At some time in your life you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible. However, chances are that you don’t act on your impulse, but let it pass instead. You know that to commit the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomenon of taboo behavior is how it can change over the years within the same society, how certain behavior and attitudes once considered taboo can become perfectly acceptable and natural at another point in time. Topics such as death, for example, were once considered so upsetting and unpleasant that it was a taboo to even talk about them. Now with the publication of important books such as On Death and Dying and Learning to Say Goodbye, people have become more aware of the importance of expressing feelings about death and, as a result, are more willing to talk about this taboo subject.
One of the newest taboos in American society is the topic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat is a topic that Americans talk about constantly. It’s not taboo to talk about fat; it’s taboo to be fat. The "in" look is thin, not fat. In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking, trim(苗条的,身材修长的) executives to sell their image as well as their products to the public. The thin look is associated with youth, vigor and success. The fat person, on the other hand, is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self-respect. After all, people think, how can people who care about themselves, and therefore the way they took, permit themselves to become fat? In an image-conscious society like the US, thin is "in", fat is "out". [br] From the passage, we can infer taboo is______.
选项
A、a strong desire to do something strange or terrible
B、a crime committed on impulse
C、a behavior considered unacceptable by the public
D、an unfavorable impression left on other people
答案
C
解析
本题问从文章中我们可以推知taboo是指什么。根据文章第一段,在你的一生中,有时你可能会有一种强烈的欲望去做些离奇的或可怕的事情。但是,你可能没有冲动行事,而是打消了这种念头。你明白,做这样的事情在某些方面来说是错误的,并且他人不会接受这样的行为。而文章第二段第一句话指出,也许有关禁忌行为这一现象最有趣的是它如何在同一社会中随着时间的变化而发生变化,曾被视为禁忌的某些行为及态度是如何在过些时候便被认为是自然的事情而被完全接受。由此,我们可以推知taboo是指一种被公众所不接受的行为。因此,本题的正确答案应是C。
