So it was shocking when, on August 7^th, Tokyo Medical University, a prestigious medical school, confessed to     2     (mark) down the test scores of female applicants to keep the ratio of women in each class below 30%.

Their defence was that women are     3    (likely) to drop out to marry and have children. To judge female applicants     4    medical school purely on their merits would leave Japan with a shortage of doctors, they said. The admission has caused outrage.

Doctoring has long been a male bastion. But it is not the only one. Discrimination is common in banks and trading houses,     5    strength and loyalty, qualities somehow associated with men, are prized, says Mari Mliura, a political scientist at Sophia University.

The policy seems     7    (base) on the need for more workers     8    on genuine concern for women. Shinzo Abe, the prime minister, says he wants to bring millions more women into the workforce to make up for a labour shortage caused by its ageing and declining population.

She has almost no chance of winning.
