Unit 3　The Million Pound Bank Note

Unit revision

活动与探究

As we know, Mark Twain was a great humorist. Many famous jokes was about him. Go to the library or surf the Internet to find some and share them with your classmates.

Samples:

Mark Twain and the Barber

In the course of one of his lecture trips, Mark Twain arrived at a small town before dinner. He went to a barber’s shop to be shaved.

“Are you a stranger? ” asked the barber.

“Yes, ” Mark Twain replied. “This is the first time I’ve been here. ”

“You chose a good time to come, ” the barber continued. “Mark Twain is going to give a lecture tonight. You’ll go, I suppose? ”

“Oh, I guess so. ”

“Have you bought your ticket? ”

“Not yet. ”

“But everything is sold out. You’ll have to stand. ”

“How annoying! ” Mark Twain said with a sigh. “I never saw such luck. I always have to stand when that fellow lectures. ”

Mark Twain and Whistler

Whistler, the famous artist, once invited Mark Twain to visit his studio to see a new painting he was just finishing. The humorist examined the canvas for some time in silence, then said, “I’d do away with that cloud if I were you, ” and extended his hand carelessly toward one corner of the picture as though about to smudge out a cloud effect. Whistler cried out nervously, “God, sir, be careful!  Don’t you see the paint is still wet? ”

“Oh, that doesn’t matter, ” said Mark Twain. “I’ve got my gloves on. ”
