What is a bet? When do people make a bet?
What will the brothers bet on?
Have you ever made a bet with your friend?
What did you bet on? Did you win or lose?
What do you think of such a way to solve problems?About the ￡1, 000,000 Bank-note
The Bank of England once issued two notes of a million pounds each, to be used for a special purpose connected with some public transaction with a foreign country. For some reason or other only one of these had been used and canceled; the other still lay in the bank.
The brothers, chatting along, happened to get to wondering what might be the fate of a perfectly honest and intelligent stranger who should be turned adrift in London without a friend and with no money but a million-pound bank-note, and no way to account for his being in possession of it? Would he starve to death or not? Would he get arrested if he tried to change it? Could he live for a month without being sent to jail?
The brothers could not agree on the fate of the young man, so they made a bet, which was a quite
common way to settle a problem at that time in Britain. Step Four 猜测故事情节发展，激发学生对本剧本的兴趣。
Could the brothers find such a person to test the bet?
If so, what will the man’s fate be like?Step Five

Reading and Comprehending
课时任务：
阅读理解剧本第一幕第三场，学习戏剧的语言，了解作品写作风格，分析人物性格。
学习交际中委婉请求的表达法。
教学方法：
运用图式理论，采取“自上而下”的方式，将篇章作为整体来处理。
设计5个任务(自上而下): prediction, skimming, scanning, discussion, conclusion Step One: 通过对第一幕第一、二场的课外阅读，了解故事背景。
What can we learn from the first and second scene?
How does this bank note come?
What will the owners do with it?
Who is Henry Adams?
Where does he go?
Does he get any help there?Step Two: 预测下文故事发展
So predict what will happen to Henry after he leaves the embassy?
Step Three: Skimming
Skim the passage and find the answers to the questions:
1. How many characters are there in this scene? Who are they?
2. When and where does the story take place?
3. What do the two old men give Henry?Step Four: Scanning五个任务
1. Do Exercise 1 in Comprehending on Page 19, decide whether the statement is a fact or an opinion.
2. Questions based on the surface understanding of the whole scene:
1) What happens one day when Henry was walking down the street?
2) Where does Henry come from?
3) Why does he come to London and how?
4) Why does he stare at the food on the table when he is talking with the men?
5) What did Henry do before coming to London?
6) How much money does he own?
7) When can Henry open the letter the men give him?
8) What’s inside the letter?
9) Does Henry accept the letter?3. Questions based on the further understanding of the whole scene:
1) The two men are strangers to Henry. Why does he tell them his experience in such great detail?
2) Why do the brothers smile at each other on hearing Henry’s unlucky experience?
3) Henry doesn’t quite follow the brothers when Roderick says “It’s an advantage.” Do you know what he means by saying so?
4) How does Henry feel when he gets the letter with money in from the brothers? Why does he take it at last?
5) Can you describe his feelings when Henry leaves the brothers?4) Analyze the stage directions in this scene, the words are used either to show the speaker’s tone of voice or his behavior.
(One of the basic features in the structure of plays is the stage directions, which appear in italics, using the present tense. They provide the director and actors with guidance about how words should be said--tone of voice, or what action actors should take as they say the words--behavior.)
5) 7) Do Exercise 2 in Comprehending on Page 19.
Step Five: Discussion
Questions for discussion:
1) Why does the narrator say it is the most incredible tale?
2) What do you think of the brothers and Henry? Find some reasons to support your ideas.
3) What will Henry do with the letter? What will happen to him during the next few hours?
4) What does the writer--Mark Twain try to tell us through such a story?Step Six: Listen to the tape and find some useful expressions about how to make requests and how to respond them.
Would you step inside a moment, please?
Would you please come in?
--I wonder, Mr Adams, if you’d mind us asking a few questions.
--Go right ahead.
May we ask what you’re doing in this country and what your plans are?

Henry gets a letter with money in from the brothers. What will he most probably do with it after he leaves the brothers’ house? Why?Step Two Reading
1. Skimming
Answer the questions by looking at the picture and glancing at the beginning and ending of the text.
1) What does he really do after he leaves the brothers?
2) What food does he order?
3) Does he get into any trouble with the note after the meal?2. Scanning（两个任务）
Read the scene carefully, get the detailed information and find the answers to the questions.
1) Why does Henry ask the waiter to wait for just a few minutes?
2) Why does the owner ask the waiter to go away and take care of the matter himself?
3) Who is Mr. Clemens in the play?
4) Can the note be fake? Why or why not?
5) What do they think of Henry who is in rags after seeing the note?
6) Where is Henry’s seat in the restaurant? Why do they ask him to sit there?
7) How much does Henry pay for the meal?2. Scanning
Compare the attitudes of the owner and hostess before and after Henry shows the bank note.Step Three Post-reading
1) Analyze the stage directions, what is the usage of them, to show the speaker’s tone of voice or the behavior?
2) What does the owner mean by saying “We’ll see if he’s clever as a wolf?” and “We will have to take a chance?
3) Find some examples that show the famous writing style of Mark Twain’s--humor and satire.
4) Suppose you were in Henry’s situation, what would you continue to do?Some examples that show the famous writing style of Mark Twain’s--humor and satire.
First, the change in attitude of the owner, the hostess and the waiter when Henry produces a large bank-note they cannot change. So in fact Henry does get a free meal with the note (because they trust him to pay when he can get change) although the restaurant owner would have denied trusting him to pay his meal without it.
Second, the introduction of Mr. Clemens into the story is also humorous to those people who know that Mark Twain, the writer and Sam Clemens are one and the same. He is there as an authority on whether the bank-note is real or not and also as an observer within his own story. Step Four
Listen to the tape, pay attention to the expressions used in a restaurant and those used to order food.
That one’s reserved.
Take this gentleman’s order.
I’d like some ham and eggs and a nice big steak.
I’ll have a nice tall glass of beer.
All right. That’s two orders of ham and egg…Step Five Acting

1. He might use it to buy a house and have to leave the bank-not with the house sellers so they will be sure he can pay them.
2. He might take the bank-note to the bank and put it into a bank account. Then he can use smaller amounts of money for his daily needs.
3. He might use the note to buy a business so that he can earn enough money for his daily needs. If he works hard, by the time the brothers return he will be rich enough to pay his debts.4. He might use the bank-note to buy some clothes so that he can look for a job and be able to support himself in London.
5. He might first of all use the note to have a haircut so that he will have a good appearance and that will help him to find a job in London to support himself.
对于后两种情景，教师可以着重加以引导，因为这两种情景就是原剧本的第一幕第五场（后半部分）和第二幕第一场的内容，也是课本的Writing部分和练习册的talking和listening的内容, 因此，这部分的根据情景编对话既是练习册听力的pre-listening, 也为学生学写剧本作好了口头准备。Step Five (Workbook) Listening--Act Two Scene 2
