Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer. People have used secret codes for thousands of years. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them. Code breaking never _ code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography（密码系统）.There are three main types of cryptography. You can _ a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out. For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels（鳗）” spell out the message “Meet me.”Another way is to use symbols to _ specific letters of the alphabet. You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Lets number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26., If we replace each letter with a number, the message “Meet me” would read “13, 5, 5, _, 13, 5.”A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. With a code book, you might write down words that would be _ as other words. For example, “bridge” might refer to “meet” and “out” might mean “me.” The message “Bridge out” would have meaning of “Meet me”. It is very hard to break a code with out the code book. Actually, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. _, codes must be changed frequently.16 . Agoes aheadBtakes the place ofCfalls behindDdepends on17 . AsendBtakeCtranslateDhide18 .

Whether you have spent your time in a proper way? Here are some good suggestions for you to take.Firstly, spend time in doing things that are really important. Spend time with your family and friends, and share your feelings and thoughts with them. Enjoy a nice hot meal and eat it slowly. Give yourself time to play and spend enough time in sleeping. Little things like this may seem meaningless. But the truth is that little things matter most in life.Secondly, you have to know what has been done cannot be undone. Do not allow your mind to stay in the past. Every day is a new start. You have to keep your eyes and ears open to the new chance. It may not be a chance you can get immediately, but it may be a chance for new experiences.Then, do your best in every task. If you have only one chance to do something for someone, why not do it with the best of your ability? It should not matter whether you are being praised or not. You will take pride in your work because youve done your best. Trust me, your efforts will be rewarded in time.Lastly, every moment you spend in doing things is the time taken from your life.
