Mark Twain’s House
The holy passion of Friendship is of so sweet and steady and loyal and enduring a nature that it will last through a whole lifetime, if not asked to lend money.
友谊是如此圣洁的一种激情,是如此甜蜜、牢固和忠诚,这样的特质可使友谊维系终身—只要不向对方借钱。
—Mark Twain
Mark twain
Mark Twain was a great American writer, and he was also a famous speaker.
He liked to tell funny stories to make people laugh. He also liked to play jokes on his friends. Once Mark Twain was traveling with a friend of his.
His friend lost his money, so he asked Mark Twain to buy a train ticket for him.
“But I don't have enough money to buy two tickets,” said Mark Twain.
His friend didn't know what to do.
“You can hide under my seat when the conductor comes to check the tickets,” Mark Twain said to him.
When the conductor came to check the tickets, Mark Twain gave him two tickets, one for himself and one for his friend.
He said to the conductor, “My friend is a strange man. When he travels on a train, he does not like to
sit on the seat. He likes to lie on the floor under the seat.”
Everyone in the train looked at his friend under the seat and laughed.

Writing
It sounds difficult to write a play, even a small part of it sounds difficult. Writing a play or drama is quite different from writing a story. The main purpose of a play is to let the characters speak for themselves
as much as possible. How actors show us what the characters think and feel is also important.
Suppose you are the director of this play. Write your own scene for this play with a partner.
Suggested scene:
Act One, Scene 5
N=Narrator H=Henry B=Barber
N: 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.
H: 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 see, it’s much too long.
B: (In a rude manner) Yes, I can see that. Indeed, I can.
H: Fine, well, I’ll just have a seat then.
N: After some time, the barber finishes cutting the other man’s hair, takes his money, and then turns to look at Henry.
B: Look like it’s been a long time. You must be a sailor.
H: Er-not quite. But I was at sea for a long time.
B: All right, then, get in the chair and I’ll see what I can do.
H: Thank you.
B: Where did you say you were from
H: I didn’t, but I’m from San Francisco.
B: Well, you’re a long way from home.
H: Yes, too long.
N: They both become quiet. After his hair is cut, the barber tells Henry how much money he must pay. Henry shows the barber the bank-note.
B: Why, Mr.—(looks shocked)
H: Adams. Henry Adams. I’m sorry, but I don’t have any small bills.
B: 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 honor to serve you!
Writing Task (P60-61)
Imagine that after Henry marries Portia he has bad luck in business and becomes poor once again. Now he must tell his wife the bad news. Before you write, however, discuss these questions with your partner:
1) Do you think Henry would worry about what his wife would say to him after she heard the bad news For example, do you think she would get angry at him
2) Do you think Henry would worry that his wife would leave him
3) Do you think Portia would ask Henry how he suddenly became so poor
4) Do you think Portia would worry about their marriage now
Suggested dialogue:
P=Portia H=Henry
P: Oh, Henry. It’s nice to see you home so early!
H: Erm, ah.
P: (Looking worried) What’s happened
H: I can’t hide much from you, can I, dear We have lost our money. The railway company in Brazil has bankrupted and all our money has disappeared. But I have a plan to help us. We can go back to America and start again. I can become a gold miner and we can make our fortune that way.
P: Leave London Leave my stepfather Oh no, Henry, please!
H: I think it might be better for us. We would stand on our own feet.
P: (Crying) I shall have to go home. You can’t love me if you want to do this dreadful thing.
H: (Putting his arms round her) Of course I do. It is for our sake that I suggest this. It will be an adventure. We will be able to travel where we like and I will be able to show you so many lovely places.
P: As long as you love me I shall be happy.
H: And I shall always do that!

