THE MILLION POUND BANK NOTE
ACT 1, SCENE 3
（人教版必修3 Unit 5 Reading and thinking）
Narrator: Two rich brothers, Roderick and Oliver, have made a bet. Oliver believes that with a million-pound bank note a man could live a month in London. His brother Roderick doubts it. They see a poor young man walking outside their house. It is Henry Adams.
Roderick: Young man, would you step inside a moment, please
Henry: Who Me, sir
Roderick: Yes, you.
Servant: (opening a door) Good morning, sir. Would you please come in
(Henry enters the house)
Roderick: How do you do, Mr ... er ...
Henry: Adams. Henry Adams.
Oliver: Come and sit down, Mr Adams.
Henry: Thank you.
Roderick: You’re an American
Henry: That’s right, from San Francisco.
Roderick: May we ask what you’re doing in this country and what your plans are
Henry: Well, I can’t say that I have any plans. As a matter of fact, I landed in Britain by accident.
Oliver: How is that possible
Henry: Well, I had my own boat. About a month ago, I was sailing, and towards night I found myself carried out to sea by a strong wind. The next morning I was spotted by a ship.
Oliver: And it was the ship that brought you to England.
Henry: Yes. I went to the American consulate to seek help, but ... Anyway, I didn’t dare to try again. (The brothers smile at each other.)
Roderick: Well, you mustn’t worry about that. It’s an advantage.
Henry: I’m afraid I don’t quite follow you, sir.
Roderick: Tell us, what sort of work did you do in America
Henry: I worked for a mining company. Could you offer me work here
Roderick: Patience. If you don’t mind, may I ask you how much money you have
Henry: Well, to be honest, I have none.
Oliver: (happily) What luck! Brother, what luck!
Henry: Well, it may seem lucky to you but not to me! If this is your idea of some kind of joke, I don’t think it’s very funny. Now if you’ll excuse me, I ought to be on my way.
Roderick: Please don’t go. You mustn’t think we don’t care about you. Oliver, give him the letter.
Oliver: Yes, I was about to go get the letter. Wait! (getting it from a desk and giving it to Henry) The letter.
Henry: (taking it carefully) For me
Roderick: For you. (Henry starts to open it) Oh, no, you’d better not open it. You can’t open it until two o’clock.
Henry: Oh, this is silly.
Roderick: Not silly. There’s money in it.
Henry: Oh, no. I don’t want your charity. I just want a job that earns an honest income.
Roderick: We know you’re hard-working. That’s why we’ve given you the letter. (to the servant) Show Mr Adams out.
Oliver: Good luck, Mr Adams.
Henry: Well, why don’t you explain what this is all about
Roderick: You’ll soon know. In exactly an hour and a half.
Servant: This way, sir.
Roderick: Not until 2 o’clock. Promise
Henry: Promise. Goodbye.

