1【Hong Kong arrests ferry crew over crash】香港逮捕撞船事故工作人员
TEXT:Hong Kong officials hang their heads for a moment of silence. They are mourning the victims killed when two ferries collided Monday night. Among them -- five children. The police commissioner announced the arrest of six crew members and said more arrests were expected. COMMISSIONER OF POLICE, TSANG WAI-HUNG, SAYING: "From the investigation so far, we've come to the suspicion that the crew responsible for manning the two vessels has not exercised the care required of them by law to ensure the safety of the vessels that they are navigating, as well as the people on board their vessels. It is on this basis that they've been arrested to assist police enquiry." Nine people were seriously injured and more than 100 hospitalized after a ferry owned by Hong Kong Electric Company carrying passengers on a company outing collided with another ferry and sank. The second ferry owned by Hong Kong and Kowloon Ferry Holdings made it safely to the pier. Rescuers are still searching for those missing, but an official said early efforts were hampered by the vessel being partially sunken as well as poor visibility and clutter on board. Serious marine incidents are rare in the busy shipping hub.
参考译文:香港官员垂头默哀片刻，哀悼周一晚上两渡轮相撞事故中包括五名孩子在内的遇难者。公安局局长宣布对六名随船工作人员实施逮捕，并表示将展开更多的逮捕行动。公安局长Tsang Wai-Hung说:“从目前的调查来看，我们已经怀疑负责装配这两船只的工作人员并没有按照法律上确保船只安全起航所需的要求来对其进行护理，包括随船人员。基于这个原因我们将其抓捕来协助警方调查。”其中一艘轮船属于香港电力公司，正携带公司游客出游，在与另一辆轮船发生碰撞后沉没，造成9人严重受伤，100多人住院治疗。另一艘轮船属于香港九龙轮船控股，目前已安全安全回到码头。救援人员仍在搜寻失踪人员，但一名官员表示，部分下沉的船身，低的能见度以及船面的杂乱使得起初的救助受到限制。在这个繁忙的航运中枢，这类严重的海上事故是极其少见的。
2【US cannot confirm veracity of journalist hostage video】美国未能确认视频中被绑架记者的真实性
TEXT:A vehicle stops in an unknown location, carrying a man believed to be American journalist Austin Tice, who disappeared in Syria in August. The footage, which cannot be independently verified by Reuters, surfaced on Monday (October 1) and appeared to show the blindfolded 31-year-old being led by an armed group. The U.S. State Department said they couldn't confirm it was Tice in the video. A spokesperson said the authorities believe Tice is being held by the Syrian government. STATE DEPARTMENT SPOKESWOMAN VICTORIA NULAND, SAYING (English): "I don't have anything further to what I said yesterday, where I certainly raised the possibility that it could have been staged for purposes of the regime exculpating itself. Frankly, we just don't know. We don't know if it was him. We don't know what -- but we continue to believe, based on the limited information that we have, that he is in regime custody." Tice's parents released a statement regarding the video, saying it was "comforting" to know their son was alive.
参考译文:一辆汽车停在了一未知地点，车上被认为携带着8月时在叙利亚失踪美国记者Austin Tice。这段公布于周一的录像似乎显示一名被蒙上眼睛的31岁男子被一武装集团控制，路透社无法独立核实视频的真实性。美国国务院表示，他们无法确认视频中的男子是不是Tice。一名发言人表示，当局确定Tice正被叙利亚政府劫持。美国国务院发言人Victoria Nuland说：“我对我昨天说的没有任何补充，我当然提出了这样的可能性---这可能上演到政府为自己开脱的目的。老实的说，我们确实不知道，我们不知道是不是Tice。基于现在有限的信息我们仍不知道，但我们仍然认为他被当权拘留了。”Tice的父母对这个视频发表声明，称知道自己儿子还活着很是"欣慰"。
3【Monks demand peace in Bangladesh】孟加拉僧侣呼吁和平
TEXT:Monks march in Thailand, urging the United Nations to intervene in a sectarian conflict in Bangladesh. Gathering outside a U.N. building in Bangkok, they called for protection for their fellow Buddhists and urged the U.N. to take action. The demo came after violence between Muslims and Buddhists, which saw temples and at least 50 homes set on fire. Police said the attacks happened after Muslims saw a photo on Facebook of a burned Koran, allegedly posted by a young Buddhist. The online account has since been removed.
