summer of 1903. Two old and wealthy brothers, Roderick an dOliver, have made a bet. Oliver believes that with a million pound bank note a man could survive a month in London. His brother Roderick doubts it. At this moment, they see a penniless young man wandering on the pavement outside their house. It is Henry Adams, an American businessman, who is lost in London and does not know what he should do.Roderick: Young man, would you step inside a moment, please?Henry: Who? Me, sir?Roderick: Yes, you.Oliver: Through the front door on your left.Henry: ( A servant opens a door) Thanks.Servant: Good morning, sir. Would you please come in? Permit me to lead the way, sir.Oliver: （Henry enters）Thank you, James. That will be all.Roderick: How do you do, Mrer?Henry: Adams. Henry Adams.Oliver: Come and sit down, Mr Adams.Henry: Thank you.Roderick: You are an American?Henry: That s right, from San Francisco.Roderick: How well do you know London?Henry: Not at all, its my first trip here.Roderick: I wonder, Mr Adams, if youd mind US asking a few questions.Henry: Not at all. Go right ahead.Roderick: May we ask what youre doing in this country and what your plans are?Henry: Well, I cant say that I have any plans. Im hoping to find work. As a matter of fact, I landed in Britain by accident. Oliver: How is that possible?Henry: Well, you see, back home I had my own boat. About a month ago, I was sailing out of the bay ( his eyes stare at what is left of the brothers dinner on table.)Oliver: Well, go on.Henry: Oh, yes. Well, towards nightfall I found myself carried out to sea by a strong wind. It was all my fault. It didnt know whether I could survive until morning. The next morning Id just about given myself up for lsot when I was spotted by a ship.Oliver: And it was the ship that brought you to England.Henry: Yes. The fact is that I earned my passage by working as an unpaid hand, which accounts for my appearance. I went to the American embassy to seek help, but ( The brothers smile at each other.)Roderick: Well, you mustnt worry about that. Its an advantage.Henry: Im afraid I dont quite follow you, sir.Roderick: Tell us, Mr Adams, what sort of work did you do in America.Henry: I worked for a mining comapany. Could you offer me some kine of work here?Roderick: Patience, Mr Adams. If you dont 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! (claps his hands together)Henry: Well, it may seem lucky to you but not to me! On the contrary, in fact. If this is you idea of some knd of joke, I dont think its very funny. ( Henry stands up to leave) Now if youll excuse me, I think Ill be on my way.Roderick: Please dont go, Mr Adams. You mustnt think we dont care about you. Oliver, give him the letter.Oliver: Yes, the letter. (gets it from a desk and gives it to Henry like a gift ) The letter.Henry: (taking it carefully) For me?Roderick: For you. (Henry starts to open it) Oh, no, you mustnt open it. Not yet. You cant open it until two oclock.Henry: Oh, this is silly.Roderick: Not silly. Theres money in it (calls to the servant) James ?Henry: Oh, no. I dont want your charity. I just want an honest job.Roderick: We know youre hard-working. Thats why weve given you the letter. James, show Mr Adams out.Henry: Well, why dont you explain what this is all about?Roderick: Youll soon know. (looks at the clock) In exactly an hour and a half.Servant: This way, sir.Roderick: Mr Adams, not until 2 oclock. Promise?Henry: Promise. Goodbye.

Thats two orders of ham and eggs, two extra thick steaks, two large galsses of beer, two cups of coffee and two desserts.Henry: (looking at the clock on the wall) Would you mind waiting just a few minutes?Waiter: (in a rude manner) What s there to wait for?Owner: All right, Horace. Ill take care of this.Henry: (to owner) That was a wonderful meal. Its amazing how much pleasure you get out of the simple thins in life, especially you cant have them for a while.Owner: Yes, very interesing. Now perhaps, sir, if you pay you bill I can help the other customers.Henry: (looking at the clock on the wall again) Well, I see its two oclock.( he opens the envelope and holds a million pound bank Norelco in his hands Henry is very surprised but the owner and waiter are shocked) Im sorry.

