Mark Twain, whose stories of
the youthful adventures of Tom
Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn
won him a worldwide audience,
was born in 1835. He was an
American writer, journalist and
humorist. Twain loved the Mississippi river
along which he was brought up so much that
even his pen name is about the river. The phrase
“Mark Twain” means that the water is two
fathoms(英寻,合六英尺) deep. His real name is
Samuel Langhorne Clemens.

Humorous quotations by Mark Twain
—— “A banker is fellow who lends you his
umbrella when the sun is shining, but wants
it back the minute it begins to rain.”
—— “A classic is something that everybody
wants to have read and nobody wants to
read.”
—— “A lie can travel halfway around the
world while the truth is putting on its
shoes.”
马克·吐温轶闻趣事
美国有一个百万富翁,他的左眼坏了,于是就花了许
多钱请人给他装了一只假眼。这只假眼装得真好,乍一看,
谁也不会认出是假的。这个百万富翁十分得意,常常在人
们面前夸耀他的这只假眼。
有一次,这个百万富翁碰到了马克.吐温,问道:“马
克·吐温先生,你能猜得出来吗,我哪一只眼睛是假的?”
马克.吐温端详了一阵,便用手指着他的左眼说:
“这只是假的。”
这个百万富翁万分惊讶,不解地问:“你怎么能知道
的呢?根椐什么?”
马克.吐温这时十分平静地回答道:“因为你这只眼
睛里还有一点点慈悲!”
这个百万富翁听了马克.吐温的回答后,脸上一阵红
一阵白,羞愧无言。

Background
Drama is the specific mode of fiction represented in
performance. The term comes from a Greek word
meaning "action" , which is derived from "to do". The
enactment of drama in theatre, performed by actors on a
stage before an audience, presupposes collaborative
modes of production and a collective form of reception.
The structure of dramatic texts, unlike other forms of
literature, is directly influenced by this collaborative
production and collective reception. The early modern
tragedy Hamlet (1601) by Shakespeare and the classical
Athenian tragedy Oedipus the King by Sophocles are
among the supreme masterpieces of the art of drama.
The use of "drama" in the narrow sense to designate a
specific type of play dates from the 19th century.
Drama in this sense refers to a play that is neither a
comedy nor a tragedy--for example,. It is this narrow sense
that the film and television industry and film studies
adopted to describe "drama" as a genre within their
respective media. "Radio drama" has been used in both
senses--originally transmitted in a live performance, it has
also been used to describe the more high-brow and
serious end of the dramatic output of radio.
Drama is often combined with music and dance: the
drama in opera is sung throughout; musicals include
spoken dialogue and songs; and some forms of drama
have regular musical accompaniment. In certain
periods of history (the ancient Roman and modern
Romantic) dramas have been written to be read rather
than performed. In improvisation, the drama does not
pre-exist the moment of performance; performers
devise a dramatic script spontaneously before an
audience.
2. novel
1.新的,新颖的,新奇的(尤作褒义) adj.
She came up with a novel solution to

4.辨析近义词:
novel, fiction, story, romance
novel 指“有情节、有人物、有动作、有对
话的长篇故事”, 如:
the novels of Dickens
狄更斯的小说
novel
fiction 是小说总称, 特指“虚构的、杜撰
的故事”, 如:
We want facts, not fictions.
我们需要事实, 不要杜撰的故事。
romance 指“爱情故事”、“传奇小说”,
如:
The Arabian Nights and Treasure Island
are romances.
《一千零一夜》和《金银岛》都是传奇故事。
story 是普通用词, 指“把真实的或想象的
事通过讲述或写成书”, 如:
I like the stories about children.
我喜欢儿童故事。
Background
A novel is today a long narrative in literary prose. The genre
has historical roots both in the fields of the medieval and early
modern romance and in the tradition of the novella. The latter
supplied the present generic term(通用术语) in the late 18th
century.
The definition of the term in the last two or three centuries has
usually embraced several other criteria. These include artistic
merit, fictional content, a design to create an epic totality of life,
and a focus on history and the individual. Critics and scholars
have related the novel to several neighboring genres. On the one
hand, it is related to public and private histories, such as the nonfiction memoir and the autobiography. On the other hand, the
novel can be viewed as a form of art, to be evaluated critically in
terms of the history of literature and calling for a specific
sensitivity on the part of the reader to fully understand and
properly appreciate it.