参考译文:在泰国，僧侣游行示威敦促联合国的介入孟加拉国宗派冲突。他们聚集在曼谷一联合国大楼外，呼吁保护他们的佛教徒并敦促联合国采取行动。示威是在穆斯林和佛教徒之间发生暴力冲突后展开的，庙宇以及至少50户人家被纵火。警方表示，袭击事件是因为穆斯林在Facebook上看到一张被烧毁的《可兰经》，据说这张照片是由一年轻的佛教徒公布的。在线账户已经被移除。

CNN学生新闻
TEXT:CARL AZUZ, CNN ANCHOR: A celebration turns into chaos. A message in the bottle becomes a lesson in the classroom, and it`s time for round one of the U.S. presidential debates. I`m Carl Azuz, this is CNN STUDENT NEWS.
PETER EYRE, COMM. ON PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES: What you`ll see is Governor Romney and President Obama standing at podiums on the stage, then we`ll have the moderator, Mr. Lehrer, on the lower level.
AZUZ: That`s what it will look like tonight, but this was the arena on Monday with crews putting that stage together and getting ready for the lights to go up. That happens tonight when the candidates face off in the first of three presidential debates. This one is happening at the University of Denver, and some of the students who were going to be in the audience talked about their excitement leading up to the event.
COLE ORTEGA, UNIV. OF DENVER FRESHMAN: I thought it was cool that the debate was coming to D.U., but now that I get to go and actually see the whole -- the actual debate live, I think that will be awesome, and I hope to just learn more about the political process.
PAUL MACLAS, UNIV. OF DENVER GRADUATE STUDENT: It`s just something that I can say, to, I don`t know, my children or something like that, that I can -- that I was -- I was here witnessing that with my fellow student body.
AZUZ: Of course, you don`t have to be in the arena to see tonight`s debate, you can tune into CNN or log on to cnn.com/debates. It all starts at 9 p.m. Eastern. These debates are a chance for the candidates to present their ideas to a big audience. What`s said during a debate can influence how people vote, sometimes they can define the presidential campaign. Anderson Cooper looks back at some memorable debate moments from the past.
ANDERSON COOPER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: September 26th, 1960. The first televised presidential debate signaling a new era, where appearances matter more than ever. And gaffes, however small, are magnified.
JOHN F. KENNEDY: The goals are the same for all Americans.
COOPER: John F. Kennedy, a young senator from Massachusetts, facing off against Vice President Richard Nixon, who`s knows to be a fierce debater.
But on screen, Kennedy looks cool and calm, while Nixon looks uncomfortable, sweating profusely under the hot studio lights.
RICHARD NIXON: I think I better shave!
COOPER: Nixon flounders under the glare of television for all four debates. Kennedy goes on to win the election.
In 1976, President Gerald Ford makes this blunder in his debate with Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter.
GERALD FORD, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: There is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe and there never will be under a Ford administration.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I`m sorry, could I just .
COOPER: The remark becomes a central theme in Carter`s campaign, and is blamed by many for costing Ford the election.
In 1980, Ronald Reagan is repeatedly attacked by President Carter for his stance on healthcare.
JIMMY CARTER, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Governor Reagan as a matter of fact began his political career, campaigning around this nation against Medicare.
COOPER: But Reagan wins fans and the election by staying cool.
REAGAN: There you go again.
COOPER: Four years later, President Reagan again uses humor to handle attacks on his age during his debate with Walter Mondale.
REAGAN: I want you to know that also, I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I`m not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent`s youth and inexperience.
COOPER: During the 1988 vice presidential debate, Republican Senator Dan Quayle`s comparison to John F. Kennedy elicited this blistering response from his opponent.
SEN. LLOYD BENTSEN, D-TEXAS: Senator, you are no Jack Kennedy.
