On Opportunity 1

It seems that the fame of outstanding figures is due to some stroke of luck. Throughout history， some famous people always have admired opportunities that lead to success. In daily life， some “lucky dogs”（幸运儿） never lack chances in their turning points. In fact， opportunities may come to everyone now and then.

　　However， it is a pity that most people fail to seize opportunitiesg Why ⅡOpportunities “prefer” those who are prepared to grab. Without a ready mind， admired opportunities may slip through one's fingers.

　　In my view， without diligence， willpower and continual efforts， opportunities are groundless talk. To be qualified for success， people should be equipped with necessary skills， rich experience and abundant knowledge besides numerous unusual qualities （素质）。 In a word， opportunities are only catalyst （催化剂） of success， but not precondition （先决条件） of success.

　　范文分析 除了多样化的句子，多功能的结构也可使表达错落有致。例如：第二段中的介词短语“Without a ready mind”，可代替句子“If one does not have a ready mind”。分词短语、不定式短语、介词短语等短语代替句子，既能增加变化，又可加快行文节奏。当句子内容既可以用完整句，又可以用其它结构表达时，不妨变换一下。（提示：变换要地道、自然、可信。不能单纯为了变化而用多种多样的语言形式。）
