前段时间，单位有位大姐拿着一个英语句子问我语法。我非常好奇，一个已经到了中年的妇女居然还在不断学习英语!她说自己坚持学习有6年了，到现在有一万多的词汇量，刚开始的英语底子就是26个英文字母。在日本留学的儿子告诉她，新概念是非常好的教材，他就开始自学新概念，新概念英语读的朗朗上口。我在她办公室桌上看有本新概念英语四，随手拿起来一看，上面密密麻麻全是注释，音标、词义、语法等等写的非常详细，她把新概念的每一个句子都详细的分析过!她说自己学习英语主要是工作以外的时间，办公室有活儿了就抓紧时间把工作做完，因为没有上网、玩游戏的爱好，工作之外的时间就用学英语来“打发”，办公室里有电脑，所以有时也会跟着录音读。

我问她为什么都到中年了还要坚持学外语呢，她回答的很有意思——以后要是当奶奶了，不想让孙子看到自己的奶奶啥都不懂。

一位中年妇女没有任何英语底子，居然可以不为过级，不为升学，毫无功利心的学习英语，年轻的我们会有何感想?大学的时候诵读《道德经》，老子的无为思想我至今无法理解，后来我想这种精心耕耘，不问收获，毫无功利心的去做一件事儿，是不是就是对道家无为思想的一种解释?年轻的我们又该如何?这或许正是她给予我们年轻人的力量和意义!

海伦凯勒的故事：

刚满周岁那年，一天傍晚，母亲趁太阳西下以前，放了一盆热水为海伦凯勒擦洗身子。可是，当母亲自浴盆把海伦凯勒抱了起来，放在膝盖上，正想拿条大毛巾替她包裹身子的时候，海伦凯勒的目光，突然被地板上摇晃不定的树影给吸引了过去。她好奇地看著，看得很入神，眼珠子动也不动一下，而且还忍不住伸长小手扑了过去，好像非得揪住它不可。

当时，母亲虽然已经注意到海伦凯勒的眼神，但是看在母亲的眼里，树影不过是平常又自然的现象，没什?好大惊小怪的。所以，她万万没有想到海伦凯勒会使出这?原劲儿往前倾，结果不小心一溜手，竟让海伦凯勒滑倒在地，哇哇大哭个不停。母亲知道女儿受了惊吓，飞快地将海伦凯勒搂进怀里，连哄带骗了好一阵子，海伦凯勒才安静了下来。

事隔不久，母亲一个人静静回想这件事情发生的经过，她发现海伦凯勒的观察力似乎特别灵敏。通常一个周岁大的婴儿，应该是懵懵懂懂的，对什?事情都没有企图深入了解的倾向，可是海伦凯勒却别有细腻的之思，甚至於想用自己的肢体去感受变化的奇妙。当然，跟大人比起来，海伦凯勒的表现并不成熟，如果跟其他的婴孩相比，可就不能不算特殊了。

而为人父母的，能幸运地生下一个天赋优异的小孩，当然是得意洋洋?！每逢亲朋好友到家里做客，不谈起女儿也就罢了，一旦话题转到海伦凯勒身上，母亲心满意足的喜悦，就会自然而然地从言谈中流露了出来。

但是这份喜悦到底能持续多久呢？当父母亲正兴高采烈畅谈海伦凯勒美好未来的当儿，海伦凯勒却莫名其妙生了一场大病，这场大病不但夺走了父母心中的希望，更使海伦凯勒变成一个看不见、也听不见的小女孩，而且她脾气更暴躁起来！

可怜的海伦凯勒，该如何去面对一个没有光线，没有声音的世界呢？这真是一个令人头痛的问题。通常教育一个五官健全的孩子，已经不是一件轻而易举的事了，更何况海伦凯勒又瞎又聋！也许，父母亲他们可以猜测、也可以想像海伦凯勒的心情，但是他们绝对无法体会，就如同海伦凯勒无法体会正常人的生活一样，他们真的无从体会。

