Horror Films: Why We Like To Watch Horror is an ancient art form. We have tried to terrify each other with tales which trigger the less logical parts of our imaginations for as long as we've told stories. From the ballads of the ancient world to modern urban myths, audiences willingly offer themselves up to sadistic storytellers to be scared witless, and they are happy to pay for the privilege. Theories abound as to why this is so; do we derive basic thrills from triggering the rush of adrenalin which fear brings, or do horror stories serve a wider moral purpose, reinforcing the rules and taboos of our society and showing the macabre fate of those who transgress? Horror movies have long served both purposes. They deliver thrills by the hearseload, as well as telling us stories of the dark, forbidden side of life (and death) - cautionary tales for grown ups. They also provide a revealing mirror image of the anxieties of their time. Nosferatu (1922) is not simply a tale of vampirism, but offers heart-rending images of a town beleaguered by premature and random deaths, echoes of the Great War and the Great Flu Epidemic fatalities. At the other end of the century Blade (1998) is not just a tale of vampirism either, but reflects a fear of the powerful yet irresponsible elements in society, echoes down the corridor indeed of the seemingly impunitive behaviour of those at the top.Each generation gets the horror films it deserves, and one of the more fascinating aspects of the study of the genre is the changing nature of the monsters who present a threat. In the early 1940s, a world living under the shadow of Hitler's predatory tendencies identified a part-man, part-wolf as their boogeyman, whose bestial nature caused him to tear apart those who crossed his path. In the 1990s however, there was no need for a part wolf component: Jonathan Doe (Se7en 1994) and Hannibal Lecter (Manhunter 1986, Silence of the Lambs 1991, Hannibal 2001) were entirely human in their calculated and stylised killing methods. As we move on into the twenty first century, the ghosts and zombies are back in vogue as Eastern and Western superstitions converge, and once more we yearn for an evil that is beyond human. In an era of war and waterboarding, supernatural terror is more palatable than the fear inherent in news headlines.Or perhaps it's genetic? Recent research has shown that the COMT gene dictates whether horror makes us laugh or scream -

另一方面，不雇佣人帮忙也会带来一些代价：健康问题，例如压力，没有时间运动，缺乏睡眠；失去可利用做家务清洁时间来追求事业目标所带来的收入；婚姻关系紧张导致的在婚姻关系咨询甚至是离婚上的花销。获取帮助并不是软弱的象征，而是自我关心（自爱）的表现。如果你把和家人在一起的时间看得比做家务清洁的时间更重要的话，那寻求帮助就合情合理了。人们仍是认为他们能把所有的事做完，但是寻求帮助是没有什么不对的。在你的预算中划出一部分用来减少你的家务负担是值得的。时间是宝贵的。难道你不想把用来争吵这次该是谁去洗厕所的时间来做些其他的事情么？PS.应该是保洁公司广告之类，这只是后半部分，因为开篇就另一方面，所以前面应该要有一方面，不过不重要而已。主要就是讲如果过你肯花钱，那就能把做家务的时间省下来做其他更重要，更值得的事了。
