Moore is one of an estimated 15 million-plus Americans seen as devoted followers of dieting advisor Dr. Robert Atkins, who【C1】______eating a diet high in protein for those who want to lose weight and keep it off.

    "Our industry has to do something, and soon. It is starting to become a【C5】______belief that carbohydrates are bad," said Judi Adams, director of the Wheat Foods Council, a society of industry players that includes ConAgra, General Mills and Kellogg Co.

The strategy is a direct attack on Atkins: Americans who follow the Atkins diet increase their risk of health problems that include cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, kidney damage and some cancers, the Wheat Foods Council says. Adding【C8】______to injury, it claims that Atkins followers can also suffer headaches, constipation and bad breath.
    According to Atkins, he is not looking to go to war with the food companies, and even Atkins die-hards allow for an【C9】______doughnut or cookie. "We teach people how to respect it and, on rare occasions, have it in【C10】______," he said. "We know people can’t stay away from it forever."
    A. mainstream B. top C. profitable D. occasional
    E. Currently F. panicking G. proceedings H. hasty
    I. recommends J. insult K. teachings L. revisions
    M. Empirically N. moderation O. merge [br] 【C10】

解析 此处应为名词。根据该句中的rare occasions可以知道Atkins主张可以偶尔吃吃碳水化合物食品，但也要控制数量，have it in moderation意为“适量地吃”，因此moderation为本题答案。