起先，父母亲采用实验的方法，一次又一次地尝试，虽然他们失败过无数次，但是日子久了，也摸索出不少要领，他们除了被动地猜想海伦凯勒的比手画脚，有时也教导海伦凯勒凭藉肢体动作，表达喜怒哀乐。

另外，海伦凯勒也学习运用触觉去感受周遭的事事物物。就这样一点一的累积，四、五年以后，大凡孩子们用眼睛、耳朵能感受的，海伦凯勒都能以触摸的方式领略。只是父母亲不是残障教育的专家，所以海伦凯勒学到的肢体语言，只有父母才看得懂，至于外人可就很难说了。

向来关心女儿的父母亲，也一直挂心这个问题，尤其他们想到自己终有年老体衰的一天，到时候要是海伦凯勒仍然不能跟外人沟通，那海伦凯勒往后的遭遇，将是非常悲惨的。於是，在海伦凯勒七岁那年，他们从外地请来一位受过专门训练的莎利文老师。

莎利文老师跟海伦凯勒很投缘，她们认识没有几天就相处融洽，而且海伦凯勒还从莎利文老师那里学会了认字。

一天，老师在海伦凯勒的手心写了「水」这个字，海伦凯勒不知怎?搞的，总是没法子记下来。老师知道海伦凯勒的困难处在哪儿，她带著海伦凯勒走到喷水池边，要海伦凯勒把小手放在喷水孔下，让清凉的泉水溅溢在海伦凯勒的手上。接著，莎利文老师又在海伦凯勒的手心，写下「水」这个字，从此海伦凯勒就牢牢记住了，再也不会搞不清楚。海伦后来回忆说：“不知怎的，语言的秘密突然被揭开了，我终于知道水就是流过我手心的一种物质。这个喝的字唤醒了我的灵魂，给我以光明、希望、快乐。

不过，莎利文老师认为，光是懂得认字而说不出话来，仍然不方便沟通。可是，从小又聋又瞎的海伦凯勒，一来听不见别人说话的声音，二来看不见别人说话的嘴型，所以，尽管她不是不能说话的哑巴，却也没法子说话。

为了克服这个困难，莎利文老师替海伦凯勒找了一位专家，教导她利用双手去感受别人说话时嘴型的变化，以及鼻腔吸气、吐气的不同，来学习发音。当然，这是一件非常不容易的事，不过，海伦凯勒还是做到了。 盲人作家海伦凯勒，除了突破官能障碍学会说话，更奉献自己的一生，四处为残障人士演讲，鼓励他们肯定自己，立志做一个残而不废的人。海伦凯勒这份爱心，不但给予残障人士十足的信心，更激起各国人士正视残障福利，纷纷设立服务机构，辅助他们健康快乐的过生活。

海伦凯勒的散文代表作《假如给我三天光明》，她以一个身残志坚的柔弱女子的视角，告诫身体健全的人们应珍惜生命，珍惜造物主赐予的一切。此外，本书中收录的《我的人生故事》是海伦凯勒的本自传性作品，被誉为“世界文学史上无与伦比的杰作”。

1968年，海伦88岁去世，她把所有终生致力服务残障人士的事迹，传遍全世界。她写了很多书，她的故事还拍成了电影。莎利文老师把最珍贵的爱给了她，她又把爱散播给所有不幸的人，带给他们希望。死后，因为她坚强的意志和卓越的贡献感动了全世界.并且各地人民都开展了纪念她的活动。

海伦.凯勒，自幼因病成为盲聋哑人，但她自强不息，克服巨大的困难读完大学。一生写了十几部作品，同时致力于救助伤残儿童、保护妇女权益和争取种族平等的社会活动。1964年获总统自由勋章。她的事迹曾两次被拍成电影。

When I was studying in the past, meet with difficulties, to retreat, be deterred by difficult. Read the story of Helen was feeling shake, henceforth in learning, the life, no matter what difficulties I will go to great lengths to solve, to meet difficulties, conquer the difficulties.

