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 the 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 "thin" look is thin, not fat.
In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking, trim 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 look, permit themselves to become fat? In an image-conscious society like the U. S. , thin is "in", fat is "out". [br] According to the passage, we can infer that taboo is______.
选项
A、a crime committed on impulse
B、an unfavorable impression left on other people
C、a behavior considered unacceptable by the public
D、a strong desire to do something strange or terrible
答案
C
解析
推理题。文中第一段讲到,有时人们可能会产生一些奇怪甚至是可怕的念头,然而人们会把这种强烈的冲动压制下去,因为人们知道那样做是错误的,而且其他人会对那样的行为持反对意见;再结合下文,可以看出,这里所说的其他人持反对意见的那种行为就是作者所指的禁忌。因此,说禁忌是一种公众无法接受的行为最为恰当。所以C选项是正确答案。
