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.

Could the brothers find such a person to test the bet?

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:复习上一课时有关《百万英镑》故事的背景 ，预测下文故事发展。
What can we learn from the first and second scene?
So predict what will happen to Henry after he leaves the embassy?
The Bank of England
banker
Act One Scene One
Embassy of the USA
Act One Scene Two
Step Two: Scanning
Scan 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 Three: Skimming四个任务
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?

3. Questions based on the further understanding of the whole scene:

2) Henry doesn’t quite follow the brothers when Roderick says “It’s an advantage.” Do you know what he means by saying so?
3)Finish Exercise 3 on Page 19 by working in pairs, compare the different feelings Henry has on different occasions.
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.)
Step Four: Discussion
Questions for discussion: (Exercise 4)
1) What do you think of the brothers and Henry? Find some reasons to support your ideas.
2) What will Henry do with the letter? What will happen to him during the next few hours?
3) What does the writer--Mark Twain try to tell us through such a story?
Step Five: Listen to the tape
Find all the examples of polite requests, then rewrite them in informal language.
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.
May we ask what you’re doing in this country and what your plans are?