As a blind and deaf Helen has done a lot of what was done, she sets a good example to us, is that we found himself forward direction.

我读了《海伦凯勒的故事》的一本书。书中写了主人公海伦凯勒出生不到两年，就丧失了视力与听力，生活在不折不扣的黑暗与寂静中，然而就在这黑暗而又寂莫的世界里，她敢于同命运相抗争， 自强不息，用顽强的毅力学习知识。经过努力奋斗，成为著名作家和教育家。并把自己的一生献给了盲人福利和教育事业，得到了世界各国人民的赞扬和尊敬。

书中特别令我敬佩的是海伦凯勒她那坚强意志和坚忍不拔的精神。从海伦的故事中，我懂了只有努力进取，付出了你才会有收获。以前我在学习的时候，一遇到困难,就退缩了,被困难所吓倒了.读了海伦的故事深受感撼,从今往后在学习上,生活上,无论遇到什么困难我都会去竭尽全力解决,迎困难而上,征服困难.

作为一个聋盲人，海伦却做了很多正常人都完成的事，她给我们树立了一个好的榜样，是我们找到了自己前行的方向。

乡村真美。此时正值夏季，田里的小麦都呈现金黄色而燕麦依然青绿。干草被堆放在低洼的草地上，广阔的树林围绕着

田野和草地，树林的中央有多处深邃的湖泊，在阳光最充足的地方矗立着一栋老旧的大宅邸。这栋宅邸被一条深长的壕沟所包围，茂盛的

叶子从这栋房子干部上的藤蔓往下长，延伸到河水的边缘。其中有一些叶子很大，小孩子可以拿它们来当雨伞。

在森林的深处有一只母鸭子坐在她的巢中，她的小鸭子们即将孵出来。

终于蛋一个接一个地开始裂了。 “吱，吱！”小鸭们叫着。“呱，呱！”母鸭回道。“这个世界好大啊！”小鸭子异口同声道。

The countryside was lovely. It was summer. The wheat was golden and the oats were still

green. The hay was stacked in the low-lying meadows. There lay great woods around the fields and meadows.

There were deep lakes in the midst of the woods. In the sunniest spot stood an old mansion surrounded by a deep moat.

Great leaves grew from the vines on the walls of the house right down to the waters edge.

Some of the leaves were so big that a child could use them as an umbrella.

In the depths of a forest a duck was sitting in her nest. Her little ducklings were about to be hatched.

At last one egg after another began to crack." Cheep, cheep!" the ducklings said." Quack, quack!" said the duck.

" How big the world is!" said all the young ones.

但最大的蛋依旧在那儿，于是她又再坐回她的巢中。

一只年长的鸭子过来拜访她说：“喂！你近来可好吗？”坐着的母鸭回答说：“这枚蛋花了很长的时间，

壳偏偏还不裂开，不过其他的小鸭都是最完美的鸭子，他们很像他们的爸爸。”

年长的鸭子说：“让我看看那枚不会裂开的蛋，你或许是坐在一枚火鸡的蛋上！我曾经像那样被骗过一次。不错，那是火鸡的蛋！

你最好不要管它，去教其它的小鸭游泳吧。”

“我要再多坐一会儿。”

But the biggest egg was still there. And then she settled herself on the nest again.

"Well, how are you getting on?" said an old duck who came to pay her a visit." This egg is taking such a long time," answered the sitting duck."

The shell will not crack, but the others are the finest ducklings. They are like their father."

"let me look at the egg which wont crack," said the old duck." You may be sitting on a turkeys egg!

I have been cheated like that once. Yes. its a turkeys egg!

You had better leave it alone and teach the other children to swim."

"I will sit on it a little longer."

