问题     There is probably no sphere of human activity in which our values and lifestyles are reflected more vividly than they are in the clothes that we choose to wear. The dress of an individual is a kind of " sign language" that【C1】______a complex set of information and is usually the【C2】______on which immediate impressions are formed traditionally. A concern for clothes was considered a feminine preoccupation, while men took pride【C3】______the fact that they were completely lacking in clothes consciousness.
    This type of American culture is gradually changing as man’s dress takes on greater variety and color. Even【C4】______1995, a research in Michigan revealed that men attached high importance to the value of clothing in daily life. White collar workers in particular viewed dress as a【C5】______capable of manipulation, that could be used to impress or influence others, especially in the work situation. The white-collar worker was described as【C6】______concerned about the impression his clothing made on his superiors. Although blue-collar workers were less【C7】______that they might be judged on the basis of their clothing, they recognized that any difference for the【C8】______pattern of dress would draw ridicule from fellow workers.
    Since that time, of course, the【C9】______have changed: the typical office worker may now be【C10】______blue shirt, and the laborer a white shirt; but the importance of dress has not diminished.
【C5】
选项 A、signal
