她虽幸免于难，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，她想讲话也变得很困难。
在她快到七岁生日时，家里便雇了一名家庭教师 -- 安尼·沙利文。
安尼悉心地教授海伦，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。
靠用手指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》。
这使她获得了巨大的成功从而有能力为自己购买一套住房。
1968年她逝世后，一个以她的名字命名的组织建立起来，该组织旨在与开展中国家存在的失明缺陷做斗争。
如今这所机构，"国际海伦·凯勒"，是海外向盲人提供帮助的最大组织之一。
篇二：英文名人故事Ｋarl Ｍalone’s Ｓtat ＲoadＡs a young boy, Ｉ grew up with my eight sibilings in a tin一roofed shack in Ｓummerfield, Ｌouisiana. Ｉ didn't see my circumstance as an obstacle, even though we didn't even have a real toilet in the house. Ｉ saw my life more as a card that had been dealt to me and Ｉ tried to make the most of it.Ｉ was the youngest of five boys and also had four sisters who had to pull together and take care of each other. Ｄad wasn't around, so Ｉnever knew him well. Ｈe committed suicide when Ｉ was three years old, leaving Ｍom with the job of raisir3g and providing for nine kids. Ｓhe worked at a sawmill running a foklift for fifty dollars a week and had another job at a poultry plant. Ｓhe was a very hard worker, and in order to make ends meet, she hardly ever rested.Ｍy mom believed in doing all she could do to take care of her responsibilities, so no matter what .she never asked for a handout. Ｙou can imagine: we kids didn't get what we wanted, but we always got the things we needed. Ｗith my mom as my example, Ｉ learned that hard work is the best way to get whatyou want.Ｗhile growing up, Ｉ was surrounded with temptations to do negative things like drugs, alcohol and all that. Ｉ chose not to go there. Ｅven as a little boy, Ｉ knew Ｉ was going to be successful. Ｓome people take that to be cocky or conceited, but Ｉ wasn't going to let anybody tell me that Ｉcouldn't do whatever Ｉ set out to do.Ｏf course, Ｉ dreamed about what Ｉ wanted to be when Ｉgrew up. Ａt first, Ｉwould be a state trooper, then Ｉwanted to be in the Ｓpecial Ｆorces. Ａfter a while, Ｉdecided that 1 wanted to drive eighteen-wheelers. Ｔhere was even a period of time that Ｉ wanted to be in construction. Ｉwanted to play football in high school; in fact,Ｉ still do. Ｂut regardless of what Ｉchose, Ｉwanted to make my brothers, sisters and mom proud of me一not only by being successful in what!chose to do, but also a person who could be looked up to for the night reasons.Ｓuprising as it might seem, basketball wasn't in my plans. Ｏne day, my mom cut a rim off an old water barrel and then held it up for me to throw an old rubber ball through. Ｂy junior high, Ｉ started playing basketball on a team. Ｉ loved to compete. Ｔhere was a positive high Ｉ got by going out andplaying against other people and working hard to win. Ｆor me, it paid off. Ｉ just let my success in basketball take its course, but Ｉ always put the effort in, every day.Ｎo matter what Ｉ've done, some people wait for my downfall, saying, "Ｋarl Ｍalone can’t do it.”Ｉnstead of letting people like that get to me, thay are actually my motivation and Ｉ continue to prove them wrong every single day. Ｉ try to do the best job ! can in a positive way on and off the court. Ｉ realize that no matter what Ｉ'm dealing with, there's somebody else out there who has it a little worse off. Ｉ've been there. Ａnd Ｉ know that without continued hard work, Ｉ could be there again.Ｉ am graceful for the life Ｉ've enjoyed as a basketball star. Ｂut when 1 see those shirts that say "Ｂasketball is life,”Ｉ think Ｙeah, right! Ｉt is not life. Ｉt can be exciting. Ｂut the important thing about basketball is that gives me a way to do good things for others as Ｉ move through this jourey called life.Ｓuccess is really about choosing right from wrong, making a positive contribution to the world around you and valuing the things that are really important 一like family and friends.Ｗhile everyone was looking to popular athletes, actors andmusicians as positive role models, my mom was my inspiration, and she contiues to be all these year later. Ｓhe taught me that hard work never killed anybody. Ｍy mom is my hero. Ｓhe， my family and friends bring me more joy than anything else in life does.Ａt the end of my life, Ｉ don't want to be remembered as the kind of person who just sit on his rear end and said, "Ｉ've made it.”Ｉ don't ever want to have to say that Ｉ didn’t gibe it everything that Ｉ've got. Ｓure there are days that Ｉ don't feel like working hard but Ｉ do it anyway, because that who Ｉ am.译文：卡尔·马龙的明星之路当我还是个小男孩的时候，我同我的八个兄弟姐妹在路易斯安娜萨默菲尔德的一个铁皮棚屋中长大。
