At some time in your life you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible. 【C1】______, chances are that you don’t act on your impulse, 【C2】______let it pass instead. You know that to【C3】______the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not【C4】______your behavior.
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
example, were once considered so【C8】______and unpleasant that it was a taboo to even talk about them. Now people have become more aware【C9】______the importance of expressing feelings about death and, 【C10】______, are more willing to talk about this taboo subject.
One of the newest taboos in American society is the topic of fat. 【C11】______many other taboos, fat is a topic that Americans talk about【C12】______. It’s not taboo to talk about fat; it’s taboo to be fat. The "in" look is【C13】______, not fat. In the work world, most companies【C14】______youthful-looking, trim executives to sell their image as【C15】______as their products to the public. 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】______".

A、upsetting
B、encouraging
