Hey, hey. Hope you're having a wonderful day wherever you are in this world. I'm Ky Wire. This is CNN 10. Happy Friday Eve. I have a lot of interesting stories for you this Thursday, March 26th. But first, some breaking news. Yesterday, a California jury found Meta and YouTube liable on all counts in a case that accused the social media companies of creating an intentionally addictive product. The case centers around a now 20-year-old woman named Kaye and her mother who sued Meta, Google's YouTube, Snap, and Tik Tok, accusing them of intentionally luring her to the platforms as a young teen, saying that caused her to develop mental health problems. This is a landmark case that could set the precedent for a myriad of other lawsuits, but it will also likely change the way young people are able to access and participate in social media going forward. Tomorrow, we will bring you more on the reaction to the verdict and its potential ramifications. To Iran now, where the war with the US and Israel is having major ripple effects on things like businesses and schools, having people stay home in order to save electricity, gas, etc. The ongoing conflict has effectively closed the straight of Hormuz, the key shipping lane through which nearly 20% of the world's daily oil shipments typically pass. Iran previously vowed to attack any vessels that attempted to traverse it, leaving hundreds of ships stranded on both sides of the straight. Earlier this week, however, officials signaled the country was in talks to allow certain vessels to pass safely through the straight. Again, I have to clarify that other states that has nothing to do with this act of aggression against Iran can pass through the straight of Hormos after necessary coordination with Iranians authorities.

As of this taping, it appears a handful of ships have made the trip through the straight. That's according to tracking data CNN has yet to independently verify. But even if shipping partially resumes, the prolonged closure has already wre havoc on global supply chains. Asia, which consumes 80% of the oil that crosses through the strait, has been hit particularly hard. Our Christyl Stout has more on how countries across the region are dealing with this unprecedented crisis.

The Philippines has become the first country in the world to declare a state of national energy emergency thanks to a war thousands of miles away. Long lines snake out of Manila's gas stations, and soaring fuel prices have left some of Manila's Jeep drivers uncertain how long they can stay on the road.
2:25.04 – 2:46.92 (21.9s)

What's left for us is very little.
2:51.44 – 2:52.88 (1.4s)

It's all down to the US and Israel's war with Iran, which has closed the Straight of Hormuz to all but a handful of ships.
2:53.68 – 3:01.12 (7.4s)

Asia is especially vulnerable to the supply shocks that's caused. It consumes more than 80% of the oil that crosses the street.
3:01.92 – 3:09.68 (7.8s)

In South Korea, the president has called for a 12point countrywide energy saving campaign. People are being asked to take shorter showers, charge their phones during the day rather than overnight, and only use their washing machines and vacuum cleaners at weekends.
3:10.48 – 3:26.88 (16.4s)
9
Fuel shortages have also caused some of Asia's flagship carriers to consider suspending flights while India's textile industry has been impacted. India imports around half of its oil from the Middle East and shortages have started to cause some factories to close or use carbon fuels and some residents to abandon their kitchens.

The cost of gas is so high we are cooking on this open air stove. This woman tells us she is far from alone.
3:50.08 – 3:57.84 (7.8s)

People are queuing to fill gas cylinders and fuel tanks across Asia. From Catmandu, Nepal to Columbbo in Sri Lanka where authorities have declared every Wednesday a public holiday for government institutions including schools but exempting hospitals to manage energy resources.

Pop quiz hot shot. What is the most widely grown crop in the US by acreage?
4:19.84 – 4:23.60 (3.8s)
13
Wheat, corn, soybeans, or potatoes?
4:24.40 – 4:29.48 (5.1s)
14
If you said corn, you're amazing. While Iowa produces more corn than any other state, California produces the most fruits and veggies overall, including spinach, broccoli, lettuce, and almonds.