终于这枚巨蛋裂开了。这小子可真是又大又丑！她说：“那是一只非常巨大的鸭子，其他的小鸭没有一只看起来像他一样。

他会是火鸡的孩子吗？我会尽快查清楚，我将叫他下水去。”

隔天这只母鸭带着她的一家人走到壕沟。

她跳入水中，“呱，呱，”她说，小鸭们一只接一只地跳进河里。

这只又大又丑的鸭子跟着他们一起游来游去，她说：“不是的，那不是火鸡。呱，呱！现在跟我来，我将带你们去参观这个世界，

要一直靠近我并小心猫！”第一天过去了，一切都还顺利。

At last the big egg cracked. How big and ugly the baby was! " That is a very big duckling." she said,

" None of the others look like that. Can he be a turkeys chick?

I will soon find out. I will make him go into water."

The next day the mother duck with her family went down to the moat. She said, and one duckling jumped in after another.

The big ugly one swam about with them." No, that is no turkey," she said," Quack, quack! Now come with me

and I will take you into the world. Keep close to me all the time. Be careful of the cat!"

The first day passed, and everything was fine.

之后，事情愈来愈糟。这只可怜的小鸭被所有的小鸭追逐和骚扰，因为他长得很丑。大鸭们咬他，母鸡们啄他，

而喂食他们的女孩把他踢到旁边去。于是他离家出走，不久就来到一片野鸭住的广阔沼泽。

他双疲倦又痛苦，因此他整晚都在那里。

早上这群野鸭们飞来看他们的新朋友。这些野鸭说：“你长得非常丑，但那对我们来说无所谓。”他在那里整整待了两天，

然后有两只野雁飞过来。就在那个时候，他听到“砰！砰！”的声音，那两只野雁摔落在芦苇丛中死了。

对这只可怜的小鸭子来说，那是一项很可怕的冲击。

Afterwards, matters grew worse and worse. The poor duckling was chased and harassed by all the ducklings because he was very ugly.

The ducks bit him, the hens pecked him. and the girl who fed them kicked him aside. Then he ran off and soon came to a great marsh where the wild ducks lived.

He was so tired and miserable that he stayed there the whole night.

In the morning the wild ducks flew up to see their new friend." You are very ugly," said the wild ducks," but that does not matter to us."

He stayed there two whole days . And then two wild geese came.

Just at that moment the sound of "Bang! Bang!" was heard, and both the wild geese fell dead among the reeds.

It was a terrible shock to the poor duckling.

一只巨大的狗出现在他的身边，离他很近。这只狗露出锐利的牙齿，继续往前走，没有碰他。

这只小鸭叹息说：“哦，谢谢老天爷！我是这么丑，因此连狗都不会咬我！”

晚上他来到一间小屋。这间小屋住着一位老婆婆和她的猫及母鸡。她的视力不好，以为这只小鸭是一只肥鸭。

她说：“要是我有了鸭蛋，我就发财了，”因此她留这只小鸭住了3个星期，但他并没有下蛋。

这只猫是这间房子的主人，而这只母鸡是女主人。

A big dog appeared close beside him. He showed his sharp teeth and went on without touching him.

"Oh, thank Heaven! I am so ugly that even the dog wont bite me!"

sighed the duckling.

In the evening he reached a little cottage where an old woman lived with her cat and her hen.

Her eyesight was not good, and she thought the duckling was a fat duck.

"I will be rich if I have duck eggs," she said.

So she took in the duckling for three weeks, but he laid no eggs.The cat was the master of the house

and the hen was the mistress.

母鸡说：“你能不能下蛋呢？”

小鸭回答说：“不能。”

这只猫说：“那么你最好离开到外面广阔的世界去。”就这样这只小鸭离开了。

有一天晚上，太阳刚刚下山，此时有一群漂亮的大鸟从矮树丛飞出来。

小鸭心想：“我从来没有看过这么漂亮的东西。”

"Can you lay eggs?" asked the hen.

