very functional and sometimes the only source of light in a room. There are many types of lamps,
and of course they come in many styles and colors to fit anyone's home. Lamps can be soft and
inviting or bright and useful. Floor lamps are often tall, thinly shaped lamps that bring light to a large
area by cupping the bottom of the bulbs and forcing light up. Table lamps tend to force the light
down and out to lighten up a smaller, more private space. But, that doesn't mean that you can't
find a lamp that fits your needs as well as your tastes. In fact, you can even have lamps made to
order to match your desired look.
But, before you decide to make that decision, check out the lamps in department stores and
specialty stores. While most home improvement stores offer a wide variety of floor lamps, hanging
lamps, and table lamps, you can find an even larger selection in a lighting store. There you will be at
a loss about all the different choices you have. There will be choices in every style imaginable. If you
still can't find what you are looking for, check contents and even the Internet. Specialty stores
nationwide will ship lamps and accessories (配件) to you.
Adding some extra light to your home may have been your early search when trying to find a
lamp, but you will soon see that there is more to look for in a lamp. The design will fit your home
and the color should match your home. The details on the lamp or lamp shade can even be found
to match your furniture, tables, or other items in your home. Finding a great lamp is a fun adventure
into the world of lighting.
B. to inform us of the variety of lamps produced in stores
C. to tell us that different lamps have different usages

House buyers have three main choices: building from the ground up, moving into an old house or buying a new one. All the three are very different and should be considered carefully. Your budget will probably have the biggest effect on your choice. Comparing the three will help you make a good decision.
New houses are untouched and fresh, which means they can suit your personality and you know exactly where all of the materials come from. New houses won’t hold many unpleasant surprises, such as weak foundations, or other damaged areas. Most of these modern houses are also far more eco-friendly, with future decoration being just as easy to make and do as you like. Buying new houses is also a great way to save money, and you may find its benefit with the price going up in the future.
Some buildings, such as those that are rare or in certain areas, are of value over the years. Sometimes it is the history that draws more buyers into older houses. A famous person may have lived there, or an important event may have taken place in the house. This may not add any value to the house, but it can add to the attraction. There may be more repairs which will need to be done in the old houses,so before you think you’ve found a great bargain, be sure to get a careful inspection.
There are those who prefer building from the ground up. Building your own house can be a very rewarding, tiring, and expensive experience. While people have many expectations of planning and building their own houses, one thing is sure: it will take a while. There are always difficulties during construction, so you always find the construction time will be longer than your plan, not to mention the budget. Time can add up as well as materials and costs. Building is a good choice for those who are able and qualified.
