  Beginning in March, the fish start the arduous journey 800 kilometers upriver from the Pacific Ocean.
These Spring Chinook salmon are heading for the Wanatchee River and Icicle Creek, in the shadow of the majestic Cascade Mountains.
Salmon once thrived here, but over the years dams, overfishing and habitat destruction have diminished their numbers.

So 60 years ago, the U.S. government established a hatchery to give them some human help. Workers collect more than 1.5 million salmon eggs and raise the fish in tanks for 16 months. The young salmon are then released and head for the ocean. Guided by their sense of smell, they will return in a few years to spawn.

Al Jensen is manager of the Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery. "One unique characteristic of salmon is they will come back to the same natal stream or area where they were born and raised. So the salmon that return here are fish that were released from here."

Each year in September, a community festival celebrates the return of the salmon.

Pacific Northwestern Native American tribes join the celebration.

 

spawn n.(鱼等的)卵, (植物)菌丝, 产物 v.产卵

arduous .费劲的, 辛勤的, 险峻的

thrive v.兴旺, 繁荣, 茁壮成长, 旺盛

natal adj.出生的, 诞生的

She said this boy came from the same neighborhood as the Casablanca suicide bombers, but that perhaps now, the youth had a reason to live rather than a reason to die.

 

Hughes says she hopes these kinds of programs will provide stability and opportunity for young people all over the world. She says the budget for these initiatives has gone up in her two years as Under Secretary of State but she would like to have even more funding for more work.

 

"These kind of programs ought to be a national security priority because I really believe that winning over populations and winning over the ideological struggle is as important as the military side."

 

Hughes, a close friend of the president has once served as President Bush's White House counselor during his presidency from 2001 to 2002. The president asked her to come back in 2005, after he was reelected for second term, to serve in her current position.

Hughes says she is trying to change the minds of those who dislike the United States, one person at a time if need be.

The World Heart Federation says heart disease and stroke are commonly believed to be diseases of the wealthy. But studies show 80 percent of all deaths from these chronic illnesses occur in low and middle-income countries. The Federation's Chief Executive Officer, Janet Voute, says cardiovascular diseases are on the increase across the African continent. Much of this, she says, is due to increased urbanization. "When people move from rural to urban, there are major changes in their life, such as a decrease in physical activity, a change in dietary patterns, and increase in fast food and a decrease in fruit and vegetable consumption, for example, there is also an uptake of unhealthy habits such as smoking. So, a lot of society's trends are going in the wrong direction. " Voute says obesity is another major risk factor. She says Africa bears a double burden of malnutrition, that of underweight children and of overweight adults. She says it is important to focus on improving lifestyles within an African specific context to get the message across that overweight and obesity can lead to life-threatening conditions.

她说我们需要将注意力放在如何在非洲特定的背景下改善他们的生活方式，并且告诉他们肥胖会导致致命的后果。

"It's a small group of people who come to work everyday with the mindset of, how can I advance the ideological struggle against extremism and terrorism across the world today."

Hughes says communications, cultural exchange programs, and improving the lives of others through health, education and economic incentives can help to counter terrorism. She says reaching out to young audiences in other countries is the main target of this project.

Hughes recently launched another program aimed at young people, ages eight to 14, in 13, mostly Islamic, countries.

Speaking to members of the foreign press in New York recently, Hughes said that the Youth Enrichment Programs, or YEP, offer sports, music, art and English classes to over six thousand youngsters, including in the West Bank and Gaza.

"We try to focus these programs in areas of disadvantaged youth that are both vulnerable to radical recruitment but also where they don't typically have these kind of opportunities."

Hughes recalled a boy she met during a recent visit to an English class in Morocco. The youth told her that he had found work, thanks to his ability to speak English.

休斯说：“反恐中心的成员们每天都带着想方设法加强反极端主义、恐怖主义在意识形态领域的斗争的态度上班。”休斯表示，沟通、文化交流项目、通过健康、教育以及经济激励来改善他人生活质量等方式都有助于打击恐怖主义。她表示，与其他国家的青少年观众接触是该项目的主要任务。休斯最近发起了另一个面向多数为伊斯兰国家的 13 国中 8 到 14 岁青少年的项目。在最近与纽约和外国媒体成员交流时，休斯表示青少年充实项目（ YEP ）向超过 6000 位青少年提供体育、音乐、艺术以及英语课程，其中包括西岸和加沙地区。她说：“我们想让这些项目聚焦饱受大批招聘之苦且经常缺乏就业机会的弱势青少年群体。”休斯回忆起她在摩洛哥观摩英语课时遇到的一个男孩。他告诉休斯，多亏了他能说英语，他已经找到工作了。