"No," answered the duckling.

"Then you had better go out into the wide world," said the cat. So away went the duckling.

One evening the sun was just setting when a flock of beautiful large birds appeared out of the bushes.

The duckling thought," Ive never seen anything so beautiful."

他们有长长的脖子，全身是令人眩目的白色。他们是天鹅，他并不知道这些鸟是什么鸟。

冬天非常地寒冷刺骨，因此这只小鸭在水中游来游去以免冻僵了。

太阳又开始温暖地照耀着，云雀在歌唱，美丽的春天已经来临了。突然这只小鸭举起他的翅膀， 而翅膀拍动的力气要比以前大，

不知不觉中，他发觉自己已置身在一座巨大的花园里，花园里的苹果树开满了花，紫丁香长长的枝桠垂挂在湖岸边。

就在他的面前，他看到三只美丽的白天鹅向他游过来。

They were dazzlingly white with long necks. They were swans.

He did not know what the birds were.

The winter was so bitterly cold that the duckling swam about in the water to keep himself from freezing.

The sun began to shine warmly again. The larks were singing and beautiful spring had come.

Then, all at once, the duckling raised his wings and they flapped with much greater strength than before.

Before he knew it, he found himself in a large garden where the apple trees were in

full blossom and long branches of lilacs overhung the shores of the lake.

Just in front of him he saw three beautiful white swans swimming towards him.

“我将朝他们飞去而他们将会把我劈成粉碎，因为我长得非常丑。

不过没有关系，我宁愿被他们杀死也不愿被那些鸭子咬或是被那些母鸡啄。”

因此他飞入水中朝这些天鹅游过去，他们看到他就向他冲过来。

“杀死我吧，噢，杀死我吧！”可怜的小鸭说着朝水中低头，等待死亡的来临。

但他在清澈的水中看到什么样了呢？

"I will fly to them and they will hack me to pieces because I am so ugly.

But it doesnt matter. I would rather be killed by them than be bitten by the ducks or pecked by the hens."

So he flew into the water and swam towards the swans. They saw him and darted towards him.

"Kill me! Oh, kill me!" said the poor duckling,

and he waited for his death bowing his head towards the water.

But what did he see in the clear water? He was no longer a dark gray ugly bird.

他不再是只黑灰丑陋的鸟，他竟然是一只天鹅！

有些小孩手拿玉米和面包来到这个花园，将这些东西投入水中。

个子最小的那个孩子兴高采烈地大叫：“有一只新来的天鹅。”其他的孩子大叫：

“对啊！来了一只新的。”

他对着自己说：“当我是那只丑小鸭的时候，我从来也没梦想过我能够这么快乐！”

He was himself a swan!

Some children came into the garden with corn and pieces of bread, which they threw into the water.

The smallest child shouted with joy," There is a new one."

The other children shouted, "Yes, a new one has come."

He said to himself,

" I never dreamed that I could be so happy when I was the ugly duckling!"

Helen Keller once wrote about these early days.

One beautiful spring morning I was alone in my room, reading. Suddenly a wonderful smell in the air made me get up and put out my hands . The spirit of spring seemed to be passing in my room. "What is it?"I asked. The next minute I knew it was coming from mimosa tree outside. I walked outside to the edge of the garden, toward the tree. There it was, shaking in the warm sunshine. Its long branches, so heavy with flowers, almost touched the ground. I walked through the flowers to the tree itself and then just stood silent. Then I put my foot on the tree and pulled myself up into it. I climbed higher and higher until I reached a little seat. Long ago someone had put it there. I sat for a long time... Nothing in all the world was like this.

Later Helen learned that nature could be cruel as well as beautiful. Strangely enough she discovery this in a different kind of tree.

