　　Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter.Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.

In cities such as London and New York, people of different social and economic classes were suddenly crammed together, so they　 9 　developed a commonly-understood rule of polite behavior and space to restrict the area around them.
　　People exhibit nonverbal messages of　 10 　when their zones are violated. Invaded people might pull at their hair, become rigid, or even become angry. As Hall noted in his work, a comfortable conversation needs to include the range of human personal space.