COOPER: Body language plays a part in the presidential debate. In 1992, George W.H. Bush deliberately looks at his watch, and he pays for it when the audience and voters see it as disrespectful.
GEORGE W. BUSH: There is differences .
COOPER: Body language makes a difference in a debate between Al Gore and George W. Bush as well. Gore sighs over and over again, and Bush, the underdog, surprises by winning the debate and, of course, the election.
Both President Obama and Governor Romney are seasoned debaters, and experts say neither are prone to making major gaffes. But if there is one thing that history has taught us, when it comes to presidential debates, expect the unexpected.
Anderson Cooper, CNN.
AZUZ: Authorities in Hong Kong are investigating a crash that happened on Monday evening. Passengers on two ferries were heading out to watch a fireworks display and celebrate China`s national day. But the night turned into chaos when the ferries collided. this one rolled before it partially sank. At least 38 people were killed in the crash. Rescuers who got to the scene and started helping out. They picked up more than 120 survivors on Monday night. They were still searching for others yesterday. A passenger on the ship that partially sank said it was standing straight up in the water, and that everything was sliding down. The other ferry was able to get back to a dock. Police have arrested seven crew members from the two ships on suspicion of endangering passengers.
Some major milestones on this day in history: in 1922, Rebecca Felton was appointed to fill an open seat in the U.S. Senate, making her the first female senator.
In 1974, Frank Robinson was hired as the manager of the Cleveland Indians. He was the first African-American manager in the major leagues.
And in 1990, a year after the Berlin Wall came down, East and West Germany reunited as one country. For many, it marked the beginning of the end of the Cold War.
Well, it probably didn`t happen on this exact date in history, but about four years ago, someone wrote a note, stuck it in a bottle and tossed it out into the Gulf of Mexico. A pair of students found it, and their science teacher figured the message in the bottle was a perfect opportunity to study current events. Kim Brown of affiliate WBBH fills in the details.
CARL MELAMET, TEACHER: Have any of you ever done anything like that? Put a message in the bottle?
KIM BROWN, WBBH CORRESPONDENT: Students in Carl Melamet`s science class just got a rare assignment: they are figuring out how a message in the bottle survived four years in the Gulf of Mexico.
MELAMET: And it`s been out in the ocean for four years.
BROWN: Weathering storms, sea creatures, even the oil spill.
CHE HALL, STUDENT: I think it`s pretty cool how it was after four years, that it just kept circulating around it, then finally came back to one spot.
BROWN: Two Canaberry (ph) School students participating in a coastal cleanup on Sanibel Island, discovered the bottle near Bauman`s (ph) beach last month.
MELAMET: When you discover something like that on the beach, it brings up a lot of questions.
BROWN: So many questions in fact, this message handwritten on a piece of notebook paper, is all the class has to go by.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Dear someone in the future .
BROWN: Written by a 12-year old girl vacationing on Sanibel in 2008.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I hope the future is very fun and exciting.
BROWN: Her wish granted.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Love, Bri.
BROWN: But the writer probably never imagined her message would turn into a lesson. Melamet is using it to help students understand currents and plastic pollution.
MELAMET: If the ocean hands me a bottle like this with a dated note in it, then, you know, you just take it and run with it.
BROWN: Some in the class find it odd that the bottle came back to the same area, but even Melamet himself doesn`t know how it stayed together or where it went.
MELAMET: It`s hard to say where she lost it, or where she tossed it out.
BROWN: But one thing is clear, it`s turned into a learning experience for all.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I think it`s helpful for the course to learn about great ocean news (ph).
BROWN: Bri may never know her message was found or the students she was able to reach.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Today`s "Shoutout" goes out to Miss Gruber`s class at Assumption Catholic School in Durand, Wisconsin.
What sport was originally called "mintonette"? Here we go, is it, volleyball, badminton, tennis or croquet? You`ve got three seconds, go!
Mintonette was invented at a YMCA at 1895, but it was renamed volleyball because of all the volleying done in the game. That`s your answer and that`s your "Shoutout."
