When people hoard a massive amount of object
28、s, it takes over the inhabitable spaces of their home. As the collection grows, they are unable to do simple, quotidian activities such as cooking a meal or watching TV. Sometimes the hoarding is so severe that parts of their homes become inaccessible. But among the many problems that such behavior
29、brings about, the most significant are the health risks. Once hallways and windows are blocked, hoarders are at the risk of dying in a fire, since they no longer have a clear path of evacuation (疏散). Things that are piled up high can fall on top of the homeowner, or a person trying to climb over a p
30、ile of objects can experience a fall. There is also the problem of sanitation (卫生). Areas where food cant be properly cleaned begin to attract insects, and bathrooms that are full of many possessions can no longer be washed. Unfortunately, the serious effect of the problem can become worse for two r
31、easons. One is that since the behavior progress behind closed doors, people can accumulate collections of objects for years before friends or family members become aware of the problem. A second reason is that hoarders often dont recognize that they have a problem, and will continue to live in denia
32、l until they get professional help. When attempting to make a diagnosis, psychologists dont regard hoarding as a disorder in itself. Instead, its often seen as a symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder (强迫症), depression, or anxiety. The mental health community has only recently begun an intensive s

This is planking, described variously as a global participatory art project, a “meaningless internet craze”.It began 14 years ago with a pair of bored kids. Gary Clarkson, then 15

As Clarkson puts it: “It was just a really stupid, random thing to do.”For its first 10 years planking spread v
47、ery slowly, from Clarkson and Langdon to their friends at school and, after a while, on to other kids from the neighborhood. 38 Soon, they had a few thousand followers.