What do you know more about Mark
Twain and his masterpieces(代表作)?
After Twain's father's death in 1847, he was apprenticed to
a printer and wrote for his brother's newspaper. He later
worked as a licensed Mississippi river-boat pilot. The Civil War
put an end to the steamboat traffic and Clemens moved to
Virginia City, where he edited the Territorial Enterprise. On
February 3, 1863, 'Mark Twain' was born when Clemens
signed a humorous travel account with that pseudonym.
In 1864 Twain left for California, and worked in San
Francisco as a reporter. He visited Hawaii as a correspondent
for The Sacramento Union, publishing letters on his trip and
giving lectures. He set out on a world tour, traveling in France
and Italy. His experiences were recorded in 1869 in The
Innocents Abroad, which gained him wide popularity, and
poked fun at both American and European prejudices and
manners.
The success as a writer gave Twain enough financial
security to marry Olivia Langdon in 1870. They moved next
year to Hartford.
Twain continued to lecture in the United States and England.
Between 1876 and 1884 he published several masterpieces,
Tom Sawyer (1881) and The Prince And The Pauper (1881).
Life On The Mississippi appeared in 1883 and Huckleberry
Finn in 1884.
In the 1890s Twain lost most of his earnings in financial
speculations and in the failure of his own publishing firm. To
recover from the bankruptcy, he started a world lecture
tour, during which one of his daughters died. Twain
toured New Zealand, Australia, India, and South Africa.
He wrote such books as The Tragedy Of Pudd’ head
Wilson (1884), Personal Recollections Of Joan Of Arc
(1885), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
(1889) and the travel book Following The Equator (1897).
During his long writing career, Twain also produced a
considerable number of essays.
The death of his wife and his second daughter
darkened the author's later years, which is seen in his
posthumously published autobiography (1924). Twain
died on April 21, 1910..

Ⅲ Grammar
——Noun clauses as the object
——Noun clauses as the predicative
宾语从句 (noun clauses as the object)
一个句子用作另一个句子的宾语,我们将这个句子叫做
宾语从句,宾语从句在句中常作及物动词或介词(如except,
but,besides等)的宾语。如:
I know nothing about her except that she is a girl.
我只知道她是个女孩。
She says that she will fly to Japan in a week.
她说她一周后要飞日本。
1.that引导的宾语从句
很多动词如say, think, wish , hope, see, believe, agree,
expect, hear , feel等动词后常可跟由that 引导的陈述句性的
宾语从句。连词that只起连接作用,在从句中不做句子的成
分,也无词汇意义,在口语中常省略。如:
I told him that he was wrong.
(1)主句的谓语是make,find,see,hear等,且带
有复合宾语时,可把宾语从句置于宾补之后,用it作形式
宾语。如:
I find that we study English is necessary变为
I find it necessary that we study English.
我发现我们很有必要学习英语。
(2)许多描述情感的形容词(happy,glad,
afraid,
pleased,sorry,surprised等),或表示确信无疑的形容
词(certain,sure等)后可带宾语从句。
I’m afraid (that)we’ve sold out of tickets.
对不起,我们的票已经卖完了。
(3)谓语是表思想和感觉的动词(如believe,imagine,
suppose,think,expect等)的否定句中,否定词必须转
移到这些谓语动词上来。
I don't believe she’ll arrive before 7.
我不相信她会在7点以前到达。
2.whether/if引导的宾语从句
连词if/whether( “是否……”)也可引导一个宾语从句。
Whether, if 在从句中不做句子成分,一般情况下whether和if
可以替换。如:
I don’t know if/whether he will come tomorrow.
The teacher asked if/whether we had finished the
experiment.
注意:介词后面的宾语从句中不用if引导。如:
Everything depends on whether we have enough
money。
3.wh-引导的宾语从句
连接代词who, whom, whose, what, which,和连接副
词when, where, why, how 等也可常用来连接宾语从句,
它们在句中既连接宾语从句,又在句子中充当一定的句子
的成分。如:
Do you know which film they are talking about?
(which做定语)
I don’t know where he lives. (where 做地点状语)
4.宾语从句的时态特征
宾语从句的时态受主句时态的限制,主句是一般现在时,
从句根据实际情况而定。主句是一般过去时,从句用相应
的表示过去的时态。如果从句的动作发生在主句之前,则
从句要用过去完成时。如:
She says that she is a student.
She said that she was a student.
She says that she will fly to Japan in a week.
She said that she would fly to Japan in a week.
She says that she has finished her homework already.
She said that she had finished her homework already.
She says that she can sing a song in English.
She said that she could sing a song in English.
注意:如果宾语从句说的是客观真理、自然现象或事实
时,这时宾语从句要用一般现在时。如:
The teacher said that the earth goes round the
sun.
5.宾语从句的语序
在宾语从句中,当引导词为wh-类型的连接代词与
连接副词时,宾语从句的语序必须是陈述语序,切忌和
特殊疑问句的语序混淆。其语序为:
连接词+主语+谓语+其他成分
I don’t know what I should say.
He asked me when I was a teacher.
They wanted to know how they can do for us.
表语从句(noun clauses as the predicative)
在复合句中用作表语的从句称为表语从句。
