        　　Although there is still a big wage     50    between men and women,the income working women     51    gives them new independence and buying power.For example,women now     52    about half of all cars.Not long ago,many cars dealers     53    women shoppers by ignoring them or suggesting that they come back with their husbands.Now car companies have realized that women are     54    customers.It‘s interesting that some leading Japanese car dealers were the first to     55    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     56     contrast with Japanese society that prompted American firms to pay more attention to women buyers.
