TEXT:In North Korea, thousands of children were on their feet and clapping as they welcomed leader Kim Jong-Un to a concert. There were flowers. All wore the communist youth uniform of a white shirt and red scarf and bestowed Kim with one. The festivities in Pyongyang took place as a U.S. based advocacy group accused the reclusive state of using a caste system to rank citizens based on their political backgrounds. The Committee for Human Rights in North Korea report also accused the government of using punishing those deemed disloyal to the leadership. Earlier in the week, North Korea threatened to attack South Korea's media outlets for suggesting Kim was using the children's event as propoganda to cement his leadership. Two hundred thousand children were transported from across the country to the capital for the 66th anniversary of the Korean Children's Union. Deborah Gembara, Reuters.

2【Italy police arrest man over school bomb】意大利警方逮捕学校炸弹袭击者
TEXT:The aftermath of last month's bombing in front of a school in southern Italy. Sixteen year old Melissa Bassi was killed and 10 others wounded in the attack on this vocational training institute in Brindisi. The attack horrified the country and sparked speculation that it was the work of organised crime gangs. However, Italian media reported on Thursday that a 68-year-old man has been taken into custody for the bombing amid news of a possible confession. The man, whose motive has been described as a personal vendetta, is reportedly married with two children. Hundreds, including Italian prime minister Mario Monti, attended the funeral of Melissa Bassi two days after the attack. Sunita Rappai Reuters

3【World's tallest man stops growing】世界上最高的人不再长高了
TEXT:Sultan Kosen, the world's tallest man since 2009, has grown another two inches in the past three years. Today he stands 8-foot-3-inches tall or 2 metres and 51 centimeters. But the 29-year-old Turk has received good news: after multiple surgeries he has finally stopped growing. Kosen's continuous growth was caused by a brain tumor producing growth hormones. It made him reach his father's height at the age of seven, and forced him to spend his childhood in solitude. He shared his story during an event held by Guinness World Records in Hong Kong. SOUNDBITE: World's Tallest Man, Sultan Kosen, saying (Turkish) "I couldn't get out of my room. My family had financial difficulties so I couldn't receive treatment. I was secretly crying in my room. I needed to burst out. It restricted my life. But ever since I have been certified by the Guinness World Records, my life has begun anew. I am very happy." Naturally Kosen's hands are bigger than anyone else's too, but so is his heart. The big friendly giant says that life is too short not to enjoy. And for the first time in his life, he has found love, and has somebody to share it with. Elly Park, Reuters.
参考译文:苏坦科森，这个世界上最高的人自2009年以来，又长了两英寸。今天他的身高是8尺3寸，即2米51。这位29岁的土耳其人终于迎来了好消息：在经过多次手术后终于停止了长高。科森的持续长高，是由于脑部肿瘤产生的生长激素。这让他在7岁的时候就和他父亲一样高，这使得他的童年时期很孤独。在一次香港举办的吉尼斯世界纪录节目中，他分享了自己的故事。苏坦科森说：“我只能呆在家里，我的家庭条件并不好，所以我不能接受治疗。我经常在房间里偷偷哭泣。我需要大声哭出来。它限制了我的生活。但自从被吉尼斯世界纪录认证以来，我的生活开始焕然一新。我很高兴。”苏坦科森不仅手比别人的大，心脏也同样比别人大。这位友好的高个巨人说，享受生命永不太晚。第一次，他的生活有了爱，有了和他分享这一切的人。
4【Artist propels dead cat to new heights】死猫不能飞翔？艺术家说了算!
TEXT:Dead cats can't fly … can they? Meet Orvillecopter, a feline flying machine created by Dutch artist Bart Jansen. SOUNDBITE: Artist Bart Jansen, saying (English): "Orville was my cat, he got run over by a car about half a year ago, we were very sad and we mourned for a couple of days, and then I thought to make a tribute to his name and honour him by making him fly, just as Orville Wright did before him." A quick check under the hood, a fresh battery … and it's time for Orvillecopter to soar. The squeamish will be pleased to know the deceased pet has been cleaned and disinfected. And if you think a catcopter's for the birds, then you probably won't want to fork out twelve thousand euros to own it. Tara Cleary, Reuters.
参考译文:死猫不能飞…真的不能吗? 由荷兰画家巴特·詹森研发的猫科飞行机Meet Orvillecopter (确让这事成为了现实）。Jansen说：“Orville是我养的一只猫，大约在一年半前被车给碾死了。我们都很伤心，悼念了好几天，随后为了表达对它的纪念和敬意，就打算让它能够飞起来。就好像Orville生前所做的一样。”快速检查盖下的引擎，电池…现在Orvillecopter开始起飞了。当你知道这只死去的宠物已经被清洁和消毒，你就不会感到那么恶心了。如果你认为这样一只"飞天猫"毫无意义，那你可能不会愿意为它支付一万二千欧元。
