  GRE阅读题目解析:历史上的严格禁忌

  P5

  Throughout human history there have been many stringent taboos concerning watching other people eat or eating in the presence of others.

  There have been attempts to explain these taboos in terms of inappropriate social relationships either between those who are involved and those who are not simultaneously involved in the satisfaction of a bodily need, or between those already satiated and those who appear to be shamelessly gorging.

  Undoubtedly such elements exist in the taboos, but there is an additional element with a much more fundamental importance.

  In prehistoric times, when food was so precious and the on-lookers so hungry, not to offer half of the little food one had was unthinkable, since every glance was a plea for life. (124 words)

  (A) had always had a plentiful supply of food

  (B) emphasized the need to share worldly goods

  (C) had a nomadic rather than an agricultural way of life

  (D) emphasized the value of privacy

  (E) discouraged overindulgence

  (C) limited availability of food

  13. Select the sentence in the passage in which the author suggests that past attempts to explain some taboos concerning eating are incomplete.
