Can't get the content form "work"

Hello, I follow the "WordPress Development" track. Now I am "WordPress Theme Functions" >> "Displaying Custom Posts and Fields in a Template" . I do it step by step with Zac, but I can't get the title and content with "work". I only get the title with "post", anyone can help me, thanks

    <?php
    $args = array(
        'post_type' => 'work'
    );
    $the_query = new WP_Query( '$args' );
?>

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>

    <h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
    <?php the_field( 'description' ); ?>
    <hr>

<?php endwhile; else: ?>

    <p>No post</p>

<?php endif; ?>

Could you post the exact question, is this the code on the challenge you have modified?

Oh~~~~~~~~ the reason is 

            $the_query = new WP_Query(  $args  );

take off the single quotes !!

But I still cannot get the content... :(