百万英镑
第一幕，第3场
旁白：一对富有的兄弟，罗德里克和奥利弗，打了一个赌。奥利弗认为，一个人靠一张百万英镑的钞票在伦敦能活一个月。他的兄弟罗德里克对此表示怀疑。他们看见一个贫穷的年轻人在房子的外面游荡。他叫亨利·亚当斯。
罗德里克：年轻人，请你进来一会儿，好吗？
亨利：先生，你叫谁呀？是叫我吗？
罗德里克：是的，就是你。
仆人：（打开门）早上好，先生，请进。
（亨利走进房子）
罗德里克：你好，先生，你贵姓？
亨利：亚当斯，亨利·亚当斯。
奥利弗：来，请坐，亚当斯先生。
亨利：谢谢。
罗德里克：你是美国人？
亨利：是的，从旧金山来。
罗德里克：可不可以问问，你在这个国家要干点儿什么？你的计划又是什么呢？
亨利：嗯，谈不上有什么计划。事实上，我在英国上岸是偶然的。
奥利弗：这怎么可能呢？
亨利：嗯，我有自己的船。大约一个月前，我开着船，晚上的时候我发现我被一阵大风刮到海上去了。第二天早上，一艘船发现了我。
罗德里克：正是那艘船把你带到了英国。
亨利：是的。我上美国大使馆求助，但是……不管怎样，我不敢再去尝试了。（兄弟俩相顾而笑）
罗德里克：嗯，这一点你倒不必担心，这还是优点呢。
亨利：对不起，先生，你的话我没有听懂。
奥利弗：请你告诉我们，你在美国是做什么工作的？
亨利：我在一家矿业公司工作。你们能不能给我提供工作呢？
罗德里克：耐心点儿。如果你不介意，我能不能问问，你手头儿有多少钱？
亨利：嗯，老实说，我一分钱都没有了。
奥利弗：（高兴地）老兄，真走运！真有运气！
亨利：嗯，这对你们来说可能是运气，但对我来说可不是。如果你们认为这是一个笑话，我可不觉得很好笑。好了，请原谅，我想我该上路了。
罗德里克：请别走。你千万不要以为我们不在意你的感受。奥利弗，把信给他。
奥利弗：好的，我正想去拿信呢。稍等一下！（从桌上把信拿起来，递给亨利）给你信。
亨利：（小心翼翼地接过信）是给我的吗？
罗德里克：是给你的。（亨利要拆信）啊，别拆，你不要拆，到两点钟你才能打开。
亨利：噢，这真可笑。
罗德里克：这不可笑，这里边有钱呢。
亨利：噢，不，我不需要你们的施舍，我只要一份老老实实的工作。
罗德里克：我们知道你工作是很卖力的，这正是我们给你这封信的原因。（对仆人说）请送亚当斯先生出去。
奥利弗：祝你好运，亚当斯先生。
亨利：嗯，怎么不给我讲讲，这究竟是怎么回事呢？
罗德里克：你很快就会明白的。一个半小时以后。
仆人：请这边走，先生。
罗德里克：两点钟以前不要拆信，答应吗？
亨利：答应。再见！
答案
Possible answer 1: If l had a million-pound bank note, I would find a millionaire and sell the bank note to him at a cheap price. He could deposit the bank note into his bank account without any trouble, and I would still have plenty of money to do what I wanted. Then I would help my parents pay off all their debts. Next, I would look for ways to invest the money or build my own business so that it would provide long-term income for myself and my entire family.
Possible answer 2: If I had a million-pound bank note, I would open a school for kids from poor families. It would help the kids complete their schooling and give them hope for a better future. Many kids in rural areas have to leave school early because their family can't afford it or because they have to start working to help their family. By giving them a chance to get an education, they could go on to find a well-paid job. This would help their family financially, and also break the chain of poverty.
(1) They bet on whether a man could live for a month in London if he had a million-pound bank note.
(2) He came to England by accident. He was out sailing when his boat was carried out to sea, and a ship rescued him, taking him to England.
(3) He would like them to offer him a job.
(4) Because he is a proud and honest man who thinks that it is important to live by hard work.
(5) Because he looks poor. Then when they talk to him, they discover that he is poor, friendless, and alone. He is perfect for their bet.
3. (1) surprised (2) anxious (3) puzzled (4) angry and upset (5) puzzled, angry, curious, surprised
4. (1) I didn't get any help in the consulate and my experience there was unpleasant. I'm afraid to go back to the consulate.
(2) It's an advantage to us that you were brought to England by accident and you don't have any money because you’re the right person for the bet. You don't need to worry about your situation because we're going to give you a million-pound bank note.
(3) Fortunately, we found the right person for the bet. It’s good luck for us.
(4) It's very strange that I can't open the envelope until two o'clock. What’s happening
5. bet, accident, seek, sort, scene
6. 无

THE MILLON POUND BANK NOTE
ACT 2, SCENE 1
Narrator: Henry is walking along the street holding the bank note in his hand. His coat is worn in several places. He sees a sign for a tailor’s shop.
Henry: (entering the shop) I’d like to have a suit coat.
1st Clerk: (in a rude manner) See him there. (pointing to another clerk)
2nd Clerk: Ready-made suits Downstairs.
Henry: (after going down some stairs) Can you show me a suit, please
3rd Clerk: Yes, I can, sir. This way, please. Ah, here we are, the very thing you need.
1st Clerk: (pulling the 3rd clerk aside and whispering) Mr Reid says you’d better serve him quick and get him out quick!
3rd Clerk: I know what I’m doing. I’ve got eyes, haven’t I
Henry: It’s a little too bright, isn’t it
3rd Clerk: (looking at him with a frown) It’s all we have in your size.
Henry: Well, I suppose it ought to do for now. I’ll take it.
3rd Clerk: Good. Shall I put it in a box
Henry: No. I’ll wear it. Oh, I’d rather not pay you now. I’d like to pay in a month. You see, I don’t have any small change.
3rd Clerk: (trying not to show he’s angry) I suppose a gentleman like you only carries very large bills.
Henry: Now, you shouldn’t judge people by their clothes. I just don’t want to cause you trouble with a large note.
3rd Clerk: It’s no trouble at all.
Henry: In that case, there’s no problem. (He gives the clerk the bank note. The clerk drops Henry’s coat. Then he folds the bill and slowly unfolds it again, as if looking at something he can’t believe is there.)
Owner: Well, what seems to be the trouble
Henry: I’m just waiting for my change.
Owner: Give him his change, Todd. Get going. (after getting the bank note from Todd) Would it ... could it be the one I saw in the papers last week I remember thinking that never would I hold such a note as this ... (to Henry) Oh, take off this coat, sir. (to Todd) Go get the others, Todd! (to Henry again) Allow me, sir! This way, sir.
(in another part of the shop, where there is a wide range of options for Henry to choose from)
Henry: This is nice, but I really don’t need it.
Owner: Never mind. (with a broad smile) Oh, it’s perfect! It was made for some king but he’ll just have to wait. You’ll need many suits for many occasions. Yes, indeed you will.
Henry: Wait a minute. I only came here to get a suit coat to wear today. I dare not buy all these things. You would have to wait a long time to get paid.
Owner: A long time, sir Why, you don’t have to worry about that!
Henry: Well, all right. I’ll take the suit coat for now and get the others later.
Owner: Fine, fine. Your address, sir
Henry: I don’t have one. Er ... I’m moving.
Owner: Of course you are! That’s very normal! A busy man, I’m sure.

