    A world-famous Canadian author, Margaret Atwood, has created the world’s first long-distance signing device, the LongPen.

    After many tiring book signings 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. Here’s 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 on the LongPen began in Atwood’s 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 investing finally completed, test runs were 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 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. 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.

    “It’s really fun,” said the owner of a bookstore, who was present for one of the test runs. “Obviously you can’t shake hands with the author, but there are chances for a connection that you don’t get from a regular book signing.”

    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 couldn’t afford it.”

    1.How does the LongPen work?

    A. It copies the author’s signature and prints it on a book.

    B. It signs a book while receiving the author’s signature.

    C. The fan uses it to copy the author’s signature himself.

    D. The webcam sends the author’s signature to another city.

    2.What do we know about the invention of the LongPen?

    A. The designers were well-prepared for the difficulty.

    B. The basement caught fire by accident.

    C. Some versions failed before its test run.

    D. It has been completed but not put into use.

    3.How could the LongPen be used in the future?

    A. To allow author and fan to exchange videos

    B. To improve credit card security.

    C. To keep a record of the author’s ideas.

    D. To draft legal documents.

    When looking at Western Europe, we don’t usually think about poverty—but in fact, some people in modern-day Britain are so hard up that they can’t afford to buy food.

    Back in 2008, the financial crisis caused a lot of unemployment. Then there were the cuts to the welfare system in 2013 which added to the problem—and many British people fell into debt. It’s estimated that 500,000 people in the UK have turned to food banks, just to get by.

    Steph Hagen, who works in a Nottingham food bank, says：“People do not go to a food bank because it's an open door. It’s a case where they go to it because they need to. With our food bank—we are an independent one, and we have limited stocks—everyone who comes through our door has no income.”

    There are checks to make sure nobody is abusing the system. If a doctor or a social worker thinks someone needs to use a food bank—even for a short time—they can give them vouchers(凭证). Then the people in need take them along to the food bank and they get handouts for three days.

    Churches and individual donors provide most of the food in the banks. But some businesses might help out too.

    And what sort of food is offered in food banks? Hagen says：“Basically, we’ve got porridge. We do occasionally get fresh produce but it’s very rare, especially in the winter months. It’s like tinned fruit, tinned ready meals. We have to give out‘no-cooking’food parcels because people can’t afford the gas and electricity”.

    Community spirit has a lot to do with food banks. Volunteers say they are a great meeting place for people who are lonely and depressed. And when facing a crisis, some beneficiaries might need to feed not only their belly—but also their soul.

    1.According to the text, the food bank is a place ________.

    A．which is funded by the government

    B．where people can get food randomly

    C．which helps poor people live through crisis

    D．where there is enough food supplies

    2.What does the underlined word“them”in Paragraph 4 refer to?

    A．Systems． B．Doctors．

    C．Social workers． D．Vouchers．

    3.Why do food banks mainly offer“no-cooking”food?

    A．Poor people have no money for gas and electricity.

    B．The volunteers hate to supply cooked food.

    C．Food banks can’t afford cooked food.

    D．This kind of food is easy to store.

    4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

    A．Community spirit can cure those who are depressed.

    B．Food banks benefit poor people mind and body.

    C．People can have great fun in food banks.

    D．Volunteers tend to feel lonely and depressed in food banks.
