One can understand, why in the design of old Chine furniture there was so little 3 for human comfort only when we realize the Confucian atmosphere in which people moved about. Chine redwood furniture was designed for people to sit upright in, becau that was the only posture 4 by society. Even Chine emperors had to sit on a throne on which I would not think of remaining for more than five minutes, and for that matter the English kings were just as badly off. Cleopatra went about 5 on a couch carried by rvants, becau 6 she had never heard of Confucius. If Confucius should have en her doing that, he would certainly have 7 her shins with a stick, as he did to one of his old disciples, Yuan Yan, when the latter was found sitting in an 8 posture. In the Confucian society in which we lived, gentlemen and ladies had to 9 themlves perfectly erect, at least on formal occasions, and any sign of putting one's leg up would be at once considered a sign of vulgarity and lack of 10.

解析：解析：此处应填入名词，作介词of的宾语。由并列连词and推断，lack of——和a sign of vulgarity表达的意思相近，lack of．．．意为“缺乏……”，有否定之义，因此空格处应填入和vulgarity相反的名词，词库中culture“修养”一词符合语境。干扰项ignorance“无知，愚昧”与vulgarity意义相近，代入之后与文意正好相反，故排除。

For women, talk 1 intimacy. Marriage is an orgy(狂欢)of cloness: you can tell your feelings and thoughts, and still be loved. Women's greatest 2 is being pushed away. But men live in a hierarchical world, where talk maintains independence and status. They are on 3to protect themlves from being put down and pushed around. This 4the paradox of the talkative man who said of his silent wife, "She's the talker." In 5 ttings, he feels challenged to show his intelligence and 6 his understanding. But at home, where he has nothing to prove and no one to defend against, he is free to remain silent. For his wife, being home means she is 7 from the worr

A graduate of Wooster High School and now a nior biology major at the College of Wooster, Kli acknowledges that he may someday have cond thoughts about his decision to limit the time he has spent socializing, but for now, he is 3 with the choices he has made.