百万英镑
第二幕，第1场
旁白：亨利手持钞票在街上行走。他的外套有几个地方都破了。他看到一家裁缝店的招牌。
亨利：（走进商店）我想买一件西装外套。
店员1：（粗鲁地）你去找他。（指着另一个店员）
店员2：成衣吗？在楼下。
亨利：（下了楼梯后）你能给我拿一件成衣吗？
店员3：好的，先生。这边请。啊，这件挺适合你。
店员1：（把店员3拉到一边低声说）里德先生说，你最好快点招待他，然后快点把他打发走！
店员3：我知道我该怎么做。我又不是没长眼睛。
亨利：有点太鲜艳了，不是吗？
店员3：（皱着眉头看着他）这是所有适合你尺码的衣服了。
亨利：好吧，我想现在应该可以了。就要这套。
店员3：好的。要把它放在盒子里吗？
亨利：不，我穿上。哦，我最好现在不付钱。我想在一个月后付款。我没带什么零钱。
店员3：（尽量不表现出他的愤怒）我想像您这样的绅士只会带巨额钞票。
亨利：你不应该以貌取人。我只是不想因为一张巨额钞票而给你添麻烦。
店员3：一点也不麻烦。
亨利：如果是这样的话，那就太好啦。（他把钞票给了店员。店员放下亨利的外套。然后他把钞票折叠起来，再慢慢展开，好像在看他不敢相信的东西一样。）
店主：怎么了？有什么问题吗？
亨利：我只是在等他找零钱。
店主：给他找零钱，特德。快点（从特德那里拿到钞票后）会不会是……是我上周在报纸上看到的那张百万英镑？记得当时我以为我（手里）永远不会握着这样一张钞票……（对亨利说）哦，先生，脱下这件外套。（对特德说）特德，快去取别的衣服过来！（再次对亨利说）先生，请让我来帮您！先生，这边请。
（在商店的另一个地方，亨利可以有各种各样的选择）
亨利：这很好，但是我真的不需要。
店主：没关系。（带着灿烂的笑容）哦，太完美了！这是为某个国王订做的，但他得等一等。在不同场合您需要用到不同的西装。是的，您会用到的。
亨利：等一下。我今天来这里只想买一件西装外套。我可不敢买这么多东西。你得等很长时间才能拿到付款。
店主：很长时间，先生？为什么，您不必为此担心！
亨利：好吧。我现在还是先把这件西装外套穿上，其他的等会再去拿。
店主：好吧，好吧。先生，您的地址？
亨利：我没有地址。嗯……我要走了。
店主：当然可以！那很正常！你肯定是个大忙人。
答案：
1. 1. He goes to a tailor's shop. He wants new clothes.
2. They show him ready-made clothes, because he looks poor and these clothes are cheaper.
3. They change their attitudes after seeing the million-pound note because they think that he is rich.
4. Perhaps he thinks that Henry will come back and buy a lot more clothes in the future or tell his wealthy friends about the shop.
5. No, it’s not right, for two reasons. First, everyone has dignity and should be treated with the same respect. Second, you cannot judge someone before you know all the facts about this person. Dressing well or having a lot of money doesn't mean someone is a nice person. Sometimes appearances are deceptive.

