问题     The Japanese desire for marriage had been very strong. In the fifth "world youth attitude survey"【C1】______by the Management and coordination Agency in 1993, over 70 percent of the Japanese【C2】______chose the answers "One should get married"or "It’s better to get married. "Of the 11 countries surveyed,Japan was【C3】______only by the Philippines in the percentage advocating marriage【C4】______opposed to a single life.
    In recent years,however,there has been a spreading recognition among the Japanese public that something【C5】______is happening in people’s attitudes toward marriage.
    When they began to have adequate food,clothing and shelter years of postwar shortages and thus became able to【C6】______their attention to other matters, the Japanese for the first time【C7】______a renewed look at the question of marriage. In the 1990s,people began to ask "What on earth is marriage anyway? " and to talk about marriage itself.
    In Japan, the proportion of men still unmarried in their thirties reached about 20 percent in the national census taken in 1985, and the【C8】______apparently exceeded 30 percent in 1995. The proportion of unmarried women in the 25-29 age bracket has been increasing【C9】______about 5 percent every five years until it is now nearly 50 percent.
    What are the real reasons that women choose not to marry? Early on, two were【C10】______:women were now better educated and more women were interested in working outside the home. Many women have become【C11】______independent,acquiring enough self-confidence to【C12】______a meaningful life outside of marriage. And【C13】______seems to be a wide gap in the way men and women view marriage. Women generally believe that,【C14】______women’s roles in Japan’s postwar society have become diversified,men have essentially remained unchanged.【C15】______such circumstances,communication between the sexes is,in fact,far from easy.
    Besides that,in the postwar Japan,individualism has begun to take【C16】______. The 50 years since the end of the war be regarded as process of a【C17】______from the family-centered to the individual-centered way of thinking. In Japan today, society has matured to a point【C18】______it now tolerates a diversity of marriage styles which were unthinkable not very long ago. In the future,such tolerance is almost【C19】______to in-crease. But a headlong plunge toward unbridled individualism is also dangerous. The ideal【C20】______may be to achieve a complementary fusion of the collectivism of Japan’s traditional community and the individual-ism of the new age. [br] 【C3】
