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:
可算考完试了,两天睡了九个小时,用特浓咖啡和功能饮料冲刺了两天,考完试没有任何的激动,心情特别平静,想继续认认真真地办事情,提升自己。对于我来说,考试的暂告一段落并不能让我有放松的感觉,而是产生了一种对于后面的生活进行如何安排的思考,需要继续完成的任务、对自己的规划发展、做一些自己一直想做的事。
然后是练习朗读的感悟。今天任务进入正常状态,除了认真朗读,还要认真写总结,明天开始做五项全能。朗读课文的发音已经越来越自然,语言学习是一个用时间将语言刻到思想里的过程,持续越久,刻得越深,也就是习惯度不断提升。
今天的朗读过程里发现了一个现象,The放在元音的音标为首的单词前时,并不是一定读作/ði/。而是当the在句首时,读作/ðə/,在网络上并没有查到相关的解析。
一句话,就是干。
