Despite bankruptcies，lay off and tighter comsumers spending，a few femaleled businesses in Japan are developing well.

Shizue Hamada，52，set up a business in 1991 with eight other housewives-to care for the elderly and the physically disabled.

It wasn’t long before the Tasukeai Yui(mutual -aid group) earned a reputation for its excellent service. It now employs 200 staff and has 300 million yuan(US $2.4million)in annual sales.

The woman said their business has been successful because they provide what customrs really want.

These entrepreneurs are making use of a revalized and healthy demand for everyday basic items.

Bread，for instance，is in high demand．Business woman Meiko Tanaka，26，started selling high-quality bread over the Internet in 2000．“Bread is cheap，”she said.“We migh as well eat the bread baked using the the highest-quality ingredients.”

Five women—former office workers in their late 20s—have started the“OL Food Bureau of Investigation”to review restaurants on the Internet.OL means young office lady. It’s a common nickname in Japan．

Business is increasing rapidly．Membership for their online magazine has reached 26，000． Their non-professional comments seem to carry a lot of weight with consumers．This month the five women will be appearing on Japanese TV．

What all these female entrepreneurs have in common is a strong belief in their likes and dislikes，and confidence is their own sensibilities．

They find gaps in the market and fill them with products and services that they like or want.

Japanese women headed nearly 6 percent of all businesses in Japan at the end of June—up from 4.5 per cent in 1999．

These female—led micro—businesses are playing an increasingly large role in the economy by plugging the gap between supply and demand.

Husband and wife by Arrangement

Some Japanese still get married by parents’ arrangement. Yoshio and Hiromi Tanaka, a young Japanese couple living in the United States, told the story of their arranged marriage. “We didn’t marry for love in the western sense. We got married in the traditional Japanese way. Our parents arranged our marriage through a matchmaker（媒人）. In Japan we believe that marriage is something affecting the whole family rather than a matter concerning only the young couple. So we think it is very important to match people according to their social background, education and so on. When our parents thought it was time for us to get married, they went to a local matchmaker and asked her for some suggestions. We discuss the details and looked at the photos she sent, and then our parents asked her to arrange a marriage interview for the two of us.

A Japanese marriage interview is held in a public place, such as a hotel or a restaurant, and is attended by the boy and the girl, their parents and the matchmaker. Information about the couple and their families is exchanged over a cup of tea or a meal. Then the boy and the girl are left alone for a short time to get to know each other. When they returned home they have to tell the matchmaker whether they want to meet again or not.

Yoshio continued, “When our parents realized we were serious about each other, they started to make arrangements for our wedding. My family paid the marriage money to Hiromi’s. This is money to help pay for the wedding ceremony and for setting up the house afterwards. We also gave her family a beautiful ornament to put in the best room of their house, so everyone knew that Hiromi was going to marry.”

13．The Japanese think of the marriage of a young couple as .

A．a sign showing the love between them

B．an opportunity for their parents to show their love for their children

C．a private affair for the boy and the girl

D．an important matter having influence on the whole family

14．In arranging a marriage in Japan, the matchmaker plays all of the following roles except .

A．making arrangements for the wedding

B．providing the information the family need

C．arranging the marriage interview

D．attending the marriage interview

15．According to the passage, the best time to make arrangement for the wedding is .

A．when the young couple agree to meet again

B．when the young couple are sincere about their relation

C．when the parents think it is time for their children to get married.

D．when the parents are well-informed about each other’s family

16．According to the passage, what plays the most important role in the matching of young people in Japan? .

A．Their parents’ attitude B．Their family background

C．Their occupation D．Their love for each other
