1.滴滴滴，金属探测器发现了一些可疑的东西。保安人员把等待飞机的乘客带到一边，准备进行身体检查来搜寻藏匿的武器。“请把你的鞋子脱掉。穿制服的官员说道，接着开始认真地检查乘客的黑色皮鞋。这时，等待通过安检门的乘客的队伍越来越长。每一位乘客都必须脱下外套、清空口袋里的零钱、钱包和钥匙，甚至解掉裤子的皮带。所有这些东西都存放在个塑料托盘里。然后，要求乘客打开行李箱，取出笔记本电脑，拿出装有牙膏、沐浴露、洗发水、乳液等洗漱用品的透明塑料袋以供检查。进行完所有这一切才能进行下一位乘客的检查。日益重要的公共安全研究Translation:(Para.2&3)

2.飞机乘客都会注意到机场安检在最近几年已经大大加强了。自从2001年9月11日以及有人去年携带液体炸弹企图袭击大西洋航程的恐怖计划被挫败之后，美国政府当局和航空公司实行了更严格的管制。美国实行了更为严格的安全措施：现在任何想前往美国的旅客都必须留下指纹记录。3.9/11事件是一个重大的转折，它使得我们所面临的威胁的性质发生了明显的改变。20世纪下半叶，世界安全主要由两大军事力量

(北约和华约）来主导。现在冷战已经结束，取而代之的是Translation:(Para.3&4)

难以界定的多重威胁。自杀式炸弹使得伦敦整个公交网络瘫痪，洪水几乎在地图上抹去了新奥尔良

，SARS病毒（严重急性呼吸道综合症）以客机乘客为媒介在数小时内传遍全球。当今社会必须学会保护自己以免遭受恐怖袭击、工业事故以及流行病的打击。当今的公共安全已经不仅仅需要单纯的军事行动，更需要的是加强民事保护措施。4.因运而生的是美国国土安全部。与此同时，美国明显增加了安全研究及相关技术的支出。在欧洲，安全研究计划也得到了更高等级的优先权，这成为欧盟第七框架计划的重要组成部分。欧盟打算从2007到2013年在安全研究上投资14亿欧元。Translation:(Para.5&6)

5.德国在这方面拥有坚实的基础，虽然还没有注重公民保护方面的系统性和战略性的研究，但情况很快将会改变。德国开始着手跨学科的合作研究，德国政府已经批准创建首项跨部门安全研究计划项目。德国研究部已经拨出1.23亿欧元来资助未来4年的研究计划。同时德国把国家安全研究作为德国政府的高科技战略目标。6.对公共安全需求的增加只是这些巨资背后的原因之一。安全保障体系迅速发展成为重要的商业和工业研究领域。欧盟正义自由安全委员会委员弗朗科·弗拉蔕尼坚持认为欧洲不应仅仅只是Translation:(Paras.6)

消费集团，而且也应该是这些技术的制造者。仅在德国，安全系统和相关服务在2005年就有100亿欧元的投资，而且现在还在稳步增长。在全球，公共安全研究增长率大约是7到8个百分点。德国国防和安全联盟主席克劳斯·托马教授在谈到我们面临的挑战时说：“我们的社会很容易受到极端主义团伙的暴力袭击。”最大的威胁是对像饮用水、电力供应、工业厂房、核反应堆以及交通和通讯网络这样的基础设施和关键资源的打击。无论这些危机是人为失误、恐怖袭击抑或自然灾害造成的，在这些社会敏感点出了问题将会导致严重的后果。Post-readingActivitiesWatchthevideoclipentitled“AirlineBodyScannersFaulty?”anddothefollowingexercises.I.WatchandPracticeWordsandExpressionssophisticateda.精密的,高级的scann.扫瞄controversiala.有争议的TSAn.美国运输安全局pickupv.识别,发现detectv.发现Post-readingActivitiesI.WatchandPracticeGiveabriefanswertoeachofthefollowingquestions.1)HowdoestheUSA-madebodyscanmachinesdetecthiddenweaponsandexplosives?2)Arethesedeviceseffectiveorineffective?Andwhy?3)WhatdidTSAcommentaboutthebodyscanmachine?Post-readingActivitiesI.WatchandPracticeSuggestedanswers:1)Theyusedradiofrequenciestoscanforhiddenweaponsandexplosives.2)Ineffective.Becausetherearefalsealarms49%ofthetime,andthemachinescan'tdistinguishbetweenbodysweatexplosivesorthepleatsinatraveller'spantsandanunderwearbomb.3)Themachinesarethebestthey'vegotfornow.Andsincelastyear,thetechnologyhasdetectedmorethan300dangerousorillegalitemsonairportpassengers,fortunatelynoexplosives,mostlydrugsandknives.Post-readingActivitiesListentothereportandfillintheblankswithwhatyouhaveheard.II.ListeningPracticeWordsandExpressionscoalitionn.EncyclopediaWikipedian.lawsuitn.surveillancen.constitutionala.sweepupv.联盟维基百科诉讼盯梢,监督宪法的清扫
