　　A teenager has published a study suggesting the federal government could save millions of dollars a year in printing costs by switching to a thinner font(字體) that uses less ink.iced there were plenty of talks at school about saving paper and he wondered about saving ink.Suvir said on Friday that the idea began when he was in middle school and he noticed that some teachers used heavier fonts for printing.He said he was already interested in graphic (印刷的) design and used a software program to estimate how much ink different fonts used.

　　He expanded the study to look at potential savings by the federal government，and a new essay on his research was published this month in the Journal of Emerging Investigators，a peer-reviewed journal designed for creative middle and high school students.He found that the Office of Management and Budget had already estimated that federal agencies would spend about $ 1.8 billion in printing for this year and that ink was more expensive than paper on a per-page basis.

　　In his essay，“A Simple Printing Solution to Aid Deficit Reduction”，Suvir analyzed five documents produced by five U．S.government agencies and estimated how much ink would be used with four fonts: Garamond，Verdana，Times New Roman and Century Gothic.The analysis estimated that using

　　12-point Garamond would save most，about 29 percent in ink costs.

　　Suvir said his school district looked at the idea but hasn’t been able to take the switch.“It didn’t really catch on，”he said，“I understand it’s hard to make the change.”

　　5．In Suvir’s opinion，how can the federal government save printing costs?

　　A．By saving paper.

　　B．By printing on both sides of the paper.
