Lesson46 Expensive and uncomfortable
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 !

练习感悟：
- 朗读感受：今天还是读快了，断句有些没断好，语气也还嫌太平。跟着原音多读几遍，慢慢来比较快。
- 能否改进：注意数字的读法。
- 打鸡血：考试考不过更需要认真读英语！加油～
