Lesson77 A successful operation
The mummy of an Egyptian woman who died in 800 B.C. has just had an operation. The mummy is that of Shepenmut who was once a singer in the Temple of Thebes. As there were strange marks on the X-ray plates taken of the mummy, doctors have been trying to find out whether the woman died of a rare disease. The only way to do this was to operate. The operation, which lasted for over four hours, proved to be very difficult because of the hard resin which covered the skin. The doctors removed a section of the mummy and sent it to a laboratory. They also found something which the X-ray plates did not show: a small wax figure of the god Duamutef. This god which has the head of a cow was normally placed inside a mummy. The doctors have not yet decided how the woman died. They feared that the mummy would fall to pieces when they cut it open, but fortunately this has not happened. The mummy successfully survived the operation.

练习感悟:
- 朗读感受:又到年底,每年的年终总是觉得今年没做啥事跟往常一样。今年终于可以自豪地说至少我开始了英语朗读,并且一只坚持从未间断。虽然还不足百天虽然进步不明显,但也是为自己变得更好所做的事情之一了。今天文章中有个词是以前见过但没查过音标自己想当然读的,然后错误的发音导致读文章时读错了好多遍,即使已经单个单词纠正了发音。有点像偏见形成后就很难更改。
- 能否改进:暂无。
- 打鸡血:加油~
