问题     Much of the world should go on a diet in 2014. More than a third of adults【C1】________were estimated to be【C2】________or obese in 2008, according to a report by the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), a think tank in London. That’s a 23 per cent increase on 1980.
    In the last three decades, the number of adults estimated to be obese in the developing world has almost quadrupled to 904 million, overtaking the number in【C3】________countries.
    "The most shocking thing is the degree to which obesity is now【C4】________developing as well as developed economies," says Tim Lobstein of the International Association for the Study of Obesity in London. "The problems【C5】________by overconsumption of fats and【C6】________are now glob-al, not just Western, problems."
    The rise is【C7】________to a "creeping homogenisation" (spreading) of diets across the world, says the report, which says rising【C8】________, advertising and globalisation all play a part.
    It criticizes policy-makers in most countries for being slow or【C9】________to tackle the problem. "We see a big【C10】________in what governments recommend people eat as part of their【C11】________campaigns and what people actually eat," says Sharada Keats. "We need governments to【C12】________the scale of the problem and start putting in place【C13】________steps to tackle it."
    Some countries have【C14】________to go against the grain and【C15】________. For example, South Koreans ate four times more【C16】________in 2008 than they did in 1980. The report【C17】________this to government health drives, which include【C18】________programs on how to【C19】________low-fat meals, showing what governments can do when they【C20】________.  
【C14】
选项 A、managed
B、planned
C、decided
D、intended
答案A
解析 空格前的to g0 against the grain意为“走相反的方向，背道而驰”。上一段开头提及“大多数国家的政策制定者因为拖延……处理这个问题而备受谴责”。而此处提到“有些国家走相反的方向”，说明这些国家对于肥胖问题的态度是积极的。且下文韩国的例子也说明这些国家成功做到了，故选A项managed“设法做到”。B项planned“计划”、C项decided“决定”和D项intended“打算”都表明还未实现，与下文给出韩国的例子相矛盾。
