Robinson got up and with great effort walked to the spring, and there he cooled his burning feet and gathered some large leaves, which he bound on them. he decided to remain in his cave a few days, for he had enough food stored up to last him some length of time, and he planned how he might make himself a pair of shoes. as soon as his feet were well, he sought out some thick bark and put fastenings of tough, strong fiber on it. these served very well to protect his feet, but he needed to have some further protection from the sun. it beamed so hot that his hat was not enough, so he made an umbrella out of leaves like his hat.

Read the excerpt from the code book. without much hope of a theoretical breakthrough, cryptanalysts have been forced to look for a technological innovation. if there is no obvious way to reduce the number of steps required for factoring, then cryptanalysts need a technology that will perform these steps more quickly. silicon chips will continue to get faster as the years pass, doubling in speed roughly every eighteen months, but this is not enough to make a real impact on the speed of factoring—cryptanalysts require a technology that is billions of times faster than current computers. consequently, cryptanalysts are looking toward a radically new form of computer, the quantum computer. if scientists could build a quantum computer, it would be able to perform calculations with such enormous speed that it would make a modern supercomputer look like a broken abacus. the author’s purpose in this paragraph is to convince the readers to pursue a career in analysis. explain the need for faster technology in cryptanalysis. entertain with interesting stories about supercomputers. argue for more money to develop a quantum computer.
