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 taboo 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 "in" 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-discipline, and self-respect. In an image-conscious society like the U. S. , thin is "in", fat is "out".
It's not surprising, then, that millions of Americans have become obsessed with staying slim and "in shape". The pursuit of a youthful physical appearance is not, however, the sole reason for America's fascination with diet and exercise. Recent research has shown the critical importance of diet and exercise for personal health. 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. As a result of inactivity and disuse, people's bodies can easily become weak and vulnerable to disease. In an effort to avoid such a fate, millions of Americans are spending more of their time exercising.
From the passage we can infer taboo is ______.

Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE？
A mother will affect her unborn baby on the condition that ______.
Changes in the way we work are going to provide one of the most important spurs to the growth in the use of this technology. Mobile working is making traditional communications methods obsolete and rapid information exchange a priority. Video conferencing is well positioned to help companies who have a heavy reliance on immediate employee communications to meet this need in the ever-changing working environment.
For those who are new to video conferencing it is worth defining the key areas of video conferencing to help in understanding the market. Video conferencing enables audio and video transmission between separate locations from anywhere in the world. Video conferences can be point-to-point exactly like a telephone call, or multi-point enabling virtual meetings amongst three or more locations to take place, both most commonly using an ISDN network.
Multi-point conferences require a physical device called a Multi-point Contro Unit (MCU) or "bridge". The MCU's function is to recognize that each participant is using an industry standard and then connect all the participants together. The technical complexities of operating a bridge requires a telecom department within a organization. However most choose to avoid the costs and work associated with this and use a multi-point service provider which is where AT&T expertise lies.
Intel who produce the Proshare desktop conferencing software were actively targeting the business markets and trying to drive down the cost of video conferencing, they believe video conferencing will be "the norm" in the future and as common as any other software currently residing on your PC.
The main advantage of the desktop product is the data sharing capability, which allows a user to hunch a software application and share it with other users. The power of this is clear to sec. Documents can be agreed and amended with desktop users throughout the world in real-time, instead of faxing documents backwards and forwards with comments or trying to make changes over the phone which often leads to mistakes being made. In a multi-point environment application sharing operates using the T. 120 industry standard.
Your PC is always available to you on your desk and all you need to do to set up a meeting with three or mote people is to reserve a call with a multi-point service provider such as AT＆T and dial into a bridge. You can then be linked with up to 24 different worldwide locations. Not only will you save time and money, you will also develop more effective face to face working relationships with your colleagues, customers or suppliers.
From the passage, we can safely infer that ______.
