Do you often clean the floor? If you do, you will find it’s not easy to clean the floor under a bed or around a table. Now a new idea can help you to do what you like.
This summer, in Belgium(比利时)，a magnetic floating bed(磁悬浮床) with no legs takes the prize for the coolest bed in the world, and the most expensive.
A Dutchman(荷兰人) worked on (从事于)the bed for six years. The bed can float around 40cm off the floor and can hold 900 kg. Like this pleasing bed, there can be coffee tables, sofas, and Japanese dining tables. How cool would it be to have dinner off a floating table! The price of the most expensive bed (for the full—size unit)will cost you $ 1.6 million.
根据短文内容，回答下列问题。（10分）
1.Where did the magnetic floating bed take the prize?
_______________________________________________________________
2.Does the most expensive bed have legs?
