第二則：台北隨機攻擊案動機曝光 專家認定為表達式犯罪
台北地檢署公布了去年「張文無差別攻擊案」的報告，專家認定張文的動機是「表達式犯罪」，張文並非一時衝動，而是為了震驚社會預謀犯案。

Investigators found he had over a thousand related internet search records and had bought weapons in advance.This evidence shows that Chang Wen had a long-term plan for the crime.
第三則：肯德基蛋撻不賣了？是真的消失還是行銷手法

專家分析，這可能是為了產品升級與變相漲價，或計畫將蛋撻轉移至雲端專賣店。雖然「震撼行銷」能創造話題，但專家也提醒，過度玩梗恐讓消費者對品牌失去信任。
No More KFC Egg Tarts? Is It a Real Exit or Just Marketing?
KFC announced on January 15 that the classic original egg tart will officially become history, and it will only be available until it is sold out across Taiwan. Netizens have mixed reactions; some are shocked, while others question if this is just a marketing tactic. KFC plans to hold an online briefing on January 16 to reveal the truth.
Experts analyze that this could be for product upgrades and hidden price increases, or a plan to move the egg tarts to cloud-only stores. Although “shock marketing” can create buzz, experts also warn that overusing these jokes may cause consumers to lose trust in the brand.
第四則：小七推全台首座微型倉 挑戰蝦皮店到店版圖

7-Eleven said that whether it will expand the system depends on the trial results at the National Central University store, and the ninth-generation X-STORE also showcased a more advanced “grab-and-go” checkout technology.
第五則：你真的愛閱讀嗎？解析囤書症背後的心理真相
「囤書症」反映了購買而不閱讀的心理，雖能帶來幸福感，但在社群媒體影響下，買書常演變成緩解壓力的情感補償，導致展示型讀者增加，進而引發時間管理的焦慮。
專家建議，若一個月內未讀完新書應暫停購入，可透過每日 10 至 15 分鐘的微習慣重拾閱讀樂趣，唯有正視行為背後的情緒，才能轉化囤積的執著，變成心靈滋養。
Do You Truly Enjoy Reading? Uncovering the Psychology of Book Hoarding
Book hoarding reflects the habit of buying books without reading them. While this behavior can bring a sense of happiness, social media has turned book buying into a way to ease stress through emotional compensation. As a result, more readers focus on showing ownership, which in turn creates anxiety about time management.
Experts advise pausing new book purchases if a new book is not finished within a month. They suggest rebuilding reading habits through daily micro habits of 10 to 15 minutes. By recognizing the emotions behind this behavior, people can turn book hoarding into a source of mental nourishment.
Let’s wrap up today’s episode. We’ve learned about some important events happening around the world.
