“老蓝眼”（法兰克绰号）做出了令人难以置信举动：他把那位绅士身旁一张桌子上餐具收起来，然后站在上面大声歌唱。他知道，自己这么做必定会被餐厅炒鱿鱼，不过像这么好机会又能有几次？不用我说，这个故事剩下部分已经载入史册了。你可能从未听说过肯尼基舞台管理员故事吧。有一天，大礼堂里只有他和肯尼基两个人，他开始用钢琴弹奏肯尼基每一首曲子。肯尼基甚至都不知道这个管理员会弹钢琴。猜猜现在谁是肯尼基首席键盘手？你猜得没错！28/49译文

你看，你永远都不知道机会之门何时为你开启。对有些人来说，成功机会来得比较早，而对另一些人而言可能比较晚。但对全部成功人士而言，有一个至关主要共同点，那就是他们都准备好了。而在他们背后，还有成千上万没有准备好人。所以，成功标准就是：准备好!你准备好了吗？你能够思索一下以下问题：你技能还能深入提升吗？当机会来暂时，你技能能够让你独挡一面吗？29/49译文你性格是否已经深入发展到能够应对成功了？我们必须面对这个问题，假如你处理不了这个问题，你就不可能取得更大成功。你现在是否很努力地给自己定位呢？在等候机会之门开启过程中，你需要做就是完善你技能和性格，并对自己清楚定位，这么你才能在大门关闭之前顺利经过。30/49译文属于你机会之门总有一天会打开。这扇门是面向每一个人开放。它可能只开启一次，可能会开启很屡次。对每个人而言，它是不一样。从这个意义上讲，生活是不公平。不过每个人都有机会。到那时，你会准备好吗？当那扇巨大机会之门开启时，你能够大踏步穿过它吗？

你必须全力以赴，充分准备。不要只是坐在一旁希望和幻想。要主动主动，确保当大门开启时候，你是准备最充分，确保你是工作最努力，确保你是离那扇门最近。当大门开启时——准备好！嘘……听到了吗？门合叶在吱嘎作响！那是大门开启声音。属于你机会之门！准备好了吗？31/49After-readingActivitiesDiscussion1.Doyoubelievethatanyonecanachieveanything?Whyorwhynot?2.Willthedoorofopportunityopenforeveryone?Whatisyouropinion?32/49LanguageinUseTask1GrammarDevelopmentTask2VocabularyBuilding33/49Pastsimple,pastcontinuousandpastperfectareallpasttenses.Themeaningandusageofthesetensesarebestunderstoodincontext.Veryoftenweneedtounderstandtherelationbetweenthetimesoftheactions.Task1GrammarDevelopment：PasttensesA.Discussthedifferenceinmeaningbetweenthefollowingpairsofsentences.1.WhenIarrivedattheparty,theyweredrinking
