3.You must need desks in your life,but how do you know whether you have the right desk?Well,the right desk should be the right size.You should think about the size in terms of how much room you get on the desk.If you need to deal with a lot of paperwork,you are supposed to buy a large desk.If you are short of space,you should be looking for a small desk.The best way,if you are short of space,is to measure (测量) the area where the desk will sit and go with them to the store; they are usually quite happy to help you get the size right.Also,the right desk should have drawers (抽屉).Drawers allow you to keep a tidy desk.If you do not have filing cabinets (文件柜),choose a desk with many drawers-you will probably need them.If you have filing cabinets,one or two drawers should be enough to hold the basics such as keys and snacks.
If you are quite short or very tall,there are office furniture shops that have tables with legs that can be adjusted (调节).With the simple turn of a screw (螺丝),you can make them become taller or shorter.
Look at the material that the desk is made of.The last thing you want is to shop for a desk again in a few years.The best desks are made of hardwood,because they can last for years and years.However,there will be a problem if you are having only a few money-they cost quite a bit of money.There are hardboard desks that are quite good-they do not last as long as hardwood desks but you will get value for your money.You may find desks made of glass,but you must be very sure that they are of high quality before you buy them.
The finish (抛光) is just as important as the material the desk is made of.If it gets messed up before the desk is old,you will still want to replace the desk.Look for a great finish that can last as long as the desk is expected to.The best way to do this is to find a desk that you like and then look on the Internet for the kind of finish that it comes with.Again,a wood finish is one of the best that you can get.

Watching TV can help your children learn about lots of things,such as music,other countries,and many other things.They will learn about what is good and what is bad.TV also provides children with up-to-date information about the outside world.
However,it's not right to say that watching TV doesn't have any bad effect on children.You can't let them watch TV as much as they want.Watching TV takes a lot of time.Children need to discover the world by themselves,not just from TV.Besides,children are growing and they need to move around and get lots of exercise.Sitting still and watching TV too much will make children become weaker physically.
Most children like to eat snacks while watching TV.That will make them put on weight.To make it worse,there may be too many ads and violent(暴力的)scenes on TV.These things,of course,are bad for children.
As parents,you should control the amount of TV that your children watch.You have to choose the right channels for them,and shouldn't let the TV be on all day.Turn it off right after their programmes end.Encourage them to take part in outdoor activities and do more things.Never put a TV in the bedroom,especially in your children's room!

Have you seen a group of boys dancing hip-pop together?The music beat is usually(48)excitingand cool!And the people dancing hip-pop seem to really(49)enjoywhat they are doing.
What is the real meaning of"Hip-pop"?Some people say it is the motion(动作,姿态)that people make while they're(50)dancing.They move their hips(臀部)sideways when they dance.That's very interesting.
The(51)firsthip-pop music came to the world in the beginning of the 1970s by DJs(disk jockeys)A Jamaican(牙买加人)known as Kool Herc was the first person who performed hip-pop music.Whenever people think of hip-pop,music and dance are the first things that come out in their minds.
However,there are other things that are part of the hip-pop culture.One of them is graffiti.Graffiti is modern art where you draw pictures and words on walls,trains,(52)and other places with spray (喷射)paint.Many of you may have seen things around your neighborhood.Some of those works are really terrific!
Also,there is a certain(53)styleof fashion,such as wearing bigger size jeans,casual shirts,sneakers,and colorful caps,that the young people like to wear.They call it"Hip-pop fashion".
Hip-pop culture is a new style of the younger generation.They express their feelings(54)thoughthis culture and enjoy it.So whenever you see groups of young people dancing hip-pop and singing,just stop for a moment and try to understand(55)them!
