The Eurpean Unin n Mnday prhibited (禁止) the use f X­ray bdy scanners (扫描仪) in Eurpean airprts, parting ways with the U.S. Transprtatin Security Administratin(TSA), which has used hundreds f the scanners as a way t screen millins f airline passengers fr explsives (爆炸物) hidden under clthing.
The Eurpean Cmmissin, which enfrces cmmn plicies f the EU’s member cuntries, adpted the rule “in rder nt t risk ding harm t citizens’ health and safety”.
As a PBS NewsHur investigatin detailed earlier this mnth, X­ray bdy scanners use inizing radiatin (电离辐射), a frm f energy that has been shwn t damage DNA and cause cancer. Althugh the amunt f radiatin is extremely lw, equal t the radiatin a persn wuld receive in a few minutes f flying, several research studies have cncluded that a small number f cancer cases wuld result frm scanning hundreds f millins f passengers a year.
Eurpean cuntries will be allwed t use an alternative (可替代的) bdy scanner relying n radi frequency waves, which have nt been linked t cancer. The U.S. TSA has als used hundreds f thse machines—knwn as millimeter­wave scanners—in U.S. airprts. But unlike Eurpe, it has decided t use bth types f scanners.
The TSA wuld nt cmment specifically n the EU’s decisin. But in a statement, TSA spkesman Mike McCarthy said, “As ne f ur many layers f security, TSA uses the mst advanced technlgy available t prvide the best pprtunity t detect (探测) dangerus items, such as explsives.” “We strictly test ur technlgy t ensure it meets ur high detectin and safety standards befre it is placed in airprts,” he cntinued, “Since January 2010, advanced imaging technlgy has detected mre than 300 dangerus r illegal items n passengers in U.S. airprts natinwide.”
Bdy scanners have been cntrversial (有争议的) in the United States since they
were first used in prisns in the late 1990s and then in airprts fr tests after 9·11.
Why did the Eurpean Unin prhibit the use f X­ray scanners in Eurpean airprts?
A. Because they rely n radi frequency waves.
B. Because they might d harm t passengers.
C. Because they are nt effective in use.
D. Because their radiatin is extremely high.
22. Which f the fllwing is TRUE abut the new bdy scanners t be used in Eurpe?
A. They wn’t risk causing cancer.
B. They use inizing radiatin.
C. They are nt used in U.S. airprts.
D. They can detect mre dangerus items.
23. What can we infer frm TSA’s statement?
A. The TSA will stp using the X­ray scanners.
B. The TSA wn’t use EU’s alternative scanners.
C. The X­ray scanners are safe and effective.
D. The EU’s alternative scanners are nt advanced.
24. What is the main idea f the passage?
A. The EU and the U.S. have different pinins.
B. Eurpe bans X­ray bdy scanners used at U.S. airprts.
C. Different scanners will be used in America.
D. Bdy scanners have been cntrversial.

I remember back t my 7th year in schl. In my first P. E. class, the teacher required us t run laps and then hit a sftball. I didn’t d either well. He later infrmed me that I was “nt athletic”.
The idea that I was “nt athletic” stuck with me fr years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, nt abut cmpetitin r whether r nt I was athletic. It was all abut the battle against my wn bdy and mind. A test f wills!
The night befre my marathn, I dreamt that I culdn’t even find the finish line. I wke up sweating and nervus, but ready t prve smething t myself.
Shrtly after crssing the start line, my shes laces (鞋带) became untied. S I stpped t readjust. Nt the start I wanted!
At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”
By mile 17, I became ut f breath and the nce injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the curse walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21, I was starving!
As I apprached mile 23, I culd see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clck sunding at 4 a.m. r questined my expenses n running.
I was ne f the final runners t finish. But I finished! And I gt a medal. In fact, I gt the same medal as the ne that the guy wh came in first place had.
Determined t be myself, mve frward, free f shame and wrldly labels (世俗标签), I can nw call myself a “marathn winner”.