Henry Goes to the Barbers
(Henry is smiling as he leaves the restaurant. He has had more than enough to eat. As he is walking down the street, he sees a sign for a place that cuts hair. In a shop window, he looks at his own hair. Since it is too long, he decides to get it cut.)
Henry: Good afternoon, I’d like to get a cut, if I may. (The barber takes one look at Henry and continues cutting another man’s hair) Er... I'd really like to get a haircut. As you can see it’s much too long.
Barber: (in a rude manner) Yes, I can see that. Indeed, I can.
Henry: Fine, well, I’ll just have a seat then.
(After some time, the barber finishes cutting the other man s hair, takes his money, and then turns to look at Henry.)
Barber: Looks like it's been a long time. You must be a sailor.
Henry: Er ... not quite. But I was at sea for a long time.
Barber: All right, then, get in the chair and I’ll see what I can do.
Henry: Thank you.
Barber: Where did you say you were from
Henry: I didn't, but Fm from San Francisco.
Barber: Well, you're a long way from home.
Henry: Yes, too long.
(They both become quiet. After his hair is cut, the barber tells Henry how much he must pay. Henry shows the barber the bank note.)
Barber: (looks shocked) Why, Mr ... Henry: Adams. Henry Adams. I'm sorry I don't have any small bills.
Barber: Why, Mr Adams, of course you wouldn't! (wearing a big smile) Nothing to worry about! Nothing at all! Please come back any time, even if you only need two little hairs cut! It will be my honour to serve you!

答案：
1. (1) In order to have a good life, people should be able to buy food, clothes, a place to live, and medical care.
(2) The old saying that "You can't buy love" is certainly true. Money will not make people love you in a real way, nor will it build a happy family and strong friendships.
(3) Money is not the basis of a happy life, as many people are able to find joy in simple things of life, such as nature, their work, and their families. On the other hand, it can be quite hard to live without money, so realistically speaking, having enough money to meet the daily needs can help a person pay more attention to things that bring joy.

5. 1 Chen Liyan is generous and honest because she returned a large sum of money to the owner.
No. She returned the money because it was the right thing to do. Evidence for this is that she refused to accept the reward money because she felt that it had not been earned.
It depends on the culture. In some countries it is quite common to return money that has been found. In other countries, people believe “Finders are keepers!”
He must have been very happy and relieved to have gotten his money back. We know this because he thanked Chen repeatedly and even offered her a reward.
He must have had great sympathy for Chen and her daughter and wanted to help them. We know this because he arranged help for them.
The news reporter felt that it showed that money wasn't the most important thing in life. We know this because the reporter told us that this is what Chen believes, and then said, “that's a great attitude to take.”

B: Well, I think that Chen Liyan was correct in returning the money, but she should have accepted the money Wang offered.
C: But people shouldn't expect payment from doing what is right!
B: She wasn't expecting payment, though. At the same time, she needed the money to help her daughter. She should have taken it.
A: I disagree. Honesty should be its own reward. Besides, there are other ways to get money.
B: For example
C: Well, like in the news story, there is fundraising.
B: So we disagree. There is one thing I think all of us can agree on, however.
C: What

听力文本：
Recently, a cleaner by the name of Chen Liyan has made the headlines for her generous and honest act.
The 45-year-old Chen was sweeping the floor at Taiyuan Railway Station early last Tuesday morning when she found a small plastic bag near a chair and discovered 100,000 yuan inside. Chen was shocked but she was determined to return the money to its owner.
When interviewed by the local paper yesterday, Chen said, "I would have felt bad if I had kept the money. After all, the owner might have needed it badly.”
While working, Chen watched carefully for anyone who might have been the owner. She waited for over two hours, but having no luck, she went to the nearest police station to turn the money in. There, it was finally returned to its owner, Wang Zheng.
Wang thanked Chen repeatedly and apologised for the inconvenience, even offering her 5,000 yuan as a reward. To his surprise, however, Chen refused, believing that it would be wrong to accept money that she had not earned.
But what is even more surprising, perhaps, is that Chen's daughter, 16-year-old Liu Xia is currently seriously ill. Chen had already spent the last of her savings on the ongoing treatments and has also taken out a large loan.
Fortunately, Ma Dongbao, who works at the police station, stepped in. Living in the same apartment building as Chen's family, Ma was well aware of Chen's difficulties. When Wang was told about Chen's situation, he decided to set up a fundraising website to pay for Liu's hospital bills.
Chen Liyan’s example shows a different way of thinking about money. Money is important, but to people like Chen, it definitely isn't everything. And that's a great attitude to take.
