Huxley has pointed out that Western ladies did not take frequent baths【C2 】 _they were afraid to see

30、 their own naked bodies,and this moral concept delayed the【C3】_of the modern white-enam-eled bathtub for centuries. One can understand【C4】_in the design of old Chinese furniture there was so little consideration for human【C5】_only when we realize the Confucian atmosphere in which people moved about.

31、 Chinese redwood furniture was designed for people to sit【 C6】_in,because that was the only posture approved by society.

35、all fashionable clothes are 【C2】_ symbolic, so is food. We 【C3】 _ our furniture to serve 【C4】_ visible symbols of our taste, wealth, and social position. We often choose our houses 【C5】_ the basis of a feeling that it “looks well“ to have a “good address.“ We trade perfectly good cars in for 【C6】 _

36、models not always to get better transportation, but to give 【C7】_ to the community that we can 【C8】_ it.Such complicated and apparently 【C9】_ behavior leads philosophers to ask over and over again, “why cant human beings 【C10 】_ simply and naturally.“ Often the complexity of human life makes us look

37、 enviously at the relative 【C11 】_ of such live as dogs and cats. Simply, the fact that symbolic process makes complexity possible is no 【C12】_ for wanting to 【C13 】_ to a cat and to a cat-and-dog existence.
