagers spend more time on video games, TV shows, computers and cell phones. So they hardly help with the housework.
Fewer parents think games can let their kids be away from the sofa —much less encourage them to do chores. But some chore apps (应用程序) really succeed in doing so.
You Rule Chores is one of the apps. Mrs. Wise says the app makes her three children compete to see who can do more housework. They help their mother do the laundry, walk the dog and do the dishes. Each child chooses one of the app’s avatars (化身), which include a pink kitty, a robot scientist and a policeman. Each time they finish a job, their avatars will be able to get new skills. 33.他们做的家务越多，得到的应用程序币就越多。

They can use the coins to watch their favorite videos and buy something on the Internet. “ It’s fun.” says one of Mrs. Wise’s children.
31.Teenagers help ________ with housework. (one word)
32.The underlined word “much less” means “________” in Chinese.
