A. disgraceful B. imperfect C. hold D. consideration E. approved F. accordingly G. naked H. wandering I. incorrect J. ignorance K. rise L. culture M. reclining N. struck O. apparently There is a closer relationship between morals and architecture and interior decoration than we suspect. Huxley has pointed out that Western ladies did not take frequent baths because they were afraid to see their own【C1】______ bodies, and this moral concept delayed the【C2】______ of the modern white-enameled bathtub for centuries. One can understand, why in the design of old Chinese furniture there was so little【C3】______ for human comfort only when we realize the Confucian atmosphere in which people moved about. Chinese redwood furniture was designed for people to sit upright in, because that was the only posture【C4】______ by society. Even Chinese 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【C5】______ on a couch carried by servants, because【C6】______ she had never heard of Confucius. If Confucius should have seen her doing that, he would certainly have【C7】______ her shins with a stick, as he did to one of his old disciples, Yuan Yan, when the latter was found sitting in an【C8】______ posture. In the Confucian society in which we lived, gentlemen and ladies had to 【C9】______ themselves 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【C10】______.

First came the makers of cars and all the parts that go into them. Then came the garages, filling stations and all sorts of other car-dependent【C2】______: car parks, motels, out-of-town shopping centres. Now another revolution on wheels is on the horizon: the driverless car. Nobody is sure when it will【C3】______. Google, which is testing a fleet of autonomous cars, thinks in maybe a decade, others reckon longer. And, when it does, the self-driving car, like the ordinary kind, could bring【C4】______ change.