How did you feel when you were asked to the rich brother’s house
Did you believe that the letter will work
Did you feel angry when the clerk at the tailor’s shop treated you badly at first ......
Make a dialogue for Act Two, Scene 1 using all of the following information:
Henry tells a clerk that he wants a coat for a suit. The clerk shows him a cheap coat downstairs. Henry doubts if he should take it. The clerk persuades him to buy it. Henry agrees,
but explains that he can’t pay him right now, as he has no small change. In your dialogue, include expressions on shopping. Practice your dialogue and then share it with another pair. And we’ll see which has the most appropriate for the play.

C: Do you want anything
H: Yes, please. I want to buy a suit.
C: Of course. You may find these rather expensive. We’ve got some cheaper ones in the back room. Will you come through to the back, please ...Why don’t you try this one on
H: Mmm, it doesn’t seem to fit very well.
C: I’m afraid it’s the cheapest one we’ve got.
H: Very well, I’ll take it. Could you wait a few days for the money I don’t have any small notes on me.
C: Oh, you haven’t Well, of course, I know that gentlemen like you carry only large notes.
H: My friend, you shouldn’t judge strangers always by the clothes they wear. I’m quite able to pay for this suit. I just didn’t wish to put you to the trouble of changing a large note.
C: Why do you think we can’t change your note Of course we can.
H: Oh, very well. Then there is nothing to worry about. I apologize. (Hands him the note.)
(1) Have...on/with/about somebody: take or bring something when someone goes to a place.

S: May I help you, sir
H: Yes. I need to see the two brothers
about —
S: They’ve gone, sir. Gone travelling.

H: A month But I can’t believe—
S: Good day, sir.
N: Henry sits down on the stairs, opens the envelope and takes out the letter to read. The letter says: “You are an intelligent and honest man, as one may see by your face. We also believe you are poor and a stranger to this city.
Inside you will find a sum of money. It is loaned to you for a short e back to our home with it in exactly 30 days. I have a bet on you. If I win it, you shall have any job that you can do as my thanks.”
H: Well, how about that!
Go back to the two
brothers’ house
Imagine what might happen to Henry in the next month as he tries to use the bank-note but not get into trouble.
or
1. He might use it to buy a house and have to leave the bank-note with the house sellers so they will be sure he can pay them.

Grammar
1. 名词性从句是由if, whether, that和各种疑问句词where, when等充当连接词所引导的从句, 其功能同名词一样。
2. what与that在引导名词性从句时的区别:
what引导名词性从句时在从句中充当句子成分,如主语,宾语,表语,而that则不然,它在句子中只起连接作用。例如：
(1) What you said yesterday is right.
(2) That she is still alive is a puzzle.
3. 宾语从句就是在复合句中作宾语的名词性从句, 通常放在主句谓语动词(及物动词)或介词之后。
(1) 由that 引导的宾语从句(that通常可以省略), 例如：
I heard that he joined the army.
(2) 由what, whether (if)引导的宾语从句,例如：
① She did not know what had happened.
② I wonder whether you can change this note for me.
4. 否定的转移:若主语谓语动词为think, consider, suppose, believe, expect, guess, imagine等,其后的宾语从句若含有否定意义,一般要把否定词转移到主句谓语上,从句谓语用肯定式。
I don’t think this dress fits you well. (我认为这件衣服不适合你穿。)
5. it常可以放在动词think, find, consider, believe, feel, make等后作为形式宾语:it不仅可以作为形式主语，还可以作为形式宾语而真正的宾语-that从句则放在句尾,特别是在带复合宾语的句子中。 We heard it that she would get married next month.
6. 表语从句是在复合句中作表语的名词性从句, 放在系动词之后,一般结构是“主语+系动词+表语从句”。可以接表语从句的系动词有be, look, remain, seem等。引导表语从句的that常可省略。另外,常用的还有the reason why … is that … 和It is because …等结构。例如：
1). The question is whether we can make
good preparation in such a short time.
2). This is why we can’t get the support of the people.
3). But the fact remains that we are behind the other classes.
4). The reason he is late for school is that he missed the bus.
