问题     For to be a woman is to have interests and duties, raying out in all
directions from the central mother-core, like spokes from the hub of
a wheel. The pattern of our lives is essentially circling. We must be 【M1】______
opened to all points of the compass, husband, children, friends, home, com- 【M2】______
munity; we must be stretched out, exposed, sensible like a spider’s web to 【M3】______
each breeze that blows, to each call that comes. How difficult it is for us,
then, to achieve a balance in the mid of these contradictory tensions, and yet 【M4】______
how necessary for the proper function of our lives. 【M5】______
    With a new awareness, both painful and humorous, I begin to under
stand why saints were rarely married women. I am convinced it has nothing
inherent to do, as I once supposed, with chastity or children. It has to do 【M6】______
primarily with distractions. The bearing, rearing, feeding and educating of
children; the running of a house with its thousand details; human relation
ships with their myriads pulls—woman’s normal occupations in general run 【M7】______
against to creative life, or contemplative life, or saintly life. The problem is 【M8】______
not merely one of Woman and Career, Woman and the Home, Woman and
Independence. It is more basically how to remain wholly in the midst of 【M9】______
the distractions of life; how to remain balanced, no matter what centrifugal
forces tent to pull one off the center; and how to remain strong, no matter
whatever shocks come in at the periphery and tend to crack the hub of the wheel. 【M10】______
【M2】
选项
答案opened — open
解析 open既可以作形容词又可以作动词，这里最好把它作为形容词，意思是“我们必须面对罗盘的各个方向……”这里如果用opened则有一种强迫的意味，很奇怪。因此要能区分像open和close一样的词作动词用和作形容词用时在词义上的区别。
