CNN News Item 41 军事：美国宣布停止制造新核武器 The U.S. government says it will stop making new, nuclear weapons, and it’s reconsidering what to do with the weapons that already exist. The announcement came yesterday, two days before President Obama is scheduled to sign a treaty with Russia that would reduce how many nuclear weapons both countries have. It also comes one week before he hosts a global meeting on nuclear security. More than 40 countries are expected to attend that. But back to yesterday’s announcement. This new policy would stop production of nuclear weapons. It would also invest about $5 billion in extending the life of weapons that already exist. Seven countries are officially recognized as nuclear powers, meaning they have nuclear weapons. But there are other countries that are suspected of trying to make them. U.S. officials hope this change from America will encourage other countries — all countries — to help control the spread of nuclear weapons. U.S. has promised not to use its own nukes against anyone who does that. But as Defense Secretary Robert Gates pointed out, that doesn’t mean retaliation is out of the question in every situation.

CNN News Item 54 医学：H1N1 流感 Mexico says it’s winning the war against the H1N1 virus, President Phillipe Calderon says, aggressive government action helped get a grip on the outbreak, hundreds of patients showing symptoms are being treated in isolation units, but, the health minister says the number of new cases is declining so the shut down of Mexico City may ease soon, businesses there have lost $100 million a day by some estimates. Officials may also reopen schools across the country, but the government says it’s going to be cautious. World Health officials are stressing that you cannot get H1N1 from eating pork, but that isn’t stopping Egypt from killing all the country’s pigs, that’s lead to clashes between police and pig farmers. Farmers in Cairo battled Government forces with stones and bottles. There were several injuries and more than a dozen arrests. Egypt is a mostly Muslim country and most of the people there, therefore consider Pigs unclean. The number of confirmed cases in the U.S. has jumped, but officials say, that’s from catching up on a backlog of lab tests, the count now stands at 226, with confirmed cases in 30 states.

CNN News Item 60 教育：奥巴马在小学发表演讲 President Obama speaking to school kids around the country at noon Eastern today. The White House released the speech yesterday to try to dispel rumors that he will use it to push up a political agenda. The address encourages kids to work hard and stay committed to education. But not all school districts will be airing the speech. Some say it’s because parents complained. Other say it would disrupt an already hectic school day.

CNN News Item 67 社会：烟草制造商试图吸引年轻人 Harvard researchers suggest some cigarette makers are trying to hook young smokers with milder menthol cigarettes. According to the scientists, higher menthol levels popular with older smokers are too strong for new smokers. A spokesman for Philip Morris USA denies the allegations. Ten years ago, tobacco companies and state governments made an agreement that prohibits companies from targeting the young.

CNN News Item 87 环境保护：绿色和平组织极力阻止猎鲸行为 Greenpeace is trying to stop suspected whalers. It’s been tracking in the Antarctic Ocean. The environmental group located the whaling fleet after searching for more than a week. Greenpeace is warning it will take non-violent action to stop any whales from being killed. The most commercial whaling is banned. Japan operates on a loophole that does allow scientific research.

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

CARL AZUZ, CNN ANCHOR: This is the CNN STUDENT NEWS. Welcome to Wednesday show. I`m Carl Azuz, reporting from Atlanta. Venezuela is one of three divided countries we`ve told you about recently. It`s seeing protests against its president, rallies in support of him and violence in the upheaval. Its current leader like its previous one has been controversial. He`s moved the country further towards socialism, expending the government`s control over things like businesses, the economy, the media. In fact, the government`s been pressuring Venezuelan media to downplay the violence in the country. But word of instability is getting out.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: More wreckage to fortify opposition lines. Caracas`s wealthier east side was blockaded Monday. Antigovernment activists responding to the twitter #day of the barricades.

"I don`t want to wait in food lines. I don`t want to be kidnapped. I`m a hostage in my own home," she says.

Scores of picket lines sprang up. The opposition seems to be beefing up its bid to topple Venezuela`s socialist government. Outrage at soaring crime and a tanking economy triggered the protests. But across on the city`s poor west side, there are few signs government loyalists are deserting on mass. Pro-regime motorcycle clubs, just the latest call group to show public support for President Nicolas Maduro. The president insists the opposition is trying to stage a U.S. -funded coup attempt.

"The right wing extremists are being marginalized in Venezuela, and it`s us, the revolutionaries who were getting support from other countries, the president said. No rule opposition protesters agree on the changing tactics, especially since the barricades are in the opposition`s own neighborhoods.