Years ago, pesticides exploded in popularity among farmers. A simple chemical application saved crops from insects, rodents, fungi, and in turn revolutionized the way agricultural industries prevent food waste and save money. Well, research over the last 20 years proves many of these chemicals can be harmful to our health. So, organic produce options started to really grow on some consumers as a result. But pesticides are so pervasive in the US food supply, it can be difficult to avoid them. And organic foods might make your grocery bill feel a little hard to swallow. Enter the Dirty Dozen, an annual report that specifies exactly which fruits and veggies retain the most pesticides, even after washing. CNN's medical correspondent Meg Terrell tells us which ones made the list. The new study found that about 3/4 of non-organic produce still had pesticide residues even after washing. We learned three key facts to keep in mind. Some fruits and vegetables carry more pesticides than others.
4:46.40 – 5:48.40 (62.0s)
16
Strawberries have sort of been at the top of the list for a little while.
5:49.20 – 5:51.68 (2.5s)
17
That list comes from the Environmental Working Group, which each year uses data from the US Department of Agriculture to figure out which non-organic fresh fruits and veggies have the most pesticide residue left after a quick wash. A lot of these are very tender fruits and vegetables that don't have a hard casing that you might um peel. And they also are very close to the ground or in other ways need a lot of pesticides in order to be grown properly.
5:52.48 – 6:19.12 (26.6s)
18
I'd love to buy my kids all organic, but that's expensive. So, there is a more affordable way to think about it.
6:19.92 – 6:25.76 (5.8s)
19
First, consider what your family enjoys eating. Then, compare that to fruits and vegetables that are high in pesticides.

20
you might want to choose organic for just those.
6:34.32 – 6:35.76 (1.4s)
21
The EWG also lists the produce with the least pesticide residue.
6:36.56 – 6:39.92 (3.4s)
22
Looking at the Clean 15, which have nearly 60% of samples with no detectable residues, is a way for consumers to balance that. You know, getting a lot of fruits and vegetables in their diet without compromising on pesticide exposure. No matter what, wash, wash, wash. It doesn't get rid of all the residue, but it helps if you do it right. EWG's Alexis Tempmpkin says special washes have not been shown to help. And even if you got something with a peel, you should still wash it.

Now to some intriguing news from Major League Baseball. Yesterday was opening day, and the Giants and Yankees played in the first ever regular season game with the new automatic ball strike system, aka the Robo Ump. Batters, pitchers, and catchers are allowed to challenge a pitch if they think it was called incorrectly by tapping their head. And tech support is called in to help them make the call. Our Hannah Kaiser gives us an inside look at this striking new tech.
7:07.84 – 7:33.60 (25.8s)
24
It's baseball's opening day and robo have arrived. Let me explain. After years of extensive testing in the lower levels, she wants to challenge. Major League Baseball is set to debut the automated ball strike system in real regular season big league games.
7:34.40 – 7:49.04 (14.6s)
25
Oh, but he got clipped.
7:49.84 – 7:50.34 (0.5s)
26
But we're not going full robot takeover.
7:51.12 – 7:53.12 (2.0s)
27
Human umpires will still call like normal.

Matteo caught looking. He wants to challenge him.
7:56.08 – 7:57.28 (1.2s)
29
But this year, if a player disagrees with a call, they can do more than just gripe about it. The batter, pitcher, and catcher can all challenge calls by tapping their head or helmet, but they'll have to do so pretty much instantly and without getting any input from coaches or anybody else in the dugout. Challenge calls will be referred to technology that tracks the path of the ball relative to a two-dimensional strike zone over the center of home plate.
7:58.08 – 8:19.52 (21.4s)
30
Challenge twice and he's been incorrect twice. It's kind of like those Kzone boxes you've seen on broadcasts at home, but critically way more precise and customized to the exact height of each individual batter. Teams start games with two challenges a piece.
8:20.32 – 8:34.96 (14.6s)
31
Well, let's see. This is where the drama begins.
8:35.76 – 8:37.04 (1.3s)
32
And if the challenge is correct and the call is overturned, they'll retain those challenges.
8:37.84 – 8:41.84 (4.0s)
33
Nicely done.
8:42.64 – 8:43.44 (0.8s)
34
If the umpire's call is upheld, they'll lose the challenges.
8:44.24 – 8:46.16 (1.9s)
35
Minnesota has one challenge remaining.
8:46.96 – 8:48.16 (1.2s)
36
I'd be a little embarrassed.
8:48.96 – 8:50.40 (1.4s)
37
Because of the extensive testing of this system, we already know a little bit about how some things will play out. For instance, teams are likely to unofficially ban pitchers from challenging any call because, as it turns out, it's hard to be impartial about a pitch you throw.
8:51.20 – 9:04.40 (13.2s)
38
Catchers are better than batters at challenging. And on the whole, players were correct with their challenge calls about 52% of the time. The challenge just to make sure that the most important calls are correct and without totally giving the game over to robots.
9:05.20 – 9:19.44 (14.2s)
39
He still doesn't believe it.
9:20.24 – 9:24.28 (4.0s)

