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 nowadays society is the topic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat is a
topic that people talk about constantly. It’s not taboo to talk about fat; it’s taboo to be 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, thin is “in”, fat is “out”.
【2】46. According to the passage, we can infer that taboo is ________________.
• a crime committed on impulse
‚ a behavior considered unacceptable by the public
ƒ a strong desire to do something strange or terrible
„ an unfavorable impression left on other people
【4】47. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
• People are quite ignorant of the importance of expressing feelings about death today.
‚ It is taboo to talk about fat.
ƒ Fat is a topic that people talk about very little.
„ The topic of fat is different from many other taboo subjects.
【3】48. Based on the ideas presented in the passage we can conclude that, in nowadays society, “being fat”
________________.
• is associated with youth, vigor and success
‚ will always remain a taboo
ƒ may no longer be a taboo someday
„ is not considered a taboo by most people
【4】49. The expression that thin is “in” and fat is “out” probably means ________________.
• thin is “inside” and fat is “outside”
‚ thin is “diligent” and fat is “lazy”
ƒ thin is “spiritless” and fat is “vigorous”
„ thin is “fashionable” and fat is “unfashionable”
【2】50. In the last sentence of the passage, the phrase “image-conscious society” can be replaced by
________________.
• very imaginative society with nice appearance
‚ the society in which image has been attached importance to
ƒ fast-developing society which is built on a clear image
„ the society whose image has been ruined because of money
