一架从伦敦飞来的飞机抵达悉尼机场后，工人们开始卸下装着衣服的木箱。其中一只箱子重得出奇，谁也说不清为什么。 一名工人突然想到，不如把箱子打开看看。眼前的情景让他大吃一惊。 箱子里竟然躺着一个男人，身下是一堆毛织品。他被发现时太惊讶了，甚至没想逃跑。 被捕后，他承认自己在飞机离开伦敦前就藏进了箱子。他被困在木箱里十八个多小时，这趟旅程又漫长又难受。 他被勒令支付三千五百英镑的旅费，而正常票价只要两千英镑！
学完这一课
先沿这条线复述《既昂贵又受罪》：一只箱子特别重 → 工人决定开箱 → 箱里竟然躺着人 → 躲了十八个多小时 → 省下的票变得更贵。再借一个结构讲自己的事：先用短句介绍本课一个对象，再用关系从句补上识别它的重要细节。
