When you go out for a business trip or weekend, you have to 1 pack your mobile phone, laptop(手提电脑), MP3 player, camera and so on. It's wonderful for you to 2 no batteries, no chargers(充电器) and no wires.

    This is the future “wireless power”. That is 3 of passing on electricity through the air to laptops and other small electrical devices (装置) without the need of wires.  These new devices were4 the first trade products in Las Vegas at the International Consumer Electronics Show, the world's biggest trade 5 for small electrical devices.

    Experts believe this is just the 6. In a world without wires, you can use a laptop in cafes or airports 7 you put an “electricity hotspot” inside and no longer have to search for a charger form your bags. It is said that you will be able to 8 your devices in the room that has wireless power, and then they will get the power 9. If one room has wireless power, you would know that once you walk through the front door, your mobile phone starts charging up, even when it is still in your bag or pocket. You'd never need to 10 the right charger again.

    This kind of technology, named Power Bean, can turn electricity into a laser(激光), then pass it on as heat, across the room.

"You must go back," said the first deer, "because I am 5 than you." The second deer said,"I don't think so. You are not stronger than me."

"We 6 who is stronger soon," said the first deer and he showed his horns(角) to let the second deer know 7 he was ready to fight.

"Stop!" said the second deer. "If we fight, we shall both fall into the river and 8 dead. I have a good idea. I shall lie down and you9 walk over me." Then he10 down on the bridge and the first deer walked carefully over him.