AZUZ: Whatever you call it, Janson Daniel loves it. He`s hoping to get a college scholarship to play volleyball. But the thing is, Janson can`t play right now. His school in Yonkers, New York, doesn`t have a boys volleyball team. Last year the girls invited him to play, and everything seemed to go fine. But this year, he`s been benched by state officials. Based on how he did in a series of fitness tests, the state says Janson is too strong, that it would be unfair for him to play in the girls league. His teammates want Janson to stay on the squad, so do his school and school district. They filed an appeal to have this decision reconsidered. The state education department isn`t commenting on the case. For now, Janson is working out with his teammates, but is sitting on the sidelines during their games.
All right, we thought this story was a great opportunity to get your opinion. "Is having a guy on a girls` volleyball team an unfair advantage? Or should he be allowed to play if there is no guys` team? Two places you can tell us or blog at cnnstudentnews.com. It`s first names only on that. Or if you are already on Facebook, Facebook.com/cnnstudentnews.
High school football. Oakmont (ph) scores a touchdown as time runs out to get within one. So, they line up to kick the extra point, tie the game and go to overtime. Right? No. Check out this Youtube video. The holder stands up, turns around, and lobs it to the end zone. It`s a trick play, results in a two-point conversion, Oakmont wins, and totally goes nuts. Look at this! The team`s coach says they practice the play every week, and this might change the team`s strategy for the rest of the season. They get the chance to kick, they might just take a pass.
All right. It`s time for us to toss it back to your teachers, because the clock`s run out, and we`re getting sidelined. See you tomorrow on CNN STUDENT NEWS.

【"The Voice of China" becomes "the Ad of China"?】《中国好声音》成中国广告音？
TEXT:The hottest show this summer-"the Voice" just finished on Sunday at the Shanghai Stadium. But the show that had a good start, didn’t end to everyone’s satisfaction. The two and a half hour show dragged on for more than four hours because of the huge amount of advertising, which the audience and residents living nearby could hardly bare.
This summer, something hotter than the weather came to Shanghai. That is the Voice of China. The show soon became a cash cow for the organizer as the advertisement prices reached 1.16 million yuan for 15 seconds. And the show has earned more than 100 million yuan up to now in ad income only,But the organizers’ bliss was audiences’ melancholy.
In the final live show on Sunday, about 14 rounds of advertisements were aired, each of which came at a crucial result-announcing moment.Frequently interrupted by advertisements, some live audience members complained that the show wasn’t worth its ticket prices of 180 to 1680 yuan.
The planned two and a half hour show went two hours overtime because of the advertising. This annoyed audience members, and touched the nerves of residents living near the site.Someone called the police, and the show is now facing punishment for going over-time and disturbing residents late at night.
参考译文:今年夏天最火爆的节目《好声音》周日在上海体育场刚刚落下帷幕。虽然好声音有一个很好的开头，但结尾却不尽如人意。这场本该是2个半小时的决赛却因为广告的缘故拖拉至四个小时，观众以及附近的居民都难以忍受。
这个夏天，大红大紫的《中国好声音》来到了上海。节目中仅15秒的广告费用高达到116万元，使得这档节目迅速成为组织者的摇钱树。到目前为止，仅就广告费用，好声音的收入就超过1亿元。但组织者的幸福是建立在观众痛苦之上。
在周日最后的决赛中，大约播放了14轮广告，每一次都是快要宣布结果的重要时刻播出。经常性的被广告打断，有些住观众抱怨这场票价为180至1680元的演出不值。
这场计划两个半小时的表演因广告延长了两个小时，这惹恼了观众，触及了附近居民的神经。有人向警方报案，节目如今正因延迟以及深夜扰民面临惩罚。

【Using Art to Make Summer School More Interesting】
This is the VOA Special English Education Report.
这里是美国之音慢速英语教育报道。
June, July and August are vacation months for most American school children. But some young students pay a high price for that long summer break. They may forget much of what they learned over the past year by the time they start the next grade.
6月、7月和8月是大多数美国学生的假期时间，但有的学生为了这个夏日长假付出了高昂代价。等到下一年级开始时，他们可能会忘记上一年学的很多东西。
This problem is often called the summer learning gap. A growing effort across the country aims to deal with it by offering more interesting summer school programs. Some students already attend summer school, but often because they received poor grades during the regular school year.
