First listen and then answer the question.

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!

  1.…workers began to unload a number of wooden boxes which contained clothing.……工人们开始卸下装有服装的一批木箱。
  (1)unload的含义为“卸(货)”,它的反义词为load(装货)。与形容词 uncomfortable, unsmiling等相似,有些动词加前缀un可以表示做相反的动作。
  (2)a number of为固定词组,表示“若干”、“许多”:
  You've made a number of mistakes in typing this letter.
  你打这封信时出了不少错误。
  (3)clothing是服装的总称,为不可数名词,其含义比clothes更为广泛。clothes一般指衣服,clothing则可以包括鞋、帽等。

  open up boxes/gifts 打开箱子/礼物
  When he received the gifts, he opened them up at once.
  他收到礼物后立刻就打开了。
