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

精聽建議：
先完整地把一條新聞聽一到三遍，爭取掌握大意。然后，一句一句精聽，力爭每句話都聽明白。遇到實在不懂的地方，再聽寫。

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

（參考文本，歡迎指出錯誤^^）

However, the majority agree with the Arizona Republic which grips "Trust your bacis instinct and avoid the worst sequel since "Staying Alive". And Rolling Stone warrants: "The last to be had in this ___(2)___ sequel are all unintentional."

And ___(3)___ the best reviewd film of the week, and it's about mutated killer slugs. No, really. James Gunn, who adapted the critically acclaimed ___(4)___ hit "Dawn on the Dead" has written and directed "Slither". "What's that smell? Something dead…" A small town finds that a media strike brings certain nasty creatures to roost, and turns this sleepy burg into a hellish nightmare.