I simply dont know .Owner : Well, I did hear that the Bank of England had issued two notes in this amount Anyway, I dont think it can be a fake. People would pay too nuch attention to a bank note of this amount. No thief would want that to happen.Hostess: But hes in rags!Owner: Perhaps hes a very strange, rich man. ( as if he has discovered something for the first time) Why,yes! That must be it!Hostess: (hits her husbands arm) And you put him in the back of the restaurant!

Were so very glad that you even entered our little eating place. Indeed, sir, I hope youll come here whenever you like.Henry: Well, thats very knd of you.Owner: Kind, sir? No, its kind of you. You must come whenever you want and have whatever you like. Just having you sit here is a great honour! As for the bill, sir, please forget it.Henry: Forget it? Well thank you very much. Thats very nice of you.Owner: Oh, its for US to thank you, sir and I do, sir, from the bottom of my heart. (the owner, hostess and waiter all bow as Henry leaves)Act , Scene 4Narrator: at the end of the month, Henry was very rich and didnt fear jail. Dressed in the finest clothes, he drove by the brothers house in Portland Place and, seeing they were back, went to get Portia at her friennds home.Henry: My dear, the way you look today, it would be a crime not to ask for a good salary for the job theyll give to me.Portia: Oh, please remember that if we ask for too much we may get no salary at all; and then whatll happen to us, with no way in the world to earn a living?( At the brothers home, the servant lets them in. the two brothers are seated,waiting.)Henry: Good morning,gentlemen .( Rodrick seems very surprised to see Portia) Portia, these are the men who helped me.Portia: So vary nice to meet you, kind sirs. ( She gives Oliver a wink with one eye.)Roderick: ErPortia, I Oliver: Were both glad to hear it, for now we can decide the bet which Roderick and I made. If youve won for me, you shall have any job as my gift. Have you got the million pound bank note?Henry: Here it is, sir.Oliver: Ive won! Now what do you say, Roderick?Roderick: I say that Ive lost twenty thousand pounds. I never would have believed it. Why, that is amazing, man!Henry: Come, lets be going now, Portia.Oliver: But wait, wait! The job, you know. I must give you a job, as I promised.Henry: Well, thank you very much, but I really dont want one now.Portia: Henry, Im disappointed in you. You didnt thank the gentlemen properly. May I do it for you?Henry: Let me see you try.(Portia walks over to Roderick and gives him a hug. Then she sits in Olivers lap, puts her arms around his nevk and kisses him on the cheek. Oliver begins laughing.)Portia: Papa,he says he doesnt want anything else from you.Henry: (shocked) My dear, is that your papa?Portia: Hes my step father, and the dearest one that ever was.Henry: Oh, my dearest dear sir, I regret what I said. You have got a job open that I want.Oliver: Name it.Henry: Son-in-law.Oliver: Well, well,well! But youve never had such a job before. How can it be sure you can do it successfully?Henry: Try me oh,do, I beg of you! Give me 30 or 40 years , and Oliver: Oh, well, all right.Narrator: Are Portia and Henry happy? There are not enough word in the biggest dictionary to describe it. Did the people of London have a good time with this bit of news? Yes. Portias stepfather took that bank note back to the Bank of England and cashed it. The bank note was then useless for money but was his wedding gift to the young couple. Yes, the bank note was worth millions of dollars, but not worth on tenthe as much as how Henry felt about Portia .Unit 4How life began on the earthNo have just finished cutting three cart-loads of golden brownmacaroni stalks.

