But she’s not interested. At least, not if her prospective husband is Japanese.A growing number of Japanese women are giving up on their male counterparts, and taking a gamble that looking abroad for love will bring them the qualities in a partner that seem rare at home. They treat you like equals, and they don’t hesitate to express mutual feelings of respectI think Western men are more adept at such things than Japanese men, says the 36-year-old Ms. Mizuguchi, who works at a top trading firm. They don’t act like women are maidsI think they view women as individuals.Underscoring that Japanese women are losing hope with the local boys, dating agencies to help snag a Western husband have sprung up in Tokyo, some with branches in the US and Europe. Such companies rigorously vet their clients, screening for education, family background, occupation, and life goals. The kind of women who sign up for such services include doctors, lawyers, and other professionalswomen who have delayed marriage to concentrate on careers and who aren’t keen to give up hard won gains to become a housewife, as many Japanese men expect. A generation of women who are now entering their 30s don’t want to give up single life unless prospective partners are willing to break from traditional gender roles.Government polls conducted to find out why women have put off marriage until well after 25 years of ageknown as a woman’s ’best before’ dateshow that economic independence is key to the change. As most Japanese women have their own income, marriage is no longer a financial necessity and women want to find companionship in a husband. Having ruled out an old-fashioned Japanese husband, many women here think the solution is a Western man. Indeed, some seem so enthralled with the idea that they are willing to spend’ thousands of dollars to inspect the wares personally.To be fair, not all the blame for female angst here can be laid on Japanese men The government has been slow to enforce equal opportunity laws, and both pay and the glass ceiling in’ most Japanese corporations remain low for women. Recession has hampered longer maternity leave and other family friendly policies. As Japan’s fertility rate drops to new lows, the government is anxiously drawing up plans to make it easier for young couples to raise children, through such measures as the provision of cheap public homing.By "glass ceiling...remain low for women", the author intends to show that in most corporations（） A．more conveniences are provided for females. B．females have little chance for promotion. C．women work in poor office conditions. D．women are always the victims of recession. 8.Text 1The Japanese government wants women like Taeko Mizuguchi to get married and start doing something about the nation’s plunging birthrate.