What's your name?
9:37.20 – 9:38.16 (1.0s)
42
You like playing cards? Oh yeah, I like at an assisted living community in Long Island, members of the Glamour Gals Club offer manicures, games, and most importantly, connection.
9:38.96 – 9:49.92 (11.0s)
43
Making people happy is just something so important in life.
9:50.72 – 9:52.96 (2.2s)
44
The group is part of a nationwide program focused on bridging generations, one conversation at a time.
9:53.76 – 9:59.36 (5.6s)
45
The fresh young faces keep us young.
10:00.16 – 10:01.92 (1.8s)
46
I truly enjoy this.
10:02.72 – 10:03.68 (1.0s)
47
A day off from school, but still a lesson learned. That kindness never goes out of style. These folks really nailed it. I have a shout out today going to Mr. Emerson and our friends at Otto Peterson School in Scapus, Oregon. Thank you for making us a part of your day.
10:04.48 – 10:20.16 (15.7s)

Rise up. And I want to give a shout out to someone I met at the Winter Olympics.
10:20.96 – 10:24.48 (3.5s)

本视频练习技巧
这段视频是新闻播报的典型范例，语速适中偏快，发音清晰标准，非常适合进行英语口语练习和发音练习。主播和记者的口音是标准美式英语，对希望提升雅思口语分数或日常交流英语流利度的学习者极具价值。
- 跟读技巧： 首先，完整观看视频了解大意。然后，选择“肮脏一打”部分（约从视频2:30开始）进行精听，尝试逐句跟读模仿。注意主播在讲述新闻事件时的连读、重音和语调变化。特别是像“impacted your favorite fruits & veggies”这样的短语，练习自然地连接发音。
- 语速与节奏： 视频整体语速较快，挑战学习者捕捉关键信息和快速反应的能力。您可以先放慢速度进行跟读练习，待熟悉后逐步恢复原速，以训练听力和口语的同步性。
- 话题难度： 视频内容涵盖社会新闻、经济、科学健康等多个领域，词汇量和信息密度较高。重点关注“农药”和“能源危机”相关的专业词汇，例如“pesticides”、“organic produce”、“supply chains”、“energy emergency”等。尝试用自己的话复述视频中的主要观点，这将极大提升您的总结和表达能力，对雅思口语Part 3这类话题讨论非常有帮助。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
如何在ShadowingEnglish上有效练习
- 选择您的视频： 挑选一段语音清晰、自然的YouTube视频。TED演讲，BBC新闻，电影片段，播客或雅思口语范例都很好。将URL粘贴到搜索栏中。从较短的视频（短于5分钟）以及您真正感兴趣的内容开始——兴趣是最重要的导师。
- 先听，理解上下文： 第一次听的时候，将速度保持在1倍速并仅仅倾听。还不要尝试重复。专注于理解其含义，收集新词汇，并注意讲话人如何强调单词，连读声音及使用停顿。
- 设置跟读模式：
- 等待模式：选择
+3s或+5s——在每句话播放完毕后，视频会自动暂停以便您有时间大声重复它。如果您想完全控制并在每次重复后由您自己点击下一步，请选择手动。 - 字幕同步：YouTube字幕有时会在音频前或后略微出现。使用
±100ms使它们完美对齐以助您准确跟读。
- 等待模式：选择
- 大声跟读（核心练习）： 这是真正发生改变的一步。当一个句子播放出来立刻——或在暂停期间——大声、清晰且自信地重复出来。千万不要只是张张嘴：要模仿说话者的准确节奏、重音、音高和连读。力求听上去就像说话者的影子，而不仅是逐字背诵。使用重复功能多次练习同一个句子，直到感觉自然为止。
- 提高难度： 当练习段落变得相对舒适后，就去挑战自我。将速度增加至 <code>1.25x</code> 或甚至 <code>1.5x</code> 以训练高速语言反射。或者将等待模式调整为 <code>关闭</code> 以进行连续跟读——这是最进阶同样收益最大的模式。持续的每日15–30分钟的练习将可以在几周内产生可见的效果。
