In such programmes, hosts always place their desks to the right. Do you know why? Thats because it makes them seem powerful. In western culture, people read them from left to right, and they watch theatre and television that way, too. Their eyes end up on the right side of the screenwhere the hosts sits.You can find other kinds in some interview formats. On the programme The view, for example, the hosts sit around the same table, with the guest at the centre, creating a more peaceful atmosphere. On the programme Politically Incorrect, host Bill Macher sat between guests who are arguing, a set-up that emphasized(强调) his roles as moderator(调解人) and the importance of argument among ideas.The few hosts who dont follow the right-side desk arrangement arent so luckily. Dick Cavett, who started out as a morning and midday host, tried to import the non-desk interview set-up. It was never as successful as Johnny Carsons Tonight Show, and finally ABC sent Cavett out.51. Which set-up helps to make people feel peaceful?A. Placing the desk to the right.B.

The song they created is a fresh mix of rock & roll and Chinese traditional folk music. And the video of this performance soon became one of the hottest topics with 1650,000 hits on the Internet.During the performance, Tan shocked the viewers as soon as she started to sing. Five senior artists also got much attention by playing erhu (a two-stringed Chinese musical instrument), yueqin (a four-stringed plucked Chinese musical instrument with a full-moon shaped sound box) and a long bench that is the unique percussion instrument for the Huayin Laoqiang Opera. Their performance surprisingly turned out to be a perfect combination of rock and the traditional Huayin Laoqiang Opera. It ended with the senior artists beat on the long bench, making great waves among the audiences.Cui Jian, a Chinese rock star described by his fans as the father of China rock, was deeply moved by the performance and noted that it is the best example of a combination of rock and Chinese folk music.Tan said that she wanted to add some Chinese folk music that has an element of rock and roll and her rock music, for most of the rock and roll is from the West. And the first thing sprang into her mind is Huayin Laoqiang Opera. In her mind, the opera keeps a history of hundreds of years. It is the earliest China rock.It took her much effort to find these artists who are in their 70s. But when she found them, they soon agreed to perform with her. Due to the different nature of folk music and rock, the combination did not go smoothly at first.But the performance at last turned out to be a great success, which greatly encouraged Tan.

Life experiences offer the students some of the best education packages available on the earth. Of those life experiences, travel offers the best returns(回报).For international travelers, the lessons are the greatest. Taking that first step to cross the ocean by plane or boat is an adventure（冒险）. It teaches people to expand their horizons(拓宽视野) and it enables people to go beyond one land, one country, and one set way of thinking and doing things.International travel awakens the mind with different cultures. Travelers see how different people do things in different lands. While this experience is exciting for adults, children get the greatest insights （洞察力） during the international exploration. It will help to form their understanding from a very young age. It will help them understand that differences among people and cultures can be quite exciting and wonderful in its own way.
