The process by【C1】______of which human beings arbitrarily make certain things stand for other things may be called the symbolic process. Everywhere we turn, we see the symbolic process at work. There are few things men do or want to do, possess or want to possess, that have not a symbolic value. Almost all fashionable clothes are【C2】______(high)symbolic, so is food. We【C3】s______our furniture to serve as visible symbols of our taste, wealth, and social position. We often choose our houses on the【C4】______of a feeling that it "looks well" to have a "good address. " We trade perfectly good cars in for【C5】______(late)models not always to get better transportation, but to give evidence to the community that we can【C6】______it. Such complicated and apparently【C7】______(use)behavior leads philosophers to ask o- ver and over again, " why can't human beings live simply and naturally. " Often the complexity of human life makes us look enviously at the relative【C8】sim______of such lives as dogs and cats. Simply, the fact that symbolic process makes complexity possible is no reason for wanting to【C9】______to a cat-and-dog existence. A better solution is to understand the symbolic process so that instead of being its slaves we become, to some degree at least, its【C10】______.

February 14 is Valentine's Day. Although it is celebrated as a lovers' holiday today, with rite giving of candy, flowers, or other gifts between couples in love, it originated in 5th Century Rome as a tribute【C1】______St. Valentine, a Catholic bishop. For eight hundred years before the【C2】______(establish)of Valentine's Day, the Romans had【C3】pr______a pagan(异教徒)celebration in mid-February honoring young men's ceremony of passage to the god Lupercus. The celebration was characterized by lottery in【C4】 ______young men would draw the names of【C5】teen______girls from a box. The girl given to each young man in this way would be his companion the rest of the year. In an effort to do away with such a【C6】f _____, Pope Gelasius ordered a slight change in the lottery. Instead of the names of young women, the box would contain the names of saints. 【C7】______the men and women were allowed to draw from the box, and the game was to 【C8】imi______the ways of the saint they drew during the rest of rite year. However, many young Roman men were not too pleased【C9】the copying. Instead of the pagan god Lupercus, the Church looked for a suitable saint of love to take his【C10】p______. They found an appropriate choice in Valentine, who, in AD 270 had been killed by Enter Claudius.
