听力原文: Who gets to be a millionaire? People say that it is the students who get straight A's and go to Ivy League colleges. Or maybe it is the children born into wealthy families with brilliant connections. But the fact is, neither mentioned above is typical. According to a survey of 1,300 millionaires made by Thomas Stanley for his new book, The Millionaire Mind, the average millionaire got B's and C's in college. In fact, most millionaires were told they were not intellectually gifted, not smart enough to succeed. Then, how did they later become millionaires? Instead of relying on natural genius, they choose careers that match their abilities. They may not have great analytic intelligence, but they are creative and practical. They focus on a goal, take calculated risks and then work harder than most people. None of them credit their success to being smart. They say the keys to success are being honest and disciplined, getting along with other people, having a supportive spouse and working hard. Somehow they figured out what they were good at
They all said, "I will be the best at this. This is what I really, really love to do."
According to a survey, who may have a better chance to be millionaires?

A. Top students at school
B. Ivy League College graduates
Children with rich connections
D. Less intellectually gifted students with creative and practical minds

听力原文: Alfred Nobel, the great Swedish inventor and industrialist, was a man of many contrasts. He was the son of a bankrupt man, but became a millionaire; a scientist with a love of literature, an industrialist who managed to remain an idealist. He made a fortune but lived a simple life, and although cheerful in company he was often sad in private. A lover of mankind, he never had a wife or family to love him; a patriotic son of his native land, he died alone on foreign soil. He invented a new explosive, dynamite, to improve the peacetime industries of mining and road building, but saw it used as a weapon of war to kill and injure his fellow men. He was born in Stockholm on October 21, 1833 but moved to Russia with his parents in 1842. Most of the family returned to Sweden in 1859. He had never been to school or university but had studied privately. He was imaginative and inventive, but he had better luck in business and showed more financial sense. His greatest wish was to see an end to wars, and thus peace between nations, and he spent much time and money working for this cause until his death in Italy in 1896.
What happened on October21, 1833?

Alfred Nobel invented dynamite.
B. Alfred moved to Russia.
C. Alfred was born in Stockholm.
D. Alfred died in a foreign country.
