The Walt Disney Company has built a room that can wirelessly power and charge any devices inside. Wireless charging usually only works when a device is touching a power source. But researchers say they have found a way to provide wireless power and charging capability to large areas.
A scientific team from Disney Research recently demonstrated the technology. Alanson Sample is the lead researcher at Disney Research. He explained the goal of the project in a video. "What we really want is a three-dimensional charging experience where you walk into your living room or office and your cellphone is charged simply by walking in.”
The process uses magnetic fields to send power to specially designed receivers.
Researchers built a 54-cubic-meter room in which the walls, floor and ceiling were covered with metal panels. They placed a long metal pipe in the middle of the room. Electrical currents travel up and down this pole about 1.3 million times per second. These currents also move through the ceiling, walls and floor, before flowing again up the pole. Small devices inside the pole set the level of electromagnetic waves. These waves continuously move around the room to send power to receiving devices. The Disney researchers said repeated experiments led to successful wireless power transfers to many devices running at the same time.
One of the concerns of electric fields is that they can be harmful to humans. But associate research scientist Matt Chabalko said the level of power being produced inside the room is not dangerous. “Our simulations show that we can transmit 1.9 kilowatts of power while meeting federal safety guidelines. This means it's completely safe for people to occupy this space for any amount of time."
The experiments also showed that furniture inside the room was not damaged and did not block the wireless energy. One of Disney's likely uses for wireless power will be to create areas at its parks where visitors can charge their devices.

B. Visitors can stay in a safer environment.

D. The parks can brighten visitors without wires.

One might expect that the ever-growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but good for the countries that receive the holiday-makers. Indeed , a rosy picture is painted for the long-term future of the holiday industry. Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere, and every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as the "last paradise （天堂）on earth".
However, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. In those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of sea-side holidays, over-crowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal.
Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most. In recent years, Nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund developments in health and education. Its forests, full of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise. In fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holiday-makers traveling through the forest land. Ancient tracks became major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploitation （开 发，开采）of precious trees and plants.
Not only can the environment of a country suffer from the sudden growth of tourism, but the people as well rapidly feel its effects. Farmland makes way for hotels, roads and airports； the old way of life goes. The one-time farmer is now the servant of some multi-national organization ； he is no longer his own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain； now it is his smile that is exploited. No doubt he wonders whether he wasn’t happier in his village working his own land.
Thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive its customers. The protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financial support from tourist companies. At the same time, tourists are
being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people.
The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. Their needs and problems are more important than those of the tourist companies. Increased understanding in planning world-wide tourism can preserve the market for these companies. If not, in a few years' time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed.
12. What does the author indicate in the last sentence of Paragraph 1 ?
A. The Pacific island is a paradise. B. The Pacific island is worth visiting.
C. The advertisement is not convincing. D. The advertisement is not impressive.
13. The example of Nepal is used to suggest .
A. its natural resources arc untouched
B. its forests are exploited for farmland
C. it develops well in health and education
D. it suffers from the heavy flow of tourists
14. Which of the following determines the future of tourism?
A. The number of tourists. B. The improvement of services.
C. The promotion of new products. D. The management of tourism.
15. The author's attitude towards the development of the tourist industry is .
A. optimistic B. doubtful C. objective D. negative

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的 词数应为150左右。
Last Sunday afternoon, Sandra and I were eager to meet up with a man on Detroit's east side to help him get ready for a job interview this week. But on the way, we spotted a dog lying near the road next to his owner. We thought he'd been hit by a car. My friend, Sandra, and I had assisted animal rescue groups before and we thought there might be something we could do, so we quickly pulled over to help.
His owner, a woman told us the dog's name is Bosco, and she was walking him over a mile in the heat to her new home. She said Bosco was an outside dog and no one would give him a ride to her new place. That's when she and a friend decided to walk the entire way. He was going from a life on a chain in one backyard to another. She said Bosco was having trouble breathing along the way, but they thought he could make it. But just a block away from their destination, Bosco fell down. We could tell he was suffering from heatstroke（中暑）.She told us he had thrown up and could no longer stand. Bosco was out of breath quickly ； his drool（ 口水）was also thick. Bosco's owner said she wanted to give him away because she didn't have time for him. She said he would never be allowed into her new "home" because her children have allergies （过敏症） and she worried he would dirty the carpet.
I made a call to Kristina Rinaldi of Detroit Dog Rescue to ask if they could help Bosco because it was clear that he was going to die without emergency care. To our happiness, Rinaldi said they could help. At once she told the people at Oakland Veterinary Referral Services that a dog which needed critical care was being rushed in and they must be ready to try their best to save him.
Paragraph 1:
Sandra drove while I stayed in the back seat trying to comfort Bosco.
Paragraph 2 :
So Bosco is now being called Roscoe, whose critical care and recovery were estimated to be several thousand dollars.
