14、xpect to read about in this text?Helen and Her FatherI was born on June 27, 1880, in a little town of northern Alabama. My father, Arthur H. Keller, was an officer in the army. The family consisted of my father and mother, two elder half-brothers, and, afterward, a little sister, Mildred. In Februar
15、y of 1882, came the illness which closed my eyes and ears and threw me into the unconsciousness of a new-born baby. The doctor thought I could not live. Early one morning, however, the fever left me as suddenly and mysteriously as it had come. There was a great joy in the family that morning, but no
16、 one, not even the doctor, knew that I should never see or hear again. Gradually I got used to the silence and darkness that surrounded me and forgot that it had ever been different.Meanwhile the desire to express myself grew. The few signs I used became less and less useful, and my failures to make
17、 myself understood were followed by outbursts of passion. I felt as if invisible hands were holding me, and I made great efforts to free myself. I struggled not that struggling helped matters, but the spirit of resistance was strong within me; I generally broke down in tears and physical tiredness.
18、If my mother happened to be near, I crept into her arms, too painful even to remember the cause of the anger. After a while, the need of some means of communication became Helen Adams Keller (June 27, 1880 June 1, 1968) was an American author, political activist, and lecturer. She was the first deaf
19、-blind person to earn a bachelor of arts degree. The story is adapted from her book The Story of My Life.DO YOU KNOW?2 UNIT 1 FAMILYso strong that these outbursts occurred daily, sometimes hourly.My parents were deeply sad and puzzled. We lived a long way from any school for the blind or the deaf, a
20、nd it seemed unlikely that any one would come to teach a child who was both deaf and blind. Indeed, my friends and relatives sometimes doubted whether I could be taught.My father was most loving to his home. His special pride was the big garden where, it was said, he raised the finest watermelons an
21、d strawberries in the county; and to me he brought the first ripe grapes and the best berries. I remember his gentle touch as he led me from tree to tree, and his eager joy in whatever pleased me. He was a famous story-teller; after I had acquired language, he used to spell his cleverest stories in
22、a very awkward way into my hand, and nothing pleased him more than to have me repeat them at a right moment.When I was about six years old, my father heard of a doctor in Baltimore, who had been successful in many cases that had seemed hopeless. My parents at once determined to take me to Baltimore
23、to see if anything could be done for my eyes.The journey, which I remember well, was very pleasant. I made friends with many people on the train. One lady gave me a box of shells. My father made holes in these so that I could string them, and for a long time they kept me happy. The conductor, too, w
24、as kind. Often when he went his rounds, I held his coat tails while he collected and checked the tickets. His tool, with which he let me play, was an interesting toy. Curled up in a corner of the seat, I enjoyed myself for hours making funny little holes in bits of cardboard. During the whole trip I
25、 did not have one fit If you move in a very awkward way, you are not moving in an easy way. It is not comfortable.QUICK CHECK!3of temper. There were so many things to keep my mind and fingers busy.When we arrived in Baltimore, Dr. Chisholm received us kindly, but he could do nothing. He said, howeve
26、r, that I could be educated, and advised my father to consult Dr. Bell of Washington, who would be able to give him information about schools and teachers of deaf or blind children. Acting on the doctors advice, we went immediately to Washington to see Dr. Bell, my father with a sad heart, I wholly
27、unconscious of his worry, finding pleasure in the excitement of moving from place to place. Child as I was, I at once felt the kindness which endeared Dr. Bell to so many hearts, as his wonderful achievements enlisted their admiration. He held me on his knee while I examined his watch, and he made i
28、t strike for me. He understood my signs, and I knew it and loved him at once. But I did not dream that that interview would be the door through which I should pass from darkness into light, from loneliness to friendship, knowledge, and love.Dr. Bell advised my father to write to Mr. Anagnos, and ask
29、 him if he had a teacher able to begin my education. This my father did at once, and in a few weeks there came a kind letter from Mr. Anagnos telling that a teacher had been found. This was in the summer of 1886. But Miss Sullivan did not arrive until the following March. The most important day I re
30、member in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, came to me. I am filled with wonder when I consider the immeasurable contrast between the two lives which it connects. It was the third of March, 1887, three months before I was seven years old.
