“老藍(lán)眼”（法蘭克綽號）做出了令人難以置信舉動：他把那位紳士身旁一張桌子上餐具收起來，然后站在上面大聲歌唱。他知道，自己這么做必定會被餐廳炒魷魚，不過像這么好機(jī)會又能有幾次？不用我說，這個故事剩下部分已經(jīng)載入史冊了。你可能從未聽說過肯尼基舞臺管理員故事吧。有一天，大禮堂里只有他和肯尼基兩個人，他開始用鋼琴彈奏肯尼基每一首曲子?？夏峄踔炼疾恢肋@個管理員會彈鋼琴。猜猜現(xiàn)在誰是肯尼基首席鍵盤手？你猜得沒錯！28/49譯文

你看，你永遠(yuǎn)都不知道機(jī)會之門何時為你開啟。對有些人來說，成功機(jī)會來得比較早，而對另一些人而言可能比較晚。但對全部成功人士而言，有一個至關(guān)主要共同點(diǎn)，那就是他們都準(zhǔn)備好了。而在他們背后，還有成千上萬沒有準(zhǔn)備好人。所以，成功標(biāo)準(zhǔn)就是：準(zhǔn)備好!你準(zhǔn)備好了嗎？你能夠思索一下以下問題：你技能還能深入提升嗎？當(dāng)機(jī)會來暫時，你技能能夠讓你獨(dú)擋一面嗎？29/49譯文你性格是否已經(jīng)深入發(fā)展到能夠應(yīng)對成功了？我們必須面對這個問題，假如你處理不了這個問題，你就不可能取得更大成功。你現(xiàn)在是否很努力地給自己定位呢？在等候機(jī)會之門開啟過程中，你需要做就是完善你技能和性格，并對自己清楚定位，這么你才能在大門關(guān)閉之前順利經(jīng)過。30/49譯文屬于你機(jī)會之門總有一天會打開。這扇門是面向每一個人開放。它可能只開啟一次，可能會開啟很屢次。對每個人而言，它是不一樣。從這個意義上講，生活是不公平。不過每個人都有機(jī)會。到那時，你會準(zhǔn)備好嗎？當(dāng)那扇巨大機(jī)會之門開啟時，你能夠大踏步穿過它嗎？

你必須全力以赴，充分準(zhǔn)備。不要只是坐在一旁希望和幻想。要主動主動，確保當(dāng)大門開啟時候，你是準(zhǔn)備最充分，確保你是工作最努力，確保你是離那扇門最近。當(dāng)大門開啟時——準(zhǔn)備好！噓……聽到了嗎？門合葉在吱嘎作響！那是大門開啟聲音。屬于你機(jī)會之門！準(zhǔn)備好了嗎？31/49After-readingActivitiesDiscussion1.Doyoubelievethatanyonecanachieveanything?Whyorwhynot?2.Willthedoorofopportunityopenforeveryone?Whatisyouropinion?32/49LanguageinUseTask1GrammarDevelopmentTask2VocabularyBuilding33/49Pastsimple,pastcontinuousandpastperfectareallpasttenses.Themeaningandusageofthesetensesarebestunderstoodincontext.Veryoftenweneedtounderstandtherelationbetweenthetimesoftheactions.Task1GrammarDevelopment：PasttensesA.Discussthedifferenceinmeaningbetweenthefollowingpairsofsentences.1.WhenIarrivedattheparty,theyweredrinking
