BANK－ ———————————— ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ There is a humorous story about a famous American novelist. Can you guess who he is . He liked to tell funny stories to make people laugh and play jokes on his friends. Once he was traveling with a friend of his. His friend lost his money, so he asked him to buy a train ticket for him. “But I dont have enough money to buy two tickets,” he said. His friend didnt know what to do. “You can hide under my seat when the conductor comes to check the tickets,” he said to his friend. When the conductor came to check the tickets, he gave the conductor 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.” 《百万英镑》是马克·吐温的一篇有名的小说，描绘了美国的一个小办事员出海游玩，迷失方向后，幸遇救，随船来到英国伦敦。他身无分文，举目无亲，两个富有的兄弟给了他一张一百万镑的钞票，并以他在三十天内凭这张百万英镑的钞票能否活下去而打赌。在小说的结尾，小人物不仅活过了三十天，并且利用这张百万英镑发了一笔财，还获得了一位小姐的芳心。小说通过小办事员的种种“历险”嘲弄了金钱在资产阶级社会叱咤风云、呼风唤雨的作用。 What do you know about Mark Twain?
