    A few years ago, a university professor tried a little experiment. He sent Christmas cards to a sample of perfect strangers. Although he expected some reaction, the response he received was amazing - holiday cards addressed to him came pouring back from the people who had never met nor heard of him. The great majority of those who returned a card never inquired into the identity of the【C1】________ professor. They received his holiday greeting card, and they【C2】________ sent one in return. This study shows the action of one of the most powerful of the weapons of influence around us — the rule for reciprocation.
    The rule says that we should try to repay, in【C3】________ , what another person has provided us. If a woman does us a favor, we should do her【C4】________ in return; if a man sends us a birthday present, we should remember his birthday with a gift of our own; if a【C5】________ invites us to a party, we should be sure to invite them to one of ours. By【C6】________ of the reciprocity rule, then, we are obliged to the future repayment of favors, gifts, invitations, and the like. So typical is it for【C7】________ to accompany the receipt of such things that a term like "much obliged" has become a synonym for "thank you," not only in the English language but in others as well.
    The impressive aspect of the rule for reciprocation and the sense of obligation that【C8】________ with it is its pervasiveness in human culture. It is so【C9】________ that after intensive study, sociologists can report that there is no human society that does not【C10】________ to the rule.
【C3】
选项
答案G
解析 上下文题。首先根据空格前的in可判断此处应填入名词。其次，空格部分为插入语，可以看到主句为“The rule says that we should try to repay what another person has provided us．”意为“这条规则规定我们应当对另一个人所给予我们的东西加以回报”，此处空格部分表示回报的方式。而根据上下文，这种回报是出于礼貌和义务的机械行为，因此indebtedness“亏欠，受恩惠”和manner“礼貌”与文意相吻合，因此本题答案为manner。