这个问题通常被称作夏日学习间隔，美国正在通过提供更有趣的夏日学校项目来努力改善这个问题。有的学生已经进了夏日学校，但通常是因为在常规的学年没有得到好成绩才来的。
STUDENT: "People need food, clothes, and other goods …"
学生：“人们需要食物、衣物和其他物品......”
On a recent day, students read out loud about communities in a third-grade social studies class at Bushman Elementary in Dallas, Texas. But the nine- and ten-year-olds were also studying art. Visual arts instructor Ron Oliver works to combine the two subjects.
最近，在德克萨斯州达拉斯布希曼小学三年级的社会学课堂上，学生们大声读关于社区的知识。不过9年级和10年级学生也学艺术，视觉艺术导师努力将这两门学科结合起来。
RON OLIVER: "The kids that never get it -- like the thirty percent that always struggle on testing -- they thrive in this kind of atmosphere. Sometimes they just learn differently."
RON OLIVER：“这些孩子们从来都没及格过，大约30%的人总是很难通过考试，但他们在这样的氛围中学得很好，有时他们只是学习方法和别人不同而已。”
In addition to reading, the students expressed themselves in picture form by drawing community scenes.
除了阅读，学生们还通过画社区场景用图片来表达自己的想法。
BOY: "When I was drawing, I was expressing my feelings and showing what was happening."
男孩：“当我画画时，我是在表达自己的感受，描述正在发生的事。”
GIRL: "You only use the pictures, and you use it to tell the people, the pictures telling the words for you. You don’t need words."
女孩：“我们只用图片来告诉人们自己想说的话，不需要文字。”
Their teacher Gloria Pegram has taught elementary school for fifteen years. She says art helps with memory.
他们的老师Gloria Pegram教小学已经15年了，她说艺术可以提高记忆力。
GLORIA PEGRAM: "Even with math, we try to be creative with it -- it helps their retention. They remember. They say, 'Oh, yes, I remember this because ... ' and they’ll go into what we were doing, hands-on, whatever activity we were doing, to help them understand it better, and to retain it."
GLORIA PEGRAM：“甚至对于数学，我们也尝试用创造性的方法来学习，这样可以提高学生的记忆力，他们会记住的。他们会说，‘哦，我记住了，因为......’他们就会深入研究我们亲手做的任何东西，从而帮助他们更好的理解并记住。”
Ms. Pegram says students who do not take summer enrichment classes often need to relearn lessons when they return in the fall. This is especially true of low-income students. They are less likely, for example, to live near public libraries offering both books to read and special summer reading programs.
Pegram老师说，那些不参加暑假提高班的学生通常要在夏季开学后复习功课，这对低收入学生尤为如此。比如，他们不大可能住在能提供图书和夏季专门阅读项目的公共图书馆附近。
Ed Pauly is director of research and evaluation at the Wallace Foundation. The nonprofit group has invested fifty million dollars to study which programs work best to prevent summer learning loss.
Ed Pauly是华里斯基金会研究和评估主任，这家非盈利组织投资了5500万美元来研究哪些项目在预防夏季学习损失上最有效。
ED PAULY: "And for poor kids, the loss can be as much as three months of school learning that just disappears over the course of the summer. That’s a very significant part of the achievement gap that separates kids from low-income communities from kids from more affluent communities."
ED PAULY: “对于穷学生来说，这相当于他们在夏日课程上损失了3个月的学校学习。这样很显著的成绩差距将低收入社区孩子和更富裕社区的孩子分开。”
He says one promising approach has been to include art.
他说一个很有潜力的方法包括艺术。
ED PAULY: "We need kids to master reading and math. Arts gets them excited about being there every day. And the arts use reading and math. The arts are a great way to tie together learning experiences."
ED PAULY: “我们要让孩子们学习阅读和数学，艺术可以让他们天天都开心，艺术还使用了阅读和数学能力，在连接学习经验方面，艺术是很棒的方法。”
