Do you know how long it’s been since mobile phone were first invented ?On April 3,30 years ago, the first public call was 　1　 f rom a handheld wireless phone.

　 Martin Cooper , a(n) 　2　 researcher at Motorola,made the call from a corner in New York City back in 1973.

　 People were very 　3 　at the phone , Cooper remembered . “We caused a great stir(轰动) ,” he said.

　 The phone was a 　4 thing by today’s standards –it 5 almost 1kilogram and was about 25 centimeters long.Now , 　6 　phones fit into the palm of your hand and weigh little more than a lemon.

　 But back then, it was a huge 　7 , especially when 　8 　the car mobile phones that had been in 9 　since the 1940s.

　 A 　10 　phone weighed more than 13 kilograms and 　11 　thousands of dollars .An owner had to drill a hole in the 　12 　just to install it.

　 At that time , Cooper was 13 with Joel Engel , the head of research at a rival 　14 communications company. So, he made the first call to him.

　 “I told him:Joel, I’m 　15 　you from a real cell phone ,” said Cooper. “I thought I heard gnashing of teeth (咬牙切齿)at the other end, 16 　he was polite.”

　 Since that first call ,some 1 billion people around the world now own mobiles.

　 Today , they are multifunctional (多功能的)with more and more features ， 17 short text messages , cameras and MP3 players.

　 However,74-year-old Cooper still believe the “original dream” of a truly mobile phone call is not yet a 18 .That is :being able to use a phone to call anyone from anywhere.

　 Cooper’s dream phone is so 　19 　that it fits behind his ear and automatically(自动地) dials out when he thinks about calling someone . And when there is an incoming call, it trickles(轻震) instead of 　20 .
