问题     The flood of women into the job market boosted economic growth and changed the US society in many ways. Many in-home jobs that used to be done【C1】________by women—ranging from family shopping to preparing meals to doing【C2】________work—still need to be done by someone. Husbands and children now do some of these jobs, a【C3】________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【C4】________between men and women, the income working women【C5】________gives them new independence and buying power. For example, women now【C6】________about half of all cars. Not long ago, many car dealers【C7】________women shoppers by ignoring them or suggesting that they come back with their husbands. Now car companies have realized that women are【C8】________customers. It’s interesting that some leading Japanese car dealers were the first to【C9】________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 【C10】________contrast with Japanese society that prompted American firms to pay more attention to women buyers.
