Nowadays, more and more people are likely to enjoy themselves on
smart phones, no matter they are adults or teenagers. But charging
(给……充电) the phones often brings lots of troubles to their lives.
Recently, a small device (设备) that can charge our phones
anywhere has been invented (发明), which may be a piece of good
news for those who often play mobile phones. This device is called
HandEnergy.
HangEnergy is a creative apple-sized device that can charge our
phones anytime and anywhere. But what really makes it different from the others is that it only uses your own personal
energy (能量) to do it.
As the power-banks (充电宝) and solar-power(太阳能) devices become popular in our lives, just a device that
can charge our phone doesn’t sound very special. However, power-banks also need to be charged once a few days,
and solar-power devices need the sun to store energy. HandEnergy just needs a hand. To get this little thing to
produce (生产) energy, all you have to do is to hold it in your hand and shake your wrists (手腕).
To use HandEnergy, users should start the device first and then shake their wrists. When they shake their wrists,the rotor (轮子) inside the device will spin very fast to create electricity (电). To charge the smart phone, you just
need a USB and this little device - HandEnergy.
HangEnergy can help you to produce endless energy. You can use it everywhere you want to go. What’s more,
it’s friendly to the environment and helps you to exercise your wrists. Come and produce clean energy with the power
of your own body!

A. It’s as small as an apple.
B. It uses your own energy.
C. It can be used anytime and anywhere.
33. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The power-banks don’t need to be charged.
B. The solar-power devices could be used anytime.
C. We should start the HandEnergy before we use it.
34. What docs the underlined word “spin” in Paragraph 5 mean?
