  6月23日CNN聽力:美公法老王備戰三冠王 或將發明汗青佳績



  Today's roll call starts in the East Coast and worksits way West to Paris. West?

  Well,we're first going to recognize Bethel MiddleSchool.

  It's in Bethel,Connecticut,and it's the home of theTigers.

  Now,west to Paris,Kentucky. That's where theColonels are in command.

  Hello,Bourbon County High School.

  And farther out west,in the Cowboy State of Wyoming,we've got the Jaguars with us today.

  Rock Springs Junior High is in Rock Springs.

  Horse racing enthusiasts and historians are keeping an eye on American Pharoah.

  That's the name of a horse.

  He won two very big races recently,the Kentucky Derby on May 2nd and the Preakness Stakeson Saturday.

  Both of those races,plus the Belmont Stakes,equal the Triple Crown.

  Every year,people watch to see if a horse can win all three races.

  No horse has done that since 1978,when an animal named Affirmed ran into Triple Crownhistory.

  Will American Pharoah be the first in 37 years?

  We'll know on June 6th when he runs in the Belmont,the longest of the three classic races.

  The curtains are closed around the Beluga exhibit at the Georgia Aquarium. Why?

  So a new mother and her calf can bond in privacy.

  Beluga births in captivity are rare.

  The aquarium says the early stages of life are delicate.

  So,though the two are off display to the public,they're being monitored 24/7 by veterinarystaff.

  The baby was born on May 10th,59 inches long and 126 pounds.

  Remember,it's a whale,so that's all right.

  It doesn't have a name yet and the fact that it was born on Mother's Day is a total fluke.

  But if you're looking for a whaley cute video that makes for a whale of tale to tell you,Belu-got-it.

  I'm Carl Azuz of CNN STUDENT NEWS. Guys,we're back in tomorrow.
