  After the war,the Japanese chief of intelligence, Lt. General Seizo Arisue, admitted that his forces were never able to break the code used by the US Marine Corps(海军陆战队) .Be?cause the Navajo code talkers were the secret code of the Marines, they were often heavily guarded.

  The use of the Navajo Code was so successful that some code talkers were guarded by fel?low Marines, whose role was to kill them in case of possible capture by the enemy.

  In 1942 ,when the original 29 code talkers developed their "secret weapon" ,there were a-bout 50,000 members of the Navajo nation. By the end of the war, 540 men had served as Ma?rines. At least 400 of those were trained as code talkers.

  For decades following the war,the Navajos' contribution went unrecognized due to national security issues. It wasn't until 1968 that anyone outside the military knew about the code. The code talkers were even forbidden to tell their families about it. But in July of 2001 ,the President and Congress of the United States honored the 29 code creators. Only five were still alive. The remarks of President Bush expressed the late thankfulness of a nation whose victory in the Pacific may not have been possible without the Navajos. When the President spoke, he addressed the men whose grandfathers had made the "Long Walk" to their new home 78 years before the code talkers became Marines.

In 2002 the code talkers were honored with a movie that pictured their brave behavior:Windtalkers. For the first time,people everywhere learned their story.

   Mystery, the word excites our curiosity. Mystery novels sell thousands of copies each year and many readers count Agatha Christie among their favorite authors.

  Christie was born in September of 1890 in England. When she was growing up,her mother often told her stories. Christie loved these stories that took her into a world of fantasy. Christie's mother also encouraged her to write from a young age.

  At 16, Christie went to a school in Paris to study piano and singing. She learned to play the piano very well. But she never made music a career because of stage fright(怯场) .At 22,she fell in love with Archie Christie. They got married in 1914 at the beginning of World War I.

  During the war,Christie wrote her first detective story;The Mysterious Affair at Styles. She chose the crime,and then invented a detective named Hercule Poirot to solve it. She sent the book to a publisher, but it was rejected.

  After the war ended, Christie sent her book to more publishers and finally in 1920,one published it. She earned just $25 for it. Over the next few years,Christie wrote more books and short stories,gaining experience as a writer. In spite of her literary success,life was not go?ing well at home. In 1928 ,Archie and Agatha got a divorce. A short time later, while traveling in Baghdad, she met Max Mallowan, a young archaeologist. After getting married in 1930, they began to spend time each year in the Middle East,which provided settings for some of Christie's novels. She often wrote about what she saw and experienced.
