The prefecture of Saitama, which borders Tokyo, may follow in the footsteps of t
16、he western city of Kyoto and urge convenience stores to close during late night hours in an effort to limit carbon dioxide emissions.Kyoto, a former capital, wants to persuade convenience and other 24-hour stores to close late at night so as to improve evening views of the city and cut down on energ
17、y use. The Nikkei said closures could last from 11 p. m. to 7 a. m. The move is strongly opposed by the industry, which fears a withering impact on an already troubled sector also grappling with the specter of a higher tobacco tax, which could hit overall sales.“Even if we only operate the stores fo
18、r 16 hours, we cant stop the refrigerators,“ said Toshiro Yamaguchi, the president of Seven-Eleven Japan Co.

During the Revolution, the colonies were desperate. They needed men to lead their small ships against the British fleet. Jo
29、nes was more than willing to fight.John Paul Jones had once been a captain of a British merchant ship. In 1773 , his crew mutinied. One member of the crew tried to gain control of the ship. Jones shot the man to death. The mutiny took place near the port of Tobago, an island in the Caribbean. Author
30、ities there decided to have a trial. This meant certain death for John Paul Jones, since the whole crew would testify against him. One night during a thunderstorm, he escaped from the jail.He fled to the United States and lived with a family named Jones. His real name was John Paul. He added the nam
31、e of Jones to his, in honor of the family. He outwitted the British ships that were sent to hunt him down.When the American Revolution ended he went to serve in the Russian navy. There, he fought the Turks and achieved one of the few major naval victories in the history of Russia. He died in Paris a

34、 would anyone want to push themselves into the public eye?“ Famous people have usually experienced a negative event during childhoodoften its the loss of a parent, or rejection from a key figure in their life at a younger age,“ said Professor Cary Cooper. He suggested that“their motivator is therefo
35、re to achieve something they thought they couldnt manage“.He added that their fame often takes them away from “ordinary people“ , and theyre “thrown into a celebrity group of other people who are insecure“.Canadian psychologist Mark Schaller argued that exposure to fame inevitably produces psycholog
36、ical disturbance. The famous become more chronically self-conscious and self-aware because of all the attention.Famous people constantly experience that “merely momentary discomfort“ of heightened self-consciousness you feel when someone points a camera at you, said Dr Persaud. And Prof Cooper said
37、celebrities often suffer from depression, and turning to drink or drugs could be a result of them often feeling “lonely when not on stage“. Being away from home a lot, being under the scrutiny of the press, difficulty sustaining relationshipsall of this “makes them vulnerable“ and often has a “stres
38、s-related outcome“.And, of course, the publics fascination with celebrities helps fuel their fame. But why do people find them so exciting? Prof Cooper said it is all about our need for “ communality“a feeling of belonging. We talk about people in the public eye and use people as metaphors in public
39、 life for our own lives. But he added that we do not actually care about them as individualsunfortunately for the celebrities we are interested only in how their own lives might reflect our own.37 Many people need to be famous because they want_.（A）the money（B） to follow their parents steps（C） to be
