many tiringfrom city to city，Atwood thought there must be a better way to do themShe hired some technical experts and started her own company in 2004Together they designed the LongPenHeres how it works：The author writes a personal message and signature on a computer tablet（手寫板） using a special penOn the receiving end，in another city，a robotic arm fitted with a regular pen signs the bookThe author and fan can talk with each other via webcams（網(wǎng)絡(luò)攝像機(jī)） 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 beThe device went through several versions，including one that actually had smoke coming out of itThe investing finally completed，teat runs w ere made in Ottawa，and the LongPen was officially launched at the 2006London Book FairFrom 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 timeIt has several other potential applicationsIt could increase credit card security and allow people to sign contracts from another provinceThe video exchange between signer and receiver can be recorded on DVD for proof when legal documents are usedIts really fun，said the owner of a bookstore，who was present for one of the test runsObviously 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 has not been all favorableAtwood has received criticism from authors who think she is trying to end book toursBut she said，It will be possible to go to places that you never got sent to before because the publishers couldnt afford it41Why did Atwood decide to invent the LongPen？ATo set up her own companyBTo win herself greater popularityCTo write her books in a new wayCTo make book signings less tiring42How does

test runDThe designers were wellprepared for the difficulty44How could the LongPen be used in the future？ATo draft legal documentsBTo improve credit card securityCTo keep a record of the authors

can figure out a way to avoid it I felt superior about this matter until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcelThe journey is a matter of 281stepsBut I used the carAnd I wasnt in ay hurry，either，I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness：motorosis It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune （免疫的），for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my own two legsAt that time，we regarded 25miles as good days walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as sign of strength and skillIt did not occur to us that walking was a hardshipAnd the effect was lastingWhen I was 45years old I racedand beata teenage football player the 168steps up the Stature of Liberty Such enterprises today are regarded by many middleaged persons as bad for the heartBut a wellknown British physician，Sir Adolphe Abrhams，pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need properis more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularlyAnd wlaking is an ideal form of exercisethe most familiar and natural of all It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on footThe man walking can learn the trees，flower，insects，birds and animals，the significance of seasons，the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world，He cannot learn in a car The car is a convenient means of transport，but we have made it our way of lifeMany people dont dare to approach Nature any more； to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threatTo them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete roadAnd much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green I say that the green of forests is the minds best lightAnd none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting51What is the
