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：今天先把课文背下来，然后一边洗衣服一边模仿跟读，洗完衣服以后再整篇朗读对比，这样投入的时间加长。要加长练习的时间，这种方法值得尝试，适合磨嘴皮的人来用。效果还不错.
