Most people are familiar with hoarding (and the psychological issues associated with it.
Hoarding leads to messy homes and difficulty parting with items that you don't use and don't even
need.But hoarding can also occur in the digital world.
Digital hoarding,also known as e-hoarding,is too much acquisition and reluctance (to
delete electronic material no longer valuable to the user.Most computer users save digital files to some
extent,and that's expected.With digital hoarding,however,the act of saving the files becomes an
uncontrollable urge.Digital hoarders may collect emails,photos,articles,podcasts,or any type of
computer files they believe they may want to revisit in the future,and ultimately,in most cases,they
rarely get to actually use it or listen to it or read it.
Digital hoarding also occurs when someone is too attached to the data even to consider getting
rid of it.This can include chats and photos of an old partner,texts sent by a long-lost friend,or even
screenshots collected several years ago.
Researchers have categorized digital hoarders into 4 different types,according to their
characteristics."Collectors"are organized,systematic and in control of their data."Accidental
hoarders"are disorganized,don't know what they have,and don't have control over it.The"compliant
hoarder"keeps data on behalf of their company.Finally,"anxious hoarders"have strong emotional
ties to their data-and are worried about deleting it.
The problem has only gotten worse since we have more access to digital storage than ever.In
addition,cloud storage makes it incredibly easy to purchase more storage as needed.With infinite
cloud space,it's logical when network users don't think twice about saving files.
However,studies found that digital hoarders experience increased levels of stress and now
researchers are observing that the negative consequences of digital hoarding may be similar to those
physical hoarding.Therefore,it's important to set time aside to have a good clear-out in the same way
we do in the physical world.By organizing and getting rid of useless files in a regular way,people
with this problem can ease some of their distress and clear their own mind as well.
A digital hoarder tends to
A.have psychological problems
B.be unwilling to remove e-documents
C.revisit what they've stored frequently
D.have an urge to dispose of the data
Which of the following belongs to an accidental hoarder?
A.Mike arranges all work and business-related data scientifically.
B.Tom is resistant to deleting anything about his ex-girlfriend.
C.Antony keeps the financial data of his company orderly.
D.Lauren's camera roll is largely taken up by throwaway selfies.
What contributes to a network user saving more e-material?
A.Easy access to limitless cloud storage.
B.Decreasing cost of digital storage.
C.Increasing stress from the loss of data.
D.Difficulty in recovering data.
What can we leam from the last paragraph?
A.Stress can't be avoided for a digital hoarder.
B.It's unnecessary to part with useless items at home.
C.Time should be set aside to clean rooms regularly.
D.E-files had better be cleared out on a regular basis.

Jennifer Brophy,a professor of Stanford,is working on methods that she hopes will be used to
rove commercial plant species so that they can survive harsh conditions.Initially,she studied green
hitecture in her undergraduate years.Once she started taking architecture classes；she realized it
sn't her passion-but when she encountered an article about a company that creates biofuels(
from baeteria,something clicked."I thought that was just the coolest thing.It got me really
rested in pursuing bioengineering,"she says.
Today,Brophy is developing new genetic engineering techniques that can help plants grow in
ious conditions.By changing the genome (of both commercial crops and soil bacteria,she
ks it's possible to help plants survive droughts.
Brophy is building what she calls "genetic circuits".Besides changing the genes within plant
s,this method also changes how and when those genes are triggered.If the plant senses a specific
ar,it can express one protein；if it senses another signal,it'll express a different protein.If both
nals are there,the plant may be able to express something else entirely."Using circuits to all these
erent inputs,"she says.
"A plant doesn't necessarily know what's coming.It just knows whether it's hot or temperate
)right now,"says Brophy.This can lead to problems when weather becomes erratic.A plant that
ally flowers.in spring may flower in winter if there're a few unseasonably warm days.When
peratures fall again,the flowers die,which ruins a year of crops."It'd be great to be able to
