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".
In the last sentence of the passage, the phrase "image-conscious society" can be replaced by
选项
A、very imaginative society with nice appearance
B、fast-developing society which is built on a clear image
C、the society whose image has been ruined because of money
D、the society in which image has been attached importance to
答案
D
解析
细节题。文中第四段具体解释了胖与瘦的外表在人们心中的形象,可以就此判断image在此处就是指的这种形象。结合上下文,我们可以知道image conscious society就是形象意识强的社会,人们都很注重自己的外表形象。故选D。
