问题     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 your impulse, but let it pass instead. You know that to commit    【M1】______
    the action is wrong in some way and that the other people will not    【M2】______
    accept your behavior.
    Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomena of             【M3】______   
    taboo behavior is how it can change over the years within the same
    society, how certain behavior and attitudes once considering taboo    【M4】______
    can become perfectly acceptable and natural at another point in time.
    Topics such as death, for example, were once considered so upset      【M5】______
    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 awared of the        【M6】______
    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. Like【M7】______
    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 "in" look is thin,
    not fat. In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking,
    trim executives sell their image as well as their products to the     【M8】______
    public. The thin look is associated to youth, vigor, and success. The 【M9】______
    fat person, on the other hand, is thought of as lazy and lack in      【M10】______
    energy, self-discipline, and self-respect. In an image-conscious
    society like the U. S. , thin is "in" fat is "out"
【M8】
