27、 Atwood, has created the worlds first long-distance signing device（装置）, the LongPen.After many tiring book-signing tours from city to city, Atwood thought there 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.

28、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, 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

29、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 versions, including one that actually had smoke coming out of it. The inventing finally completed, test runs were made in Ottawa, and the LongPen was

30、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 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 pot

31、ential applications. It could increase credit card security and allow people to sign contracts from another province. The video exchange between signer 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

32、 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.”The response to the invention hasnt been all favorable. Atwood has received criticism from authors who think shes trying to end book tours. But sh

33、e 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 invent the LongPen?A. To set up her own company. B. To win herself greater popularity.C. To write her books in a new way. D. To make book signings les

34、s tiring.42. How does the LongPen work?A. It copies the authors signature and prints it on a book. B. It signs a book while receiving the authors signature.C. The webcam sends the authors signature to another city. D. The fan uses it to copy the authors signature himself.43. What do we know about th

35、e invention of the LongPen?A. It has been completed but not put into use.B. The basement caught fire by accident.C. Some versions failed before its test run. D. 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 impr

36、ove credit card security.C. To keep a record of the authors ideas. D. To allow author and fan to exchange videos.45. What could be inferred from Paragraphs 5 and 6?A.

37、Publishers dislike the LongPen for its high cost.C“Dad,” I say one day, “lets take a trip. Why dont you fly out and meet me?”My father had just retired after 27 years as a manager for IBM. His job filled his day, his thoughts, his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a fre

38、ezing waterfall in Peru. While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks.My father sees me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps.

39、ees to travel with me through the national parks. We meet four weeks later in Rapid City.“Whats our first stop?” asks my father.“What time is it?”“Still dont have a watch?”Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore. As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite（花岗岩）, his mouth and eyes open

40、 slowly, like those of a 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.We stare up and I ask myself. Would I ever devote my life to anything?No direct

41、ions, no goals. 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. “I never spoke much with my father. We loved each otherbut never sa

42、id it. Whatever he could give me, he gave.”That last sentenceits probably the same thing Id 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 have, in several places of the world. I can keep traveling, I realize

43、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. “Weve got to take another trip like that sometime.”I tell him Ive decided to settle down, and Im wearing a watch.46.

48、ney is a matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasnt in any hurry, either.

At that time, w

49、e regarded 25 miles as a good days walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as a sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship.
