We’ve been covering standing desks for a long time now because experts agree that sitting all day is killing us．We want to be productive while also keeping our bodies healthy．Over the years，there have been several solutions to this from fixed standing desks to adjustable ones，portable desks to ones that change into shelves．
However, the most high tech and elegant solution has to be this new smart desk called The Stir Kinetic Desk．The desk learns your daily behaviors and moves between a sitting and standing height regularly throughout the day to keep you moving without interrupting your work flow．
You can program specific sitting and standing intervals or let the desk set the schedule．If you tend to sit while returning emails in the morning，but always want to stand during that afternoon conference call，the desk will learn those regular habits and adjust the schedule to fit them. Of course，the desk can always be manually lowered or raised by using the touch screen on the lower left comer of the desk．
When switching positions，the desk gently dips and rises to let you know that a change is coming up．If you’re not ready to switch positions at that time，you can tap the touchscreen to stay sitting or standing for a while longer．
The built．in touchscreen also keeps track of your daily sitting and standing times and tells you how many calories you’ve burned．You can even set goals for how long or often you want to stand．The desk also works with fitness devices like the FitBit to track your movements．
All of that smart tech doesn’t come cheap though．The M1 desk，which is the everyday model，runs a steep $2，990，while the more executive model with added features，the F1，goes for$4，190．
While expensive，it’s worth thinking of how much time we spend at our desks．Much like a good mattress(床墊)，a good desk that works with you is worth the investment．Hopefully in a few years these smart，integrated desks will be more common and less expensive．
1.The Stir Kinetic Desk has been designed to_______．
A．help users with their work
B．keep users moving all the time
C．get users to exercise while working
D．remind users of their working schedule
2.Which is the feature of the touchscreen of the desk?
A．It can tell users when to change positions．
B．It can track users’changes of positions．
C．It can keep users in a fixed position．
D．It can detect users’health condition．
3.Which of the following can best describe the desk?

D．Multi-functional and intelligent．
4.What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph?

Why do Chinese people love hot pot so much? As the winter months begin to settle in, I find myself wondering what it is about this traditional meal, which has existed for more than 1. 000 years, that makes it a Chinese food favorite. But it seems that the answer lies beyond the dish itself.
Hot pot isn't just designed to keep you warm during the cold months; it's also a social experience. It's a "theater” cuisine that turns a meal into an event. There is a lot of fun for everyone to have in adding ingredients to the hot pot.
Hot pot is eaten over two to three hours. For this reason, it is often, considered an evening's entertainment, and time to spend with friends and family. However, many westerners would be put off by the idea of other people sticking chopsticks in their food. When we come to eat at the table in the UK, we tend to have our own individual portions （份額）, although the experience is still a social one.
A similar experience to the hot pot one can be found in Korean barbecue restaurants, which let you cook your own meat. This allows people to have their meat done however they want.
For most Westerners, the idea of going to a restaurant to cook their own food is bizarre（古怪的）. But having given hot pot a time, I find it's now one of my favorite meals in Beijing. The steam from the pot left my clothes smelling of food when I got home, but perhaps this is also part of the experience. When the chilly （刺骨的） wind is blowing outside, just grab some chopsticks, some good friends, and dig in. For me it's like throwing a dinner party where my taste buds（味蕾）and my appetite are equally satisfied in the warm company of friends.
1.According to the author, hot pot is popular in China because ________.
A. it is a fun social experience
B. it has been developing for over 1,000 years
C. it involves many unique ingredients
D. it keeps people warm in winter and it is creative
2.We can conclude from the article that generally British people _______.
A. prefer a Korean barbecue to Chinese hot pot
B. find it interesting to cook their own food in restaurants
C. don't like sharing food with others
D. don't mind the smell of food staying on their clothes after dinner
3.What is the tone of the article?
A. Appreciative B. Longing
C. Humorous. D. Serious.
