The mummy of an Egyptian woman who died in 800 B.C has just had an operation.
ðə ˈmʌmi ɒv ən ɪˈʤɪpʃən ˈwʊmən huː daɪd ɪn 800 biː.siː hæz ʤʌst hæd ən ˌɒpəˈreɪʃən.
The mummy is that of Shepenmut who was once a singer in the Temple of Thebes.
ðə ˈmʌmi ɪz ðæt ɒv Shepenmut huː wɒz wʌns ə ˈsɪŋər ɪn ðə ˈtɛmpl ɒv θiːbz.
As there was a 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.
æz ðeə wɒz ə streɪnʤ mɑːks ɒn ði ˈɛksˈreɪ pleɪts ˈteɪkən ɒv ðə ˈmʌmi, ˈdɒktəz hæv biːn ˈtraɪɪŋ tuː faɪnd aʊt ˈwɛðə ðə ˈwʊmən daɪd ɒv ə reə dɪˈziːz.
The only way to do this was to operate.
ði ˈəʊnli weɪ tuː duː ðɪs wɒz tuː ˈɒpəreɪt.
The operation, which lasted for over four hours, proved to be very difficult because of the hard resin which covered the skin.
ði ˌɒpəˈreɪʃən, wɪʧ ˈlɑːstɪd fɔːr ˈəʊvə fɔːr ˈaʊəz, pruːvd tuː biː ˈvɛri ˈdɪfɪkəlt bɪˈkɒz ɒv ðə hɑːd ˈrɛzɪn wɪʧ ˈkʌvəd ðə skɪn.
The doctors removed a section of the mummy and sent it to a laboratory.
ðə ˈdɒktəz rɪˈmuːvd ə ˈsɛkʃən ɒv ðə ˈmʌmi ænd sɛnt ɪt tuː ə ləˈbɒrətəri.
They also founds something which the X-ray plates did not show: a small wax figure of the god Duamutef.
ðeɪ ˈɔːlsəʊ faʊndz ˈsʌmθɪŋ wɪʧ ði ˈɛksˈreɪ pleɪts dɪd nɒt ʃəʊ: ə smɔːl wæks ˈfɪgər ɒv ðə gɒd Duamutef.
This god which has the head of a cow was normally placed inside a mummy.
ðɪs gɒd wɪʧ hæz ðə hɛd ɒv ə kaʊ wɒz ˈnɔːməli pleɪst ɪnˈsaɪd ə ˈmʌmi.
The doctors have not yet decided how the woman died.
ðə ˈdɒktəz hæv nɒt jɛt dɪˈsaɪdɪd haʊ ðə ˈwʊmən daɪd.
The feared that the mummy would fall to pieces when they cut it open, but fortunately this has not happened.
ðə fɪəd ðæt ðə ˈmʌmi wʊd fɔːl tuː ˈpiːsɪz wɛn ðeɪ kʌt ɪt ˈəʊpən, bʌt ˈfɔːʧnɪtli ðɪs ɪz nɒt ˈhæpənd.
The mummy successfully survived the operation.
ðə ˈmʌmi səkˈsɛsfʊli səˈvaɪvd ði ˌɒpəˈreɪʃən.

练习感悟:很是烦躁,应该要早一点把练习解决的,很多事情一部按照心中的预期来发展就特别焦躁。每天都觉得时间不够用,却又不知道再怎么把握住时间,一边浪费一边可惜,这样子特别烦躁!!!!!
