3、presentation yesterday where fuel rods were loaded into the core of a nuclear reactor. These are the first nuclear fuel rods made inside Iran, so this is a big advancement for the countrys nuclear program.The United Nations and European Union have put sanctions - penalties - on Iran in part because

5、ing a deadly fire at one of the countrys prisons. It happened overnight on Tuesday, and as of Wednesday afternoon, at least 272 inmates had died. The fate of more than 100 others was unknown.This was a minimum security prison that can hold around 850 prisoners. More than half of the facility was aff
6、ected by the fire. One survivor said he and other prisoners were asleep when they heard screams.He said everyone ran for their lives. Authorities dont know how the fire started. Theyre looking into whether a short circuit might have sparked it, or whether a prisoner might have set a mattress on fire
7、.All right. Lets say youre Chinas vice president and youre visiting the United States. Where do you want to go? Muscatine, Iowa, is where. Chinese Vice President Xi insisted on a stop in the town yesterday. Its because he spent two weeks in Muscatine back in 1985, and he wanted to visit with his old
8、 friends.Ted Rowlands has more on Vice President Xi and what his leadership could mean for the relationship between U.S. and China.Iowa Governor Terry Branstad was serving his first stint as governor when Xi came in 85.

10、eration of leaders. Former Ambassador to China Jon Huntsman believes Xi could be good for American business.Hes gone out of his way in recent years to bone up on economics and trade, knowing full well that these are the issues that are going to determine whether or not the United States and China ar
11、e able to get through the years to come.China has been blamed for the loss of thousands of American jobs, some of them here. But China buys soybeans, pork, farm machinery and other products from Iowa. In fact, from 2000 to 2010, the state enjoyed a 1,200 percent increase in exports to China.Governor
12、 Branstad wants to expand that relationship and thinks Xi will help.Personal relationships are really important to the Chinese people. Having this kind of relationship with the next leader of China, I think, is very helpful to the state of Iowa.People here are exciting, including the Maeglins, who s
13、ay they are honored that the man standing in their kitchen 27 years ago wants to come back.Just for a little time, time spend an hour, hour and a half, in the room with, as he says, his old friends. Thats significant. Thats significant if he werent the president.嘿,快乐的星期四。我是主持人卡尔?阿祖兹。这里是CNN学生新闻。而这是您的
14、护照,即将为您带来10分钟的全球热点新闻。今天我们将花时间在北部,中部和南部,但我们首先在中东地区开始。伊朗这个国家在进行的有争议的核项目。伊朗表示,项目的初衷是为了和平用途,但其他国家,包括美国在内,认为伊朗是在试图创造核武器。我们知道一件事,肯定的是,这一计划正在向前推进。在您屏幕中间的就是伊朗总统默罕默德?艾哈迈迪?内贾德。他出现在昨天的核燃料棒装填到核反应堆核心的现场中。这是首次在伊朗境内制作的核子燃料棒,所以这对该国的核项目而言是一次进步。联合国和欧盟已经对伊朗采取了制裁及惩罚，部分是由于它的核项目。这些制裁已经影响伊朗的经济和它的国民。伊朗总统默罕默德?艾哈迈迪?内贾德昨天回应了最
15、新的制裁。他表示伊朗将截断对六个欧洲国家的石油出口。我们接下来来到美国中央的洪都拉斯,那里的官员正在调查一座监狱内的一场致命大火。它发生在星期二夜间,一直持续到星期三下午,至少有272名囚犯死亡。超过100人的命运尚不得而知。这是一座能容纳约850名囚犯的最低限度设防监狱。超过一半的设施受火灾影响。一位幸存者说,他和其他囚犯睡着的时候听到尖叫声。他说每个人都在逃命。当局不知道起火原因。他们正在研究是否由短路引起,或是一名囚犯的床垫着火。好的。让我们假设你是中国的副总统，而你正在访问美国。你最想去的地方是哪里呢?爱荷华州的马斯卡廷,就是那里。中国国家副主席习昨天坚持停留在这个城镇。正是因为他早在很早以前年花了两周时间在这里,他故地重游想要去拜访他的老朋友。当习在85年来爱荷华州时候，州长特里布兰斯塔德就是这里的第一任州长。两人曾经去年秋天在北京见面,布表示老朋友说想要回来。他对这温暖和友好的欢迎表示高兴,他真的认为爱荷华就是他的老朋友。- 3 -用心 爱心 专心
