People have used secret codes for thousandsof years.36Code breaking never lags(落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading codedmessages is called cryptography. There are three main types of cryptography. 37For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” Spell outthe hidden message “Meet me.” 38You mightrepresent each letter with a number, For example, Lets number the letters ofthe alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for eachletter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 20 13 5.” A code uses symbols to replace words,phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a codebook.39For example, ”bridge“ might stand for “meet” and “out” mightstand for “me.” The message “bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.”40However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must bechanged frequently.A. Itisveryhardtobreakacodewithoutthecodebook.B. Inanylanguage,somelettersareusedmorethanothers.C. Onlypeoplewhoknowthekeywordcanreadthemessage.D.
