问题     The flood of women into the job market boosted economic growth and changed U.S. society in many ways. Many in-home jobs that used to be done 【S1】______ by women—ranging from family shopping to preparing meals to doing 【S2】______ work—still need to be done by someone. Husbands and children now do some of these jobs, a 【S3】______ that has changed the target market for many products. Or a working woman may face a crushing "poverty of time" and look for help elsewhere, creating opportunities for producers of frozen meals, child care centers, dry cleaners, financial services, and the like.
    Although there is still a big wage 【S4】______ between men and women, the income working women 【S5】______ gives them new independence and buying power. For example, women now 【S6】______ about half of all cars. Not long ago, many car dealers 【S7】______ women shoppers by ignoring them or suggesting that they come back with their husbands. Now car companies have realized that Women are 【S8】______ customers. It’s interesting that some leading Japanese car dealers were the first to 【S9】______ pay attention to women customers. In Japan, fewer women have jobs or buy cars—the Japanese society is still very much male-oriented. Perhaps it was the 【S10】______ contrast with Japanese society that prompted American firms to pay more attention to women buyers.
