At some time in your life you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible.【R1】______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 behaviors and attitudes once considered taboo can become perfectly acceptable and natural at another point in time.【R2】______Now with the publication of important books such as On Death and Dying and Learning to Say Good-bye, people have become more aware of the importance of expressing feelings of death and, as a result, are more willing to talk about this subject.
【R3】______Unlike many other taboos, fat is a topic that Americans talk about constantly. It is 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 executives to sell their images as well as their products to the public. The thin look is associated with youth, vigor, and success.【R4】______After all, people think, how can people who care about themselves, and therefore the way they look, permit themselves to become fat? 【R5】______
It’s not surprising, then, that millions of Americans have become obsessed with staying slim and "in shape". The pursuit of youthful physical appearance is not, however, the sole reason for American’s obsession with diet and exercise.【R6】______As in most technologically developed nations, the life-style of North Americans has changed dramatically during the course of the last century. Modern machines do all the physical labor that people were once forced to do by hand. Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point.【R7】______In an effort to avoid such a fate, millions of Americans are spending more of their time exercising.【R8】______parks are filled with joggers and bicyclists, physical education programs are enjoying a newly found prestige, and many companies are providing special exercise facilities for their employees to use during the workday.
A. One of the newest taboos in American society is the topic of fat.
B. However, chances are that you won’t act on your impulse, but let it pass instead.
C. In an image-conscious society like the US, thin is "in", fat is "out".
D. As a result of inactivity and disuse, people’s bodies can easily become weak and vulnerable to disease.
E. Topics such as death, for example, were once considered so upsetting and unpleasant that it was a taboo to even talk about them.
F. Recent research has shown the critical importance of diet and exercise for personal health.
G The fat person, on the other hand, is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self- discipline, and self-respect.
H. The effect of this new appreciation of the importance of exercise is evident:
