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.

训练感想：今儿被虐到了，读了一天的英语，从晨读的任务到新概念，今儿是晨读提交作业的最后一天，所以告诉自己一定要完成，终于从早晨到上午，从上午到下午，最后花了接近一天的时间把这个完成了，晚上实在是不想读新概念，打算留到明天，但是心中有个人在告诉我，你拖一天，明天的任务压力会更大，还有时间，还可以完成，最后终于也完成了最低任务，感觉今儿下来嗓子都亚，今儿有很多情绪的感觉，总有声音告诉自己，可以休息，别搞得自己那么累，缓一缓，没事儿，但最终理智还是战胜了情绪，把今儿的任务完成了，这是最值得高兴的，终于可以休息了。感觉到无比的充实和踏实。继续前行
