听录音,然后回答以下问题。
What did the
man in this story do?
When a plane
from London arrived at Sydney airport, workers began to unload a
number of wooden boxes which contained clothing. No one could
account for the fact that one of the boxes was extremely heavy. It
suddenly occurred to one of the workers to open up the box. He was
astonished at what he found. A man was lying in the box on top of a
pile of woolen goods. He was so surprised at being discovered that
he did not even try to run away. After he was arrested, the man
admitted hiding in the box before the plane left London. He had had
a long and uncomfortable trip, for he had been confined to the
wooden box for over eighteen hours. The man was ordered to pay
$3,500 for the cost of the trip. The normal price of a ticket is
$2,000!
