We arranged that Kissinger(基辛格) would fly to Vietnam early in July and then stop in Pakistan on the way back． There he would develop a stomachache that would require him to stay in bed and not be seen by the press． Then, with President Yapha’s help, he would be taken to the airport where a Pakistani jet would fly him over the mountains to China.

Kissinger’s trip was given the name Polo after Marco Polo, another Western traveler who made history by journey in China． Everything went quite smoothly． His slight illness in Islamabad received only small attention from reporters covering him． They accepted the story that he would be kept shut up for at least a few days and began making arrangements for their own activities.

Because of the need for complete secrecy and the lack of any direct communication facilities between Beijing and Washington, I knew that we would have no word from Kissinger while he was in China． Even after he had returned to Pakistan, it would still be important to keep it secret, so before Kissinger left, we agreed on a single code word – Eureka – which he would use if his missions were successful and the presidential trip had been arranged． On July 11, Al Haig, who knew our code work, phoned to say that a cable(電傳) from Kissinger had arrived.

“What’s the message?” I asked． “Eureka”． he replied.

A． the trip must be kept secret

B． president Yapha would not fly together with Kissinger

Use phones respectfully

You probably spend more time with your smart phone than any other possession. You take it everywhere — to school, to meals, and even to the bathroom, 1. But we have to learn to use our phones respectfully or at least without offending others around us. Here are some tips for smart phone usage. Take a look.

Use “do not disturb” instead of “vibrate（振動）”

Loud vibrations in your pants are disturbing. People can hear your phone vibrate, depending on how severely it vibrates. 2.

Tell others what you’re doing

Sometimes, you will be in a situation in which you need to use your smart phone. 3. If you don’t, people will think that you’re either interacting with someone else or just getting bored.

4.

Respect others’ privacy as text and e-mail senders by not letting what they type appear on the home screen of your phone when you receive a new message. While you’re at it, use a password to make sure the information you share with others stays between you.

Ask permission to swipe（滑動）

When someone hands you their phone to look at a photo, this doesn’t mean you can swipe through all of their photo albums. 5.

A. Don’t use the text preview feature on your home screen.

B. It is difficult to ignore and distracts people from whatever they are doing.

C. You should use your smart phone secretly.

D. They probably want you to see the one photo they hand to you, not every photo they have taken.

E. Of course, a smart phone is a great way to keep in touch and share life events.

F. So it’s thrilling to look through all their photos.

G. Just tell people what you’re doing and why you’re doing it.
