Japan's Single Ladies

It is estimated that in Tokyo 70% of single working women choose to live with their parents and only 50%of them pay some rent. After graduating from college,these women came back to their nest and never left. With their mothers taking care of them,these young ladies are not in a hurry to get married,since they don't do housework or laundry,or cook.
Happily unmarried,these called"parasite single",who have become the focus of the Japanese society,interpret marriage as lower standard of living and less money."The problem is that Japan is very different from the United States or Europe,where after marriage it's still possible for a woman to pursue a career,even after having a baby.While in Japan usually the husband doesn't want the wife to work," says Mariko Kawana,who is 27 years old and works as a secretary. Her opinion is agreed by Mild Takasu,who carries a $2 ,900 Bubbery purse,and drives a BMW."If a woman realizes there is something she wants to do after having been married,it is almost unlikely for her to come back to it."
This is the first significant group of Japanese women to stay single beyond their early twenties. Their lifestyle and opinions define a kind of Tokyo yuppie.In the past 15 years,the number of women who are single into their late twenties has risen to 50%.
They are crazy about shopping,and they spend most of their salaries on luxury and leisure.According to a nationwide survey,in 2003 they surprisingly covered 15%share in the total outbound leisure travel market from Japan,so they are targeted by travel agencies as"the office ladies".In 2002,a shopping tour which concentrated only on shopping in Milan attracted 700 Japanese single ladies in two months,featured none of Italy's famous tourist attractions.The participants didn't even try famous Italian food,but grabbed snacks on the run to the outlet shops.
Girls like Miki,who are less affected by Japan's economic downturn,can afford this lifestyle because they live with their parents and they have jobs,and most of their incomes are disposable.
Opinions on these young women vary.Some people think that they are good for the economy because they spend their incomes on cars and clothes,while a large number of people think they are destroying society by refusing to get married and have children.Why did they only eat snacks in spite of famous Italian food?A:Because they can't afford it after spending so much money on clothing.B:Because they are not interested in food.C:Because they are not used to Italian food.D:Because they have no time to eat in restaurants.
选项 Why did they only eat snacks in spite of famous Italian food?
A:Because they can't afford it after spending so much money on clothing.
B:Because they are not interested in food.
C:Because they are not used to Italian food.
D:Because they have no time to eat in restaurants.
答案 D
解析 文章第一段最后一句“With their mothers taking care of them, these young ladies are not in a hurry to get married..."，由此可以推断出有母亲照顾她们，她们单身的生活很舒适，所以选C。
第二段提到了日本女性不愿结婚的几个原因，如生活标准降低，钱变少，婚后不太可能再出来上班，所以A、B、D正确。虽然提到了 baby，但却是在说欧美女性生完孩子后依然可以出来工作，所以选择C。
第四段开头提到她们把大部分的工资都花在奢侈品和休闲上，而且喜欢旅游这种休闲方式，因此A正确。
第四段提到旅行团的主题活动是购物，其次她们总是“…on the run to theoutlet shops"，由此可以推断出她们因为赶着去购物，所以没有时间去吃正餐而总是在路上吃零食，所以D正确。
最后一段的最后一句提出很多人认为这些单身女性“…destroying societyby refusing to get married and have children",所以可以推断出在某种程度上这类女性可以被看作是一种社会问题，因此D正确。