U. S. military officials say that will not happen until next July, at the earliest. While the timing has changed, Mr. Bush says his determination has not. "The goals are the same, and have we achieved them as fast? No, we haven't. But, however, having not achieved them doesn't mean we ought to quit. " President Bush meets with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki following his General Assembly speech. He will take part in a roundtable on democracy before attending a Security Council meeting on Africa that is expected to focus on a joint U. N. -African Union peacekeeping force for Darfur. While in New York, White House officials say, there are no plans for President Bush to meet with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who Mr. Bush says is secretly developing nuclear weapons. Iran says its nuclear program is meant only to generate electricity. Mr. Bush again told White House reporters he never rules out the possible use of force against Iran, but believes it is still possible to resolve the dispute diplomatically.

美国军方官员表示，最快要到明年七月才有可能撤军。布什说，尽管时间进行了调整，但他并未改变决定。他说：“我们的目标没变，但这个目标很快实现了么？不，没有。不过，没实现目标不意味着我们应该撤退。” 布什总统在联合国大会讲话后与伊拉克总理马利基会面。在参加联合国安理会的非洲会议之前，他要参加一个民主圆桌会议。这次联合国会议旨在研究联合国－非洲联盟派往达尔福尔的维和部队问题。与此同时，白宫官员在纽约称布什总统没有与艾哈迈迪·内贾德会面的计划，因为布什认为他们正在秘密研究核武器。而伊朗方面称其核项目仅用于发电。 布什再次向白宫记者声明，他从未排除对伊朗动武的可能性，但他相信仍然可以通过外交手段解决伊朗核争端。

The Los Angeles Police Museum is housed in an old station house, and it tells the story of a lawless western town that slowly developed into a modern city. Los Angeles got its first paid police force in 1869, and part of the department's early history is shown in an exhibit of handcuffs, locks and other restraints. Glynn Martin, executive director of the Los Angeles Police Historical Society, points to three exhibit cases, opposite a row of empty jail cells. "Some great stuff, and it dates back well into the 1800s at the start of handcuffs, we've got things like balls and chains. And we've got foreign and domestic handcuffs, and different types of restraints used throughout more than a century of the history of handcuffs. " Martin, a retired LAPD watch commander, points to a police radio from the 1950s, and a modern vehicle-mounted computer. Further on are the lights from a police patrol car and, upstairs, old uniforms. One from the 1890s features a helmet like those still worn by some British police patrolmen. 
洛杉矶警察博物馆由一座老派出所改建而成，讲述了洛杉矶从一个没有法度的西部小城逐步发展成为一个现代化都市的进程。
洛杉矶在1869年拥有了第一支雇用警察部队，而这支部队的早年历史有一部分就是由手铐、枷锁以及其它拘禁用具的展览所展示的。GM是洛杉矶警察历史学会的执行理事，他指着位于一排空监房对面的三个展示柜说道：
“这是些很棒的东西。它们的历史可以追溯到19世纪初手铐刚开始使用的时候，那时我们用的是铁球和铁链。我们还有外国和国内制造的手铐，以及不同类型的拘禁用具，这些器具的使用在手铐的历史中延续了一个世纪还多。”
M还是一位退休的洛杉矶警署巡警，他向记者展示了一部20世纪50年代使用的警用电台，还有一部先进的车载电脑系统。之后，他还展示了警察巡逻车所发出的灯光，以及位于楼上的旧式制服。其中一套还带有钢盔，就像一些英国巡警现在仍在佩戴的那种一样。

President Bush says many people are frustrated by the slow pace of political progress in Iraq, and he understands that. But he is rejecting criticism from the Democratic chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Carl Levin, who says Iraq's parliament should remove the Maliki government because it has "totally and utterly failed. " "Prime Minister Maliki is a good guy, a good man, with a difficult job. And I support him. And it is not up to the politicians in Washington, D. C. to say whether he will remain in his position. That is up to the Iraqi people who now live in a democracy and not a dictatorship. " Following a visit to Iraq this week, Senator Levin said the Maliki government cannot achieve a political settlement because it is too bound by its own sectarian prejudices. Speaking Wednesday, at the close of a three-day visit to Syria, Prime Minister Maliki told reporters that no one has the authority to impose a timetable on the Iraqi government as its power emanates from the Iraqi people and only they can decide its fate. He accused U. S. politicians of making irresponsible statements and criticisms that he said lacked courtesy.
