CNN News:澳大利亚各种气候原因导致"超级大火"难扑灭
I'm Carl Azuz.
This is CNN STUDENT NEWS.
Today, we're starting with economics.
When people want to see how a country's economy is doing, they can study differentindicators.
The stock market or retail sales, for example.
Two other indicators are government reports that come out every month.
The national unemployment rate andthe number of jobs added or lost.
This month's report says that in September the economy added 148,000 jobs.
That's fewer than the previous month.
Also, the unemployment rate went down a little bit to 7.2 percent.
The numbers in these reports don't always match up, that's because the two numbers comefrom separate surveys, one asks businesses about hiring, the other asks individual householdsabout their employment status.
The same day that a government report came out, a CNN ORC poll came out.
According to that, 71 percent of Americans think that U.S. economy is in poor shape, 29percent say the current conditions are good.

Tell us, do you think the U.S. economy is getting better, getting worse or staying the same?
Earlier this week, we reported on wildfires burning in Australia.
Authorities expect today to be about as bad as it gets.
High temperatures, low humidity, strong winds.
When you're talking about wildfires, that's a forecast for disaster.
These fires stretched nearly 1,000 miles.
They've destroyed hundreds of homes.
A CNN reporter asked one victim about what she wished she could have saved.
My photos. Photos from the computer with -- on the computer or the laptop, whatever,wherever, I could have gotten from my photos. Yeah.
Photos of what?
A honeymoon, wedding, my wedding album, photos of me as a baby, Jake as a baby.
We don't have a record of any photos to show to my children, of, you know, me growing up.
More than 1,000 emergency crews are on the ground.
Officials are bringing in 1500 more firefighters to help.
It's time for the "Shoutout."
What is this?
If you think you know it, then shout it out.
Is it a blobfish, dragonfish, lionfish or tigerfish?
You've got three seconds, go!
This is a lionfish. It's native to the South Pacific.
But the species has been found in other parts of the world, too.
That's your answer and that's your "Shoutout."
They may sound funny, but lionfish are not joke.
The spines on their fins are filled with venom.
They eat anything, they have no natural predators.
In the Pacific where there are native species, other fish know to steer clear of them.
But in the Atlantic, where lionfish are an invasive species, it's a whole different story.
