To transport students to and from the stores.BA world-famous Canadian author, Margaret Atwood, has created the worlds first long-distance signing device(装置), the LongPen.After many tiringfrom city to city, Atwood thought th

26、ere must be a better way to do them . She hired some technical experts and started her own company in 2004. Together they designed the LongPen. Heres how it works: The author writes a personal message and signature on a computer tablet(手写板) using a special pen. On the receiving end, in another city,

27、 a robotic arm fitted with a regular pen signs the book. The author and fan can talk with each other via webcams(网络摄像机) and computer screens。Work on the LongPen began in Atwoods basement(地下室). At first, they had no idea it would be as hard as it turned out to be. The device went through several vers

28、ions, including one that actually had smoke coming out of it. The investing finally completed, teat runs w ere made in Ottawa, and the LongPen was officially launched at the 2006 London Book Fair. From here , Atwood conducted two transatlantic book signings of her latest book for fans in Toronto and

29、 New York City.The LongPen produces a unique signature each time because it copies the movement of the author in real time. It has several other potential applications.

30、and receiver can be recorded on DVD for proof when legal documents are used.“Its really fun”, said the owner of a bookstore, who was present for one of the test runs. “Obviously you cant shake hands with the author but there are chances for a connection that you dont get from a regular book signing.

31、The response to the invention has not been all favorable. Atwood has received criticism from authors who think she is trying to end book tours. But she said, “It will be possible to go to places that you never got sent to before because the publishers couldnt afford it.”41. Why did Atwood decide to

34、 The designers were well-prepared for the difficulty.44. How could the LongPen be used in the future?A. To draft legal documents.B. To improve credit card securityC.

35、A. Atwood doesnt mean to end book tours.B. Critics think the LongPen is of little useC. Bookstore owners do not support the LongPenD. Publishers dislike the LongPen for its high costC“Dad,” I say one day .take a trip. Why dont you fly and meet me?”My father had just reired. His job filled his day, h

36、is thought, his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall Peru.

37、tamps. He wants me to settle down, but now I want him to find an adventure.He agrees to travel with me through the national parks. We meet four weeks later in Rapid City.“ What is our first stop?” asks my father.“What time is it?”“Still dont have a watch?”Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore. As

38、 he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite(), his mouth and eyes open slowly, like those of little boy.“Unbelievable,” he says, “How was this done?”A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14 years to the sculpture and then left the final touches to his son.

39、We stare up and I ask myself, Would I ever devote my life to anything?No directions, I always used to hear those words in my fathers voice. Now I hear them in my own.The next day were at Yellowstone National Park, where we have a picnic.“Did you ever travel with your dad? I ask.“Only once,” he says.

40、 “ I never spoke much with my father. We loved each other-but never said it. Whatever he could give me, he gave.”The kast sebtebce-its probably the same thing Is say about my father. And what Id want my child to say about me.In Glacier National Park, my father says, “Ive never seen water so blue.” I

41、 have, in several places of the world, I can keep traveling, I realize- and maybe a regular job wont be as dull as I feared.Weeks after our trip, I call my father. “The photos from the trip are wonderful,” he says.” We have got to take another trip like that sometime.I tell him Ive learn decided to
