    Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomenon of taboo (禁忌) behavior is how it can change【C5】______the years within the same society, how【C6】______behavior and attitudes once considered taboo can become perfectly【C7】______and natural at another point in time. Topics such as death, for

The thin look is【C16】______with youth, vigor, and success. The fat person, on the【C17】______hand, is thought of as lazy and【C18】______in energy, self-discipline, and self-respect. In the final analysis, people think, how can people who care about themselves, and therefore the【C19】______they look, permit themselves to become fat? In an image-conscious society like the U.S., thin is "in", fat is "out".
    It’s not surprising, then, that millions of Americans have become obsessed with staying thin and "in【C20】______".