"The pro-government loyalists are armed, and we aren`t," so we are shielding behind barricades and wait for them to arrive, he says. As the day wore on, there was no word of serious clashes, but the battle lines have been drawn.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

AZUZ: It`s Worldwide Wednesday on CNN STUDENT NEWS, and we`re going to stay in South America for the first part of today`s roll call. In the nation of Ecuador, we are glad to be part of your day at Academia Cotopaxi. This school is in Ecuadorian capital of Quito. Moving north now

to Canada, thank you for watching at Philemon Wright High School. It`s located in Gatineau, Quebec. And across the Atlantic Ocean, the Italy - hello to the students and teachers of ITCS Leon Battista Alberti. Glad to see you in Veneto.

For the first time, the U.S. government is getting involved in how food is marketed in public schools. The Obama administration wants schools to eliminate ads for foods that are high in sugar, fat and salt. Critics say it shouldn`t be up to the government to decide what kids eat, and some school districts think the latest rules might mean lost revenue from ads.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

MICHELLE OBAMA: Our classrooms should be healthy places where kids are not bombarded with ads for junk food.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: New rules proposed by First Lady Michelle Obama and the U.S. Department of Agriculture would eliminate advertisements for unhealthy food and drinks in schools.

MICHELLE OBAMA: Parents should be in control of their kids` health. And their good efforts at home shouldn`t be undermined when they send their kids off to school.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It would mean hallways and score boards with coke or Pepsi advertisements would have to be changed. The new push comes on the fourth anniversary of the first lady`s let`s move initiative. It`s fighting childhood obesity by promoting healthy eating and exercise while encouraging healthy choices.

MICHELLE OBAMA: And water just surpassed soda as the most commonly consumed beverage in America. Yeah! Go on! Drink up!

(APPLAUSE)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: She says the program is showing results.

MICHELLE OBAMA: Children born today will be accustomed to eating healthy food during the school day. So for them the norm will be fruits and vegetables and not chips and candy.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: She says, for schools healthy students are not the only benefit.

MICHELLE OBAMA: Although they are not changing - charging any more for their lunches, they are actually making more money because more kids are participating in the school lunch programs.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The American Beverage Association, which represents brands like Coke, Pepsi and Dr. Pepper, came out in favor of the new proposed measures. I`m Alisa Reiny (ph)

reporting.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Time for "The Shoutout." Which of these adjectives relates to the sense of sight? If you think you know it, shout it out. Is it: ocular, obstruent, gustatory or haptic? You`ve got three seconds, go!

The adjective "ocular" has to do with eyes or eyesight, so that`s your answer and that`s your "Shoutout."

AZUZ: A piece of ocular technology has Internet giant Google getting more involved in politics. We`ve talked about Google glass before. It`s eyewear with the small camera and TV screen. The camera lets you take pictures of whatever you see. The screen lets you read email, see texts and get directions and other info.

Lawmakers in several states are considering banning Google Glass for drivers. They are concerned the eyewear will create another distraction, and that people will pay more attention to what`s on Google Glass than what`s on the road. Google says laws against its product aren`t necessary. It`s lobbying politicians in several states to keep Google Glass legal. The company argues that Glass isn`t widely available enough to justify a ban. But an Illinois state senator who wants a ban says the wearable technology will be widely available in the future. Another lawmaker in Maryland says if someone`s pulled over with Google Glass, it will be difficult for police to prove whether the device was operating. The solution, he said, ban it altogether.

Our next story today is about Braille. It`s a universal system of writing for and by blind people. And users raised dots that are read when fingers are passed over them. Braille printers can run thousands of dollars, but not this one - it cost a seventh grader in California 350 bucks for the Lego Minestorms kit. Plus, the few extra dollars for some materials from the Home Depot. Shubham Banerjee hopes his invention will help people in poor countries who may not be able to afford a commercial Braille printer. His invention isn`t perfect. It`s slow and it needs improvements to print out full pages of text. Banerjee is working on those. And he`s putting a complete how to on the Internet. So anyone could build one of their one at a relatively low cost.

Yesterday we told you about incredibly high pollution in the Chinese capital and showed you some seriously foggy pictures. That show is available on our archive section at cnnstudentnews.com.

Until the cold front comes this week, the air is unsafe for anyone to spend time outside, even for recess. So, what`s a school to do?

