Secret codes(密码)keep messages private. 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.__36__ Code
breaking never lags(落后)far behind code making. The science of
creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.
There are three main types of cryptography.__37__ For example,the
first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden
message “Meet me.”
__38__ You might represent each letter with a number,for example.
Let's number the letters of the alphabet,in order,from 1 to 26.If we
substitute a number for each letter,the message “Meet me” would
read “13 5 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 code book.__39__
For example,“bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out”
might stand for “me”.The message “Bridge out” would
actually mean “Meet me.” __40__ However,it is also hard to keep
a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.

Practice
People worldwide are living longer. Today, most people can expect to
live into their sixties and beyond. By 2050, the world’s population
aged 60 and older is expected to total 2 billion, up from 900 million in
2015.

People worldwide are living longer. Today, most people can expect to live into their sixties and beyond. By 2050, the
world’s population aged 60 and older is expected to total 2 billion, up from 900 million in 2015.
While this shift in proportion (比例) of a country’s population towards older ages---known as ageing---started in high-
income countries, for example in Japan, 30% of the population are already over 60 years old, it is now low- and middle-
income countries that are experiencing the greatest change. 1.__________.At the biological level, ageing results from
molecular (分子的) and cellular damage over time.
This leads to a growing risk of disease and eventually death. 2. __________.That’s why we say there is no “typical”
older person. While some 70 year-olds enjoy extremely good health, other 70 year-olds are weak and require a lot of help
from others.
3. _________________.Retirement, relocation and the death of friends and partners are some of the possible reasons.
For example, moving older people to a better house, which seems an admirable behavior, may do harm to their health
eventually.
4._____________. Some people believe older people can be active and productive. A longer life brings opportunities,
both for older people themselves and for society. They can pursue new activities such as further education or a
new career. They also contribute in many ways to communities. 5. ______________.This can lead to discrimination
against older people. Therefore, society as a whole needs to address the ageist attitude by developing sound policies and
offering various opportunities so that older people can experience fulfilling ageing.
Practice
A. Nobody can ever escape from the ageing process.
B. But these changes are only loosely linked to a person’s age.
C. Yet the extent of their contribution depends heavily on their health.
D. Beyond biological changes, ageing is also related to other life
changes.
E. Although ageing is a universal trend, views towards older people
divide.
F. However, to others, older people are weak, dependent, and a
burden to society.
G. By 2050, many countries like Chile and China will have a similar
rate of older people to Japan.
