III. Closing down by acting

Hello and Welcome! This is the club for actors and actresses of all ages to come and swap acting ideas, tips, or anything else relating to any type of acting. I hope you will enjoy yourself here!

Actors and actresses from our club are going to act out ACT ONE of £1000000 BANK NOTE.

To learn acting and directing

Let me tell you what is important to your acting, so that, you know how to play the game to win.

Know what story you are telling.

Actor thinks of causes.

Director thinks of results.

In the house of entertainment the actor and director have to serve the audience and work for the author.

Defining Acting

The principles of acting come from all the things you do in life.

The actor has to learn all the acting principles, then the principles have to become subliminal in their acting.

Work on your acting craft in an acting workshop: just know the lines and do the scene. It is really that simple.

II. Guided reading

1. Reading and acting

Read the play first, and then try to act it out in group.

2. Reading and underlining

Next you are to read carefully and write in your note book all the useful expressions or collocations from the passage.

Section 1: A text structure analysis of SCENES 3, ACT ONE of £1000000 BANK NOTE

1．Type of writing and summary of the idea

Type of writing　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 This is a piece of narrative writing, a play.

Main idea of the passage

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Two rich British men offer a penniless American a loan, without telling him that the amount is £1,000,000, and this in the form of a single banknote.

22．(14分)规定，其中x∈R，m是正整数，且，这是组合数(n、m是正整数，且m≤n)的一种推广．

(1) 求的值；

(2) 设x>0，当x为何值时，取得最小值？

(3) 组合数的两个性质；

①.　②.

　　　 是否都能推广到(x∈R，m是正整数)的情形？若能推广，则写出推广的形式并给出证明；若不能，则说明理由.

21. (12分)设f(x)=(1+x)^m+(1+x)ⁿ(m、n)，若其展开式中，关于x的一次项系数为11，试问：m、n取何值时，f(x)的展开式中含x²项的系数取最小值，并求出这个最小值.

20．(12分)某地现有耕地100000亩，规划10年后粮食单产比现在增加22%，人均粮食占有量比现在提高10%。如果人口年增加率为1%，那么耕地平均每年至多只能减少多少亩(精确到1亩)？

19．(12分)是否存在等差数列，使对任意都成立？若存在，求出数列的通项公式；若不存在，请说明理由．

18．(12分)已知()ⁿ的展开式中前三项的二项式系数的和等于37，求展式中二项式系数最大的项的系数．
