    Almost all fashionable clothes are【C2】______ symbolic, so is food. We【C3】______our furniture to serve as visible symbols of our taste, wealth, and social position. We often choose our houses【C4】______ the basis of a feeling that it "looks well" to have a "good address." We trade perfectly good cars in for later models not always to get better transportation, but to give【C5】______ to the community that we can【C6】______ it.
    Such complicated and apparently unnecessary behavior leads philosophers to ask over and over again, "why can’t human beings【C7】______ simply and naturally." Often the complexity of human life makes us look enviously at the relative simplicity of such lives as dogs and cats. Simply, the fact that symbolic process makes complexity possible is no【C8】______ 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】______.
