Do you want to say what you think in a letter to Jimmy Carter,President( 总统) of the United States?You’ll get an answer from him--- written in ink,not typed—after only a few days.
Jimmy Carter gets about 4,000 letters week.He answers every letter on special( 特别的) White House paper.But he doesn’t need a lot of time for it.In fact,he only gives 20 minutes a week to look at his private letters.He has the most modern computer in the world to help him.It costs $ 1,200,000.
This computer has its own room 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 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 he wants to say.”

2.T(第二段第二行give 20 minutes=spend 20 minutes)
3.F (I第二段最后一句it costs $ 1,200,000.只提到价格昂贵,并没提到体积大)
4.T (第三段第三句说寄给总统的每一封信都会根据所需要回复的答案有一个号码的,联系下文可知有很多电子笔)