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

DAVID MCKENZIE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Recess at the International School of Beijing. So where

are all the students? All 1900 of them banned from going outside, because the air is so bad.

So bad so often, the school built an enormous dome to scrub out the pollution.

The dome cost $5 million to build and took nine months. It has a soft Teflon coated roof and the entire thing is pressurized. Also, that these children can play in Beijing.

Housing a soccer field and basketball courts, it`s their strange reality of growing up in China.

Tiny pollution particles threaten health the most. So they seal the air inside and clean it with three giant filters. Monitoring air quality levels twice a day at 25 spots around the school. In the past ten days alone, the pollution levels outside have been up to 12 times the World Health Organization acceptable rates.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

On Lake Superior South Shore there are sea caves that people can typically explore by kayak or canoe. Or you can just stroll right in. One upside to a brutally cold winter, the ice on the lake is thick enough to walk to, then walk inside the caves. Water sipping through the ground was crystallized by the cold. The movie "Frozen" comes to life. More than 75,000 people have gotten these views on foot over the past month. We are guessing those who hesitated finally caved. After subfreezing temperatures, they needed to see what was a foot, what iceactly what this was all about (ph). They certainly got a superior view after all. What`s not to lake about it? Sad, isn`t it? We`ll see you tomorrow when CNN STUDENT NEWS returns.

篇三：cnn student news 2011.10.12

(CNN Student News) -- October 12, 2011

CARL AZUZ, CNN ANCHOR: Today`s forecast: widespread global headlines, zero chance of commercials, at least for the next 10 minutes. From the CNN Newsroom to your classrooms, this is CNN Student News.

First up today, the U.S. Congress is considering taking action on President Obama`s jobs bill. It was schedule to come up for a procedural vote, which is kind of like a test vote last night.

But here`s the thing about it: no one expects it to pass.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): Everyone in Washington wants to find ways to create jobs in America, even though they don`t agree on how to do that. President Obama says his bill is the solution, and he`s been pushing to get it passed.

BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Let`s put construction workers on the job. Let`s put teachers in the classroom. Let`s give small businesses a tax break. Let`s help our veterans. Pass this bill. Let`s meet our responsibilities.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: The economy is expected to be a big focus of next year`s presidential election. Some people think the debate over this specific bill is actually more about politics than about really trying to get something done.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

SEN. MITCH MCCONNELL: What this week has shown, beyond any doubt, is that Democrats would rather talk about partisan legislation they won`t pass, than on actually passing legislation we know would create jobs.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: U.S. officials say they`ve broken up an alleged murder plot targeting Saudi Arabia`s ambassador to the United States. Saudi Arabia and the U.S. are allies. And according to authorities, this plan

was organized by people inside Iran`s government.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): Justice officials say two men, both with ties to Iran, began plotting to kill the Saudi ambassador back in the spring. A spokesman for Iran`s government said the alleged plot is a complete lie. This is a developing story, so if you want the latest details on it, you could go to our home page -- that`s cnnstudentnews.com.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: The Dallas Mavericks are the reigning champs in the National Basketball Association, but defense of that title for them? Going to have to wait a bit, because the NBA has canceled its first two weeks of its season.

This is part of that lockout that started in July we`ve been telling you about. Owners and players can`t make a deal on the rules for player salaries and how to split up the money that the league makes. And this isn`t just a sports story, it`s a business one as well. Mark McKay looks at the financial ripple effects of this lockout.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

MARK MCKAY, CNN REPORTER: Philips Arena is home to the NBA`s Atlanta Hawks, but these doors won`t be opening for basketball any time soon. The league`s decision to cancel some regular season games made sure of that. But that decision just doesn`t impact team owners and players. It also affects surrounding businesses that count on those games being played.

SCOT HUMPHREYS, GM, DANTANNA`S: There`s definitely going to be a decrease in business on what would have been home games. We usually get a nice pop two hours before the game. Then depending on how they do, some after-game business.

AARON BUGGS, ASSISTANT GM, STATS RESTAURANT: We always try to make sure we have a good showing of conventioneers to come to the restaurant. But as far as filling the void from Philips Arena, there`s pretty much nothing that we can do. I mean, our hands are pretty much tied when it comes to that.

MCKAY (voice-over): The NBA just completed one of its most

successful seasons in years. Attendance, merchandise sales and television ratings were all up, but that momentum could be lost if the current lockout continues for an extended period.

