Unit 1 People of Achievement
The Firm Helen Keller
In 1882 a baby girl caught a fever that
was so fierce she nearly died. She survived
but the fever left its mark—she could no
longer see or hear. Because she could not
hear she also found it very difficult to speak.
So how did this child, blinded and deafened at 19 months old, grow up to become a world-famous author and public speaker?
The fever cut her off from the outside world, depriving her of sight and sound. It was as if she had been thrown into a dark prison cell from which there could be no release.
Before her seventh birthday, the family
hired a private tutor—Anne Sullivan. Anne
was careful to teach Helen especially those subjects in
which she was interested. As a result Helen became
gentler and she soon learnt to read and write in Braille. She also learnt to read people’s lips by pressing her
finger-tips against them and feeling the movement
and vibrations. This method is called Tadoma and it
is a skill that very, very few people manage
to acquire. She also learnt to speak, a major
achievement for someone who could not
hear at all.
Helen proved to be a remarkable scholar. While she was still at college she wrote ‘The Story of My Life’. This was an immediate success and earned her enough money to buy her own house.
She toured the country, giving lecture after lecture. Many books were written about her and several plays and films were made about her life. Eventually she became so famous that she was invited abroad and received many honors from foreign universities and monarchs. In 1932 she became a vice-president of the Royal National Institute for the Blind in the United Kingdom.
After her death in 1968 an organization was set up in her name to combat blindness in the developing world. Today that agency, Helen Keller International, is one of the biggest organizations working with blind people overseas.
As a matter of fact, Helen is an outstanding person who defeated various difficulties and succeeded in the end. We teenagers should learn from her and manage to control ourselves and do more contributions to our country.

一名女婴因发高烧差点丧命。她虽幸存下来
,
但发烧给她留下了后遗症
——
她再也看不见、听不见。因为听不见
,
她发现想讲话也变得很困难。
那么
,
这个
19
个月大的失明和耳聋的孩子
,
是如何成长为世界著名的作家和演说家的呢
?
发烧使她与外界隔绝
,
失去了视力和声音。就好像她被扔进了一个黑暗的牢房
,
不能被释放。
在她快到七岁生日时
,
家里便雇了一名家庭教师
——
安妮
·
沙利文。安妮悉心地教海伦
,
特别是她感兴趣的东西。这样海伦变得温和了而且很快学会了用布莱叶盲文朗读和写作。靠用指尖接触说话人的嘴唇去感受运动和震动
,
她又学会了触唇意识。这种方法被称作泰德马
,
是一种很少有人掌握的技能。她也学会了讲话
,
这对失聪的人来说是个巨大的成就。
海伦证明了自己是个出色的学者
,
上大学时她就写了
《
我的生命
》
。这使她立即获得成功从而挣了足够的钱为自己购买一套住房。
她周游全国
,
一次又一次地演讲。许多书都是写她的
,
一些戏剧和电影是关于她的生活的。最终她名扬四海
,
被邀请到国外
,
并获得了许多外国大学和君主颁发的荣誉。
1932
年
,
她成为英国皇家国家盲人研究所的副所长。
1968
年她去世后

,
该组织旨在与发展中国家存在的失明缺陷斗争。如今这所机构
, “
海伦

凯勒国际基金会”

是海外向盲人提供帮助的最大组织之一。
事实上

海伦是一个杰出的人

,
深呼吸
,
鼓起勇气再坚持一会
,
一定会守得云开见月明。

(
坚持到明天
)
在年轻的日子里
我告诉自己我将有属于自己的生活
并离开这阳光照不到的地方
我的生命没有时间等待
当我看见升起的太阳时
它又一次告诉我必须坚持下去
坚持到明天
……
飘浮在自由的云上
离开那些日子
而且我们会飘浮到明日金色的田野上
我的生命没有时间等待
当我看见升起的太阳时
它又一次告诉我必须坚持下去
坚持到明天
没有理由再去回顾过去
坚持到明天
当沉重的旅行结束
我将休息我疲惫的头脑
那是为了这个世界更加光明
我的生命没有时间等待
当我看见夕阳西下
它又一次告诉我必须坚持下去
坚持到明天
坚持到明天
坚持到明天
