A world-famous Canadian author
，
Margaret Atwood
，
has created the world's
firstlong-distance signing device
（装置）
，
the LongPen.
After many tiring book-signing tours from city to city
，
Atwood thought there
must bea better way to do them. She hired some technical experts and started
her own
company
in2004.
Together
they
designed
the
LongPen. Here's
how
it
works
：
The author writes apersonal message and signature on a computer tablet
（手写板）
using a special pen. On thereceiving end
，
in another city
，
a robotic arm
fitted with a regular pen signs the book. Theauthor 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 noidea 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
officially
launched
at
the
2006London
Book
Fair.
From
here
，
Atwood
conducted two transatlantic book signings of herlatest book for fans in Toronto
and New York City.
The LongPen produces a unique signature each time because it copies the
movementof the author in real time. It has several other potential applications
．
It
could
increase
creditcard
security
and
allow
people
to
sign
contracts
from
another
province
．
The
videoexchange
between
signer
and
receiver
can
be
recorded on DVD for proof when legaldocuments are used.
“
It's really fun
，
”
said the owrrer of a bookstore
，
who was present for one of
the testruns
．
“
Obviously you can't shake hands with the author
，
but there are
chances for aconnection that you don't get from a regular book signing.
”

The response to the invention hasn't been all favorable
．
Atwood has received
criticismfrom authors who think she's trying to end book tours. But she said
，
“
It
will be possible togo to places
that you never got sent to before because the









publishers couldn't afford it.
”

A
．
To set up her own company.
B
．
To win herself greater popularity.
C
．
To write her books in a new way.
D

B
．

C
．

D
．
The fan uses it to copy the author's signature himself.

It has been completed but not put into use.
B
．
The basement caught fire by accident.
C
．
Some versions failed before its test run.