CHRIS MANNIX, SPORTS ILLUSTRATED SENIOR WRITER: These two sides should be sitting in a room in New York City for the next, you know, week, two weeks, however long it takes to get done. But right now, they seem content to not negotiate, not meet, and to sort of let this thing play out and see who blinks first.

MCKAY (voice-over): The cost for this waiting game will be expensive. NBA commissioner David Stern said the league lost $200 million by canceling the preseason. If a significant amount of regular seasons games are lost as well, the league will find itself having to satisfy broadcast partners who paid billions to televise those games.

KURT BADENHAUSEN, FORBES SENIOR EDITOR: The NBA is going to have to make good with their TV partners. They`re not going to continue to pay for no games. And, you know, it has effect on the TV partners because they use NBA games, which are strong ratings drivers for a, say, a TNT. They`re strong ratings drivers, and that helps boost ratings for other programming.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Today`s Shoutout goes out to Mr. Schoettler`s students at Millennial Tech Middle School in San Diego, California.

What happened on this day in history? Your options? Revolutionaries stormed the Bastille, Ponce de Leon discovered Florida, armistice ended World War I or Columbus landed in the Bahamas. You`ve got three seconds, go.

On October 12th, 1492, Christopher Columbus reached the Bahamas. That`s your answer, and that`s your Shoutout.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: And that`s the reason why today is National Day in Spain. Earlier this week we talked about how Spain paid for Columbus` journey. The United States celebrates Columbus Day on the second Monday in October. But Spain`s national holiday is right on the anniversary of when the explorer reached the New World, and countries all over Latin America celebrate as well.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): The day, October 12th, is called Dia de la Raza. There are ceremonies, parades and festivals commemorating this day. There`s also been some controversy around Dia de la Raza. Some people argue that when Europeans began settling the Americas, it led to the deaths of many native people who were already there. And critics don`t think it should be celebrated.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: October is National Anti-Bullying Awareness Month, and earlier this week, we heard some juniors and seniors` advice about how to stop bullying. Anderson Cooper talked recently with a group of students who saw bullying and then stepped in to take action against it. He wanted to know what motivated them to take on the issue.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

ANDERSON COOPER, CNN ANCHOR: It does seem like a lot of the -- a lot of schools now have anti-bullying efforts, and a lot of the focus is now on people like yourself, people who are willing to intervene, getting other kids to be willing to stand up and say, you know what, look, I witnessed this. This is not -- this is not right. You can`t continue to do this.

Why do you think intervene in situations?

SHARON, STUDENT, THE WHEATLEY SCHOOL: Because I see them, like the way they are like after everything happens, like how they`re so sad and crying and everything, and just feel bad for them I guess.

COOPER: But it`s interesting, because only a small percentage of kids in the school, I think like 19 to 21 percent -- only a small percentage of kids actually intervene. Why -- I mean, why do you think you`ve intervened?

JACOB, STUDENT, THE WHEATLEY SCHOOL: Well, there were a few kids actually in class who was acting in an aggressive manner towards him, verbal abuse, most of the time. And it was making him upset. He didn`t -- he didn`t tell anyone about it, but I could see it.

COOPER: So you saw that it was having an effect on him?

JACOB: Oh, yes. But that -- without a doubt.

COOPER: Andrew, how about for you?

ANDREW, STUDENT, THE WHEATLEY SCHOOL: Yes, I`ve seen situations where kids were just being picked on, and the kid actually said stop, just stop whatever you`re doing, and they just kept on going and going.

COOPER: Have you ever been bullied?

ANDREW: Yes, when I was younger, in elementary school.

COOPER: So you know -- you -- do you think the fact that you`ve been bullied when you were younger, you kind of know what it feels like and makes you more prone to intervene?

ANDREW: Yes, I mean, it definitely gets me angry when I see someone being picked on. And it -- I kind of want to like stop it.

COOPER: What makes you angry about it?

ANDREW: Just that the kid didn`t do anything to deserve the bullying. So I just wanted to stop it, because I didn`t want to see something escalate.

COOPER: It`s interesting. The sociologist terms kind of the social dynamics in schools, "social combat," which I`d never heard the term before, and I think it`s kind of an interesting term. But I mean, is that overstating it? Or, I mean, (inaudible).

JACOB: No.

ANDREW: Not at all.

COOPER: Not at all?

JACOB: Yes.

ANDREW: No.

COOPER: I think -- you`re like it`s totally social combat. How so?