We are now returning you to the studio.Lesson77 A successful operation 一例成功的手术The mummy of an Egyptian woman who died in 800 B.C. has just had an operation. The mummy is that of Shepenmut who was once a singer in the Temple of Thebes. As there were strange marks on the X-ray plates taken of the mummy, doctors have been trying to find out whether the woman died of a rare disease. The only way to do this was to operate. The operation, which lasted for over four hours, proved to be very difficult because of the hard resin which covered the skin. The doctors removed a section of the mummy and sent it to a laboratory. They also found something which the X-ray of the god Duamutef. This god which has the head of a cow was normally placedinside a mummy. The doctors have not yet decided how the woman died. They feared that the mummy would fall to pieces when they cut it open, but fortunately this has not happened. The mummy successfully survived the operation. Lesson78 The last one? 最后一枝吗？After reading an article entitled Cigarette Smoking and Your Health I lit a cigarette to calm my nerves. I smoked with concentration and pleasure as I was sure that this would be my last cigarette. For a whole week I did not smoke at all and during this time, my wife suffered terribly. I had all the usual symptoms of someone giving up smoking: a bad temper and an enormous appetite. My friends kept on offering me cigarettes and cigars. They made no effort to hide their amusement whenever I produced a packet of sweets from my pocket. After seven days of this I went to a party. Everybody around me was smoking and I felt extremely uncomfortable. When my old friend Brian urged me to accept a cigarette, it was more than I could bear. I took one guiltily, lit it and smoked with satisfaction. My wife was delighted that things had returned to normal once more. Anyway, as Brian pointed out, it is the easiest thing in the world to give up smoking. He himself has done it lots of times! Lesson79 By air 乘飞机I used to travel by air a great deal when I was a boy. My parents, used to live in South America and I used to fly there from Europe in the holidays. An airhostess would take charge of me and I never had an unpleasant experience. I am used to travelling by air and only on one occasion have I ever felt frightened. After taking off, we were flying low over the city and slowly gaining height, when the plane suddenly turned round and flew back to the airport. While we were waiting to land, an air-hostess told us to keep calm and to get off the plane quietly as soon as it had touched down. Everybody on board was worried and we were curious to find out what had happened. Later we learnt that there was a very important person on board. The police had been told that a bomb had been planted on the plane. After we had landed, the plane was searched thoroughly. Fortunately, nothing was found and five hours later we were able to take off again.Lesson80 The Crystal Palace 水晶宫Perhaps the most extraordinary building of the nineteenth century was the Crystal Palace, which was built in Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851. The Crystal Palace was different from all other buildings in the world, for it was made of iron and glass. It was one of the biggest buildings of all time and a lot of people from many countries came to see it. A great many goods were sent to the exhibition from various parts of the world. There was also a great deal of machinery on display. The most wonderful piece of machinery on show was Nasmyths steam hammer. Though in those days, travelling was not as easy as it is today, steam boats carried thousands of visitors across the Channel from Europe. On arriving in England, they were taken to the Crystal Palace by train. There were six million visitors in all, and the profits from the exhibition were used to build museums and colleges. Later, the Crystal Palace was moved to South London. It remained one of the most famous buildings in the world until it was burnt down in 1936.Lesson81 Escape 脱逃When he had killed the guard, the prisoner of war quickly dragged him into the bushes. Working rapidly in the darkness, he soon changed into the dead mans clothes. Now, dressed in a blue uniform and with a rifle over his shoulder, the prisoner marched boldly up and down in front of the camp. He could hear shouting in the camp itself. Lights were blazing and men were running here and there: they had just discovered that a prisoner had escaped. At that moment, a large black car with four officers inside it, stopped at the camp gates. The officers got out and the prisoner stood to attention and saluted as they passed. When they had gone, the driver of the car came towards him. The man obviously wanted to talk. He was rather elderly with grey hair and clear blue eyes. The prisoner felt sorry for him, but there was nothing else he could do. As the man came near, the prisoner knocked him to the ground with a sharp blow. Then, jumping into the car, he drove off as quickly as he could. Lesson82 Monster or fish? 是妖还是鱼？Fishermen and sailors sometimes claim to have seen monsters in the sea. Though people have often laughed at stories told by seamen, it is now known that many of these monsters which have at times been sighted are simply strange fish. Occasionally, unusual creatures are washed to the shore, but they are rarely caught out at sea. Some time ago, however, a peculiar fish was caught near Madagascar. A sma summer of 1903. Two old and wealthy brothers, Roderick an dOliver, have made a bet. Oliver believes that with a million pound bank note a man could survive a month in London. His brother Roderick doubts it.