One day my teacher and I were returning from a long walk. It was a fine morning but it started to get warm and heavy. We stopped to rest two or three times. Our last stop was under a cherry tree, a short way from our house. The shade was nice and the tree was easy to climb. Miss Sullivan climbed with me. It was so coot up in the tree, we decided to have lunch there. I promised to sit still until she went to the house for some food. Suddenly a change came over the tree. I knew the sky was black because all the heat which meant light to me had died out of the air. A strange odor came up to me from the earth . I knew it. It was the odor which always comes before a thunder storm. I felt alone, cut off from friends, high above the firm earth. I was frightened and wanted my teacher. wanted to get down from that tree quickly, but I was no help to myself. There was a moment of terrible silence. Then a sudden and violent wind began to shake the tree and its leaves kept coming down all around me. I almost fell. I wanted to jump, but was afraid to do so. I tried to make myself small in the tree as the branches rubbed against me. Just us I thought that both the tree and I were going to fall, a hand touched me . It was my teacher. I held her with all my strength, then shook with joy to feel the solid earth under my feet.

Miss Sullivan stayed with Helen for many year. She taught Helen how to read, how to write and how to speak. She helped her to get ready for school and college. More than anything, Helen wanted to do what others did, and do it just as well. In time Helen did go to college and completed her studies with high honors. But it was a hard struggle. Few of the books she needed were written in the Braille language that the blind could read by touching pages. Miss Sullivan and others had to teach her what was in these books by forming words in her hands. The study of geometry and physics was especially difficult. Helen could only learn about squares, triangles and other geometrical forms by making them with wires. She kept feeling the different shapes of these wires until she could see them in her mind.

During her second year college Miss Keller wrote the story of her life and what a college meant to her. This is what she wrote.

My first day at Radcliffe college was of great interest. Some powerful force inside me made me test my mind. I wanted to learn if it was as good as that of others. I learned many things at college. One thing I slowly learned was that knowledge does not just mean power, as some people say. Knowledge leads to happiness because to have it is to know what is true and real. To know what great man of the past had thought, said, and done is to feel the heartbeat of humanity down through the ages.

All of Helen Kellers knowledge reached her mind through her sense of touch and smell, and of course her feelings. To know a flower was to touch it, feel it and smell it. This sense of touch became greatly developed as she got older. She once said that hands speak almost as loudly as words. She said the touch of some hands frightened her. The people seemed so empty of joy that when she touched their cold fingers it is as if she were shaking bands with a storm. She found the hands of others full of sunshine and warmth. Strangely enough Helen Keller learned to love things she could not hear, music for example. She did this through her sense of touch. When waves of air beat against her, she felt them. Sometimes she put her hand to a singers throat. She often stood for hours with her hands on a piano while it was played. Once she listened to an organ. Its powerful songs made her moved her body in rhythm with the music. She also liked to go to museums. She thought she understood sculptures as well as others. Her fingers told her the true size and the feel of the material.

What did Helen Keller think of herself, what did she think about the tragic lost of her sight and hearing. This is what she wrote as a young girl.

Sometimes a sense of loneliness covers me like a cold mist. I sit alone, and wait at life s shut-door. Beyond there is light and music and sweet friendship. But I may not enter. Silence sits heavy upon my soul. Then comes hope with a sweet smile and said

softly " There is joy in forgetting oneself And so I tried to make the light in others eyes my sun, the music in others ears my symphony, the smile on others lips my happiness.

Helen Keller was tall and strong. When she spoke, her face looked very alive. It helped to give meaning to her words. She often felt the faces of close friends when she was talking to them to discover their feelings. She and Miss Sullivan both were known for their sense of humor. They enjoyed jokes and laughing at funny things that happened to themselves or others. Helen Keller had to work hard to support herself after she finished college. She spoke to many groups around the country. She wrote several books and she made one movie based on her life. Her main goal was to increase public interest in the difficulties of people with physical problems. The work Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan did has been written and talked about for many years. Their success showed how people can conquer great difficulties. Anne Sullivan died in 1936, blind herself. Before Miss Sullivan died, Helen wrote and said many kind things about her.

