Scientists say she probably died of lung(肺) disease

43、when she was in her 40sabout 2，000 years agoin Egypt. They even have a model of her skull. Based on that, an artist was sure how she may have looked when she was alive. And yet, the mummys coffin(棺材) has never been opened. Instead, scientists used a machine called a CT scanner(掃描儀) to look inside.CT

44、 scanners were developed to help doctors examine patients. But the machines turned out to be perfect for studying mummies, too.“A hundred years ago, scientists would usually open mummies coffins. This did a great deal of harm to those mummies，” says AMNH president Ellen V. Futter.“We just dont do th

57、ing to let enjoyment take a back seat to other goals, believing that theyll grow into the role and find enjoyment over time.Their findings may offer a little encouragement to people who arent loving their jobs right now. Everyone has moments like that, but its important to keep your thoughts focused
