问题   There’s a dirty little secret in many American homes--couples
fight about the housework. It’s No. 1 issue my husband and I argue  【M1】______
about. We argue over who is doing more, who should be doing which
chores, and why my standards are unrealistic. There is always too
much to take care and, with two kids, neither one of us has the energy  【M2】______
to keep top of it all. When the laundry, dirty dishes, and dust pile 【M3】______
out, I feel stressed and resentful and the fighting begins. Most 【M4】______
couples are trying to split three full-time jobs--his, her, and managing 【M5】______
the house--between two people. There just aren’t enough hours in
the day. The current arrangement is leading to a nation of tired,
angry couples with no time to relax with each other and their children. 【M6】______
It is estimated that the first child triggers an increase of 21 hours of
chores per week, not included childrearing, while each additional   【M7】______
child adds 6 hours of chores. The average American mother, whether
she works out of the home or not, spends 35 hours a week doing
housework. When you think about the time has spent on cleaning, 【M8】______
cooking, grocery shopping, the yardwork, and laundry, it’s clear that
managing a home is no small feat. So many of our parents got along  【M9】______
without household help, the amount of hands-on parenting time at
home has increased dramatic in the past 20 years. It’s no longer safe   【M10】______
in most areas to let children play in the front yard or out in the
neighborhood unsupervised.
【M4】
选项
答案out改成up
解析 固定搭配错误。pile out表示“挤出，走出”，例如：Edward parked by the river and we all piled out．pile up意为“堆积，积累，搁浅”，例如：The traffic starts piling up around this time．此句意为“当积满脏衣物、碗碟、灰尘时，我感到充满怨恨与压力，争吵又开始了”。
