根据下面内容,回答题:
Japan"s 24-hour convenience stores, already struggling with lagging sales and growth, may soon face yet another threat——moves to limit business hours and close the stores late at night. The prefecture of Saitama, which borders Tokyo, may follow in the footsteps of the 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 energy 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 for 16 hours, we can"t stop the refrigerators," said Toshiro Yamaguchi, the president of Seven-Eleven Japan Co. He said such cuts in operating hours wouldreduce each store"s profit by 20 percent. "If this happens, our current business model will lose its foundation. "
- Analysts said that while it is difficult to estimate the potential impact of the move without a concrete plan, their overall impression was that it was likely to be negative. "This could cut profits and lead to less efficient operations and the increas

People often speak of fire as though it were a living creature——It grows, dances, needs oxygen,feeds on whatever it can find, and then dies. And when a forest fire rages out of control, threatening human lives and homes, it must be fought like a "wild animal.

根据下面内容,回答题:
Have you ever heard of a flower whose seeds are carried and spread by elephants? The rafflesia, a rare blossom, is very unusual. Found in the rain forests of Sumatra, the rafflesia is the world"s largest flower, measuring three feet in diameter!
This giant flower is a parasite——it needs another plant to live on. It lacks the structures needed to survive alone, The rafflesia has no stem or leaves. It is all flower. It attaches itself to the roots of other plants and sucks their juices. The flower"s favorite home is the root of the vine, which grows above ground.
The rafflesia seems to burst right out of the forest floor. Its blossom weighs fifteen pounds ! It has thick, spotted petals that give off a rotten smell. The center is about the size of a household bucket.
- After a rain, it may hold up to twelve pints of water!
- After the rafflesia dies, it becomes a pool of thick liquid in which its seeds float. Elephants wandering through the forest step into the mushy pool, and the seeds glue themselves to their feet. As the animals stomp through the forest, their sticky fe

根据下面内容,回答题:
Many superstitious people are afraid of black cats. They believe that black cats have a strange power. If a black cat crosses their path, they think they will have bad luck.
Black cats haven"t always had such a bad reputation. Long ago, the Egyptians thought that black cats were holy animals. They even worshipped them. Pasht was an Egyptian goddess who had a woman"s body and a cat"s head. Because the Egyptians had so much respect for black cats, they often buried the sacred creatures with great ceremony. Mummies of cats have often been found in ancient cemetery ruins. To keep the cats company after they died, mice were sometimes buried beside them.
Feelings about black cats have always been strong. People have thought they were either very good or very bad. The people of Europe, in the Middle Ages, believed black cats were the evil friends of witches and the Devil. Witches were said to have the power to change themselves into black cats.
People believed that you could not tell whether a black cat was just a cat, or whether it was a witch disguising herself as she plotted some evil scheme. The brain of a black cat was thought to be a main ingredient in witch"s brew.
Unlike their ancestors of the Middle Ages, Englishmen today consider black cats to be good luck charms. Fishermen"s wives often keep a black cat around so that their husbands will be protected when they are out at sea.
The Egyptian goddess Pasht had a________. 查看材料
- A.woman"s head and a cat"s body
