NPR邊聽邊練17:請(qǐng)給電池多點(diǎn)能量！

【NPR邊聽邊練】致力于提供新鮮有趣、饒有意味的時(shí)訊資料，致力于通過精聽的方式促進(jìn)聽力提高，致力于不斷開闊眼界和深入了解美國(guó)觀點(diǎn)。

精聽建議：

先完整地把一條新聞聽一到三遍，爭(zhēng)取掌握大意。然后，一句一句精聽，力爭(zhēng)每句話都聽明白。遇到實(shí)在不懂的地方，再聽寫。

下面的文本材料中空缺部分里面要填的詞都很簡(jiǎn)單，不過是一些值得注意的連讀或者典型的美式發(fā)音哦，有些語速比較快。試試看，你能不能全部寫對(duì)?

(參考文本，歡迎指出錯(cuò)誤^^)
