Two Traits of a Successful College Student
First-time college students don't realize the reality shock they will receive when they get to college. High school and college atmosphere are extremely different in many ways and college students face many new challenges. To get through college successfully, all first-time college students must be dedicated and independent.
Dedication is a primary part of being successful in college. Students must work hard and take action to learn at a college level. Assignments can't be left until the last minute like they might have been in high school. College students must be willing to speak up in class and ask questions when they don't understand. Dedication means setting priorities for success; dedication means putting off going out with friends and caring about producing the best work possible. Dedicated students will do their work and do it well, spending hours reading textbooks, reviewing notes, and revising essays.
However, having dedication is not the only trait college students need to survive. College students must also be independent. (Supply the missing details)_____________________________________________.
College students need to know that being independent is a skill to acquire for college success, as well as life-long success.
College is hard work. Most first-time college students will struggle with the new experience, yet by being dedicated and independent, they will thrive in the college world.

听力原文: When cars first started appearing on the streets of the world, few people took them seriously. They were toys--playthings for grown men who didn't have much to do. No one thought that the automobile would become the world's most popular means of transportation.
When Henry Ford started selling his Model T in 1908, he changed all that. Ford believed that a car should be low-cost transportation that everyone could afford. So he decided to make such a car. First, he wanted a dependable automobile that wouldn't break down easily. Then he wanted a simple engine that almost anyone could fix.
Ford wanted to sell the car at a low price, so he had to make it at a low cost. Thus he made only one model and designed one color--black.
In 1932, the Duesenberg brothers produced a car that many people think it was the most luxurious automobile ever made--the Duesenberg SJ. Every Duesenberg car was custom-made, so each one was different. But it usually weighed about 7,000 pounds and had a very wide wheelbase--150 inches. It also had a 400 horsepower engine that could drive the huge car from zero to 100 miles per hour in 17 seconds.
The inside was very luxurious, too. It had the best silk, leather, silver and wood. A Dusenberg car was definitely expensive but rich people often felt that they had to own one. Unfortunately, the car cost so much to produce that the company lost money. In 1937, after making only 500 of them, the Duesenbergs stopped producing this kind of cars forever.

A.The two models of cars.
B.The history of car industry.
C.The development of cars in America.
D.The structure of Duesenberg cars.
