There was once a farmer. He lived near a road. It was not a busy road, but from time to time cars passed the farm. Near the farm gate, there was a large hole in the road. The hole was always full of water, and the drivers of the cars could not see how deep the hole was. They thought that it was not deep.Then when they drove their cars into the hole, they could not drive out of it because it was so deep. The farmer didn’t spend much time working on his farm. He spent most of it watching the hole. When a car drove into it, he pulled the car out with his tractor and asked the driver a lot of money for doing this.

One day, the driver of a car said to him, “You must make a lot of money by pulling cars out of this hole day and night.” “Oh, no,” said the farmer, “I don’t pull the cars out of the hole at night. At night, I fill the hole with water.”

Do you want to say what you think in a letter to Jimmy Carter, President of the United States? You will get an answer from him — written in ink, not typed — after only a few days.

Jimmy Carter gets about 4,000 letters every week. He answers every letter on special White House paper. But he doesn’t need a lot of time for it. In fact, he only spends 20 minutes a week in reading his private letters. He has the most modern computer in the world to help him. It costs about USA$1,200,000.

This computer has its own rooms on the first floor of the White House: It has a bank of electronic pens and they write like the President writes, in his favourite light blue ink. Each letter to the President gets a number according(按照)to the type of answer it needs. The pens then write the correct answer for it according to the number. Each letter takes less than a second to write. A White House official said, “It’s not important that the letters come from a computer. Each letter says what the President wants to say.”
