Japanese women， for example， can expect to live 82 years， ‎ which is the longest in the world. Just 50 years ago， Japanese women could expect to ‎ live only 54 years. ‎ ‎ Many women are working today. In Japan， 75% of women are working now， ‎ compared to 37% 50 years ago. The reason why so many women are working is that ‎ they’re getting more education these days. The rate of Japanese women going to junior ‎ college and universities is higher than the rate for men. In 1947， the average Japanese ‎ woman got married at the age of 23. Today， the average age is 26. At the same time， ‎ divorce has increased by 50%. ‎ ‎ As for having babies， today the birth rate is only 1.5 babies for each woman. Fifty ‎ years ago， the birth rate was much higher， 4.5 babies. ‎ ‎ In a recent survey， Japanese women were asked whether they would choose to be ‎ a man or a woman in the future life. 65% said they would prefer to be born again as a ‎ woman. In 1960， only 27% said they would want to be a woman again in the future. This ‎ suggests that nowadays more Japanese women are happier with their lives. ‎ ‎ 36. The rate of women who are working now has increased by ______ percent ‎ compared with 50 years ago. ‎ ‎ A. 37 B. 38 C. 50 D. 75 ‎ ‎ 37.
