     If you and your friends wish to share a secret, you can write it in code (编码), and no one else will be
able to read it.
     Codes are one way of writing in secret. Ciphers (暗码) are another. In a code each word is written as a
secret code word or code number. In a cipher each letter is changed. Codes and ciphers have played an
important role in the history of the world. Julius Caesar, the Roman ruler who defeated almost all the countries
in Europe about 2, 000 years ago, used a cipher when he sent secret messages to his troops. During the
American Revolution, George Washington"s spies used a kind of code to send him information about the enemy
before his military (军事的) action. In World War Ⅱ, the Americans "broke", or figured out, Japan"s most
important navy codes and got enough information to destroy a powerful Japanese fleet( 舰队).
     Storekeepers use codes to mark their goods. The codes show how much was paid for the goods or when
 they were added to the stock (商品). Businessmen use codes to hide plans from their business enemies.
Sometimes personal letters or diaries are written in code. Many people enjoy figuring out codes and ciphers
simply as a hobby.
     In the 16th century, codes and ciphers were very popular among scientists. They wrote messages to each
other in code so that no one else would learn their secrets. Geronimo Gardano, an Italian astrologer (星相家),
mathematician, and doctor, invented the trellis cipher. He took two sheets of paper and cut exactly the same
holes in each one. Then he sent one sheet, which he called a trellis, to a friend and kept the other for himself.
Whenever he wanted to write a message, he put his trellis over a clean sheet of paper and wrote the secret
message through the holes. Then he removed the trellis and filled the rest of the paper with words that would
make sense. When his friend received it, he put his trellis over the writing and read the secret message.

阅读理解。     It seems that beauty and women are twins. You are joking? No, I do not. Observe for yourself Ads on
fashion TV screens, radio programs, magazines, newspapers, and the streets. Whether they have realized it
or not, women are surrounded (包围) by a sea of fashion. They are taught to think that without beautiful
clothes they will grow old and lose their charm. So who dares to neglect dressing up at the cost of their
appearance and youth?
      But I do not agree with the opinion that women have to show their beauty through their looks. The
richness of their minds proves to be more beautiful and attractive than their looks. A woman who has
experienced many troubles and may be called"aunt" or "granny" can still keep up her beauty if she has such
excellent qualities as knowledge, ability, a kind heart, great courage, concern for others, etc.
     In addition, old and young, beautiful and ugly are relative concept. People who keep a young mind will
never feel old. Interested in new things and eager to learn more, they keep up with the tide. Plainly (简朴地)
dressed women may have a type of beauty that is pure and real. Reading and learning is the best way to keep
one youthful. Good books ale rich soil which can feed the flower of one"s heart and looks. 1. According to the first paragraph, why are women caught by a sea of fashion? A. Because they are rich.

阅读理解。Sir, 
     The majority(=Most) of your readers must have been surprised and shocked to read a letter from Mr.R.
Hogg, published in last Wednesday"s Herald. Mr. Hogg seems to think that his own convenience and that of
motorists in general are the only things that matter in our city.
     I would have supported Mr. Hogg if he had just made suggestions to improve the situation. No doubt his
problems would be partly solved if the local government built a multi-storey car park in the city center, instead
of encouraging motorists to use public transport. All the same, judging from the tone of Mr. Hogg"s letter, I
suspect that motorists who are so careless of pedestrians" (行人) safety that they would rather park their ears
on the pavement than hold up the traffic would probably be too lazy to use a multi-storey car park if they had
to walk a few hundred yards to their destination afterwards.
      My main reason for writing, however, is much more important. Does Mr.Hogg realize that, according to
figures (数字) showed by the Department of Transport,13,000 people were knocked down in Britain last year
because of ears being illegally parked either on the pavement or on crossings? In fact, although the total
pedestrian casualty (伤亡事故) rate has fallen over the last ten years, there has been an increase in accidents
caused when pedestrians have to step out into the mad to avoid parked cars on the pavement and cannot see
oncoming traffic.
      I cannot share Mr. Hogg"s view that the government have paid little attention to "long-suffering motorists"
:and I think the punishment for dangerous parking should be made severe enough to stop all motorists from
breaking the law in this way. A WALKER, Proudfoot Lane,Carchester 1. The letter above is written in answer to the letter by _____. A. art editor
B. a certain Mr.R.Hogg
C. some readers
D. some motorists 2. The topic for the two letters is _____. A. parking problems in the city center
B. building a multi-storey car park in the city center
C. public transport
D. the increase in accidents caused by parked cars on the pavement 3. What Mr.A.Walker does want to make known in his letter is that _____. A. the total pedestrian casualty rate has fallen
B. careless parking may cause serious traffic accidents
C. the convenience of motorists in general matters much
D. the safety of pedestrians matters lithe 4. In Mr.A. Walker"s opinion, severer punishment should be given to _____. A. all the careless motorists
B. all the law breakers
C. all who step out into the road
D. all who do dangerous parking

studies sometimes not successful? Well, friends, cheer up and smile all the time. If you see the world with
your warm heart, you"ll find that the whole world smiles to you. While in school, sometimes you are tired
