NPR邊聽(tīng)邊練42:挑戰(zhàn)司法部,Google拒絕提供客戶(hù)信息

【NPR邊聽(tīng)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(guò)精聽(tīng)的方式促進(jìn)聽(tīng)力提高，致力于不斷開(kāi)闊眼界和深入了解美國(guó)觀點(diǎn)。

精聽(tīng)建議：

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

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(guò)是一些值得注意的連讀或者典型的美式發(fā)音哦，有些語(yǔ)速比較快。試試看，你能不能全部寫(xiě)對(duì)?

(參考文本，歡迎指出錯(cuò)誤^^)
