Kicking off CNN STUDENT NEWS on this Friday, May 23, I'm Carl Azuz at the CNN Center. Welcome to the show. First up today, an attack in China. It happened in a market in Xinjiang. This is a region of Northwest China. It's a place that's seen the series of attacks recently.

This one involved a number of explosions, Chinese news media say two SUVs crashed into the market on Thursday morning. Explosives were thrown out of the vehicles, which eventually exploded themselves. At least 31 people were killed, more than 90 were wounded, China called this a serious act of terrorism and President Xi Jinping said the people responsible would be severely punished. It's not clear yet who that is, but China has blamed some previous attacks in this region on Islamic separatist group that lives there.

We are less than two weeks away from the official start of the Atlantic Hurricane season. These storms can form at any time, but they are most likely to spin up between June 1 and November 30. Predicting them is like predicting the weather. It's not an exact science.

This is what Superstorm Sandy looked like as it approached the North Eastern U.S. in 2012. It made landfall there late in that season. On October, 29. 2012 was very active for Atlantic storms. There were almost twice as many of them as experts predicted. This time around, NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecast things to be relatively quiet, but ..

The news is that there will be hurricanes. And I can't tell you where it's going to hit or how many will hit, but the number is three to six. Three to six hurricanes in the water, in the Atlantic. The average is 6.4. Last year we had two. So, major hurricanes wandered to-you should have two to seven, last year zero.

Let's go back to 2012. This number was 19, 10 and one. That's the real number-one, what was that number one? Sandy. So, you only technically need one storm to make a big season, and there will be at least one.

Near normal, 40 percent chance, below normal, 50 percent chance, above normal about ten percent chance of that.

So there is where the number has come from, it doesn't matter whether we get one or a dozen, it matters which one hits land and what land it hits.

Time for the "Shoutout." Which of these is typically a foodborne illness? If you think you know it, shout it out! Is it Mersa, Ebola, E. coli or Influenza? You've got three seconds, go!

E. coli is a type of bacteria found in the stomach and intestines. It can be dangerous when it enters the food supply. That's your answer and that's your shoutout.