It was the genius of my teacher, her sympathy, her love which made my first years of education so beautiful. My teacher is so near to me that I do not think of myself as a part from her. All the best of me belongs to her. Everything I am today was awakened by her loving touch .

Helen Keller died on June 1st, 1968. She was 87 year old. Her message of courage and hope remains.

Sam is a little fish. He lives in the sea. He is very lonely. He wants to have a friend. The friend looks like him. Sam sees an ink fish. The ink fish has eight legs. He doesn’t look like Sam. So Sam goes away.

Sam meets a shark. He wants to say hello to the shark. The shark opens his big mouth. Sam runs away quickly.

Sam is tired and hungry. He wants to have a rest. Then he sees a round fish. She says to him. “Hello! Would you like to be my friend?”

Sam answers: “Of course! But you are round. I am flat.” The round fish days: “But we are both fishes.”

Sam thinks and says, “You are right. Let’s be friends.” They become good friends.

海伦·凯勒是美国著名的女作家，下面是小编整理的关于海伦凯勒的简短故事，欢迎阅读！

海伦·凯勒是美国著名作家和教育家。一八八二年，在她一岁多的时候，因为发高烧，脑部受到伤害，从此以后，她的眼睛看不到，耳朵听不到，后来，连话也说不出来了。她在黑暗中摸索着长大。

七岁那一年，家里为她请了一位家庭教师，也就是影响海伦一生的苏利文老师。苏利文在小时候眼睛也差点失明，了解失去光明的痛苦。在她辛苦的指导下，海伦用手触摸学会手语，摸点字卡学会了读书，后来用手摸别人的嘴唇，终於学会说话了。

苏利文老师为了让海伦接近大自然，让她在草地上打滚，在田野跑跑跳跳，在地里埋下种子，爬到树上吃饭；还带她去摸一摸刚出生的小猪，也到河边去玩水。海伦在老师爱的关怀下，竟然克服失明与失聪的障碍，完成了大学学业。

一天，老师在海伦凯勒的手心写了“‘water’水”这个词，海伦·凯勒总是把“杯”和“水”混为一谈。到后来，她不耐烦了，把老师给她的新洋娃娃摔坏了。但莎莉文老师并没有对海伦放弃，她带着海伦凯勒走到喷水池边，要海伦凯勒把小手放在喷水孔下，让清凉的泉水溅溢在海伦凯勒的手上。接着，莎莉文老师又在海伦凯勒的手心，写下‘water’“水”这个字，从此海伦·凯勒就牢牢记住了，再也不会搞不清楚。海伦后来回忆说：“不知怎的，语言的秘密突然被揭开了，我终于知道水就是流过我手心的一种物质。这个喝的字唤醒了我的灵魂，给我以光明、希望、快乐。

不过，莎莉文老师认为，光是懂得认字而说不出话来，仍然不方便沟通。可是，从小又聋又瞎的海伦·凯勒，一来听不见别人说话的声音，二来看不见别人说话的嘴型，所以，尽管她不是不能说话的哑巴，却也没法子说话。

为了克服这个困难，莎莉文老师替海伦·凯勒找了一位专家，教导她利用双手去感受别人说话时嘴型的变化，以及鼻腔吸气、吐气的不同，来学习发音。当然，这是一件非常不容易的事，不过，海伦·凯勒还是做到了。盲人作家海伦·凯勒，除了突破功能障碍学会说话，更奉献自己的一生，四处为残障人士演讲，鼓励他们肯定自己，立志做一个残而不废的人。海伦·凯勒这份爱心，不但给予残障人士十足的信心，更激起各国人士正视残障福利，纷纷设立服务机构，辅助他们健康快乐地过生活。

1968年，海伦87岁去世，她终生致力服务残障人士的事迹，传遍全世界。她写了很多书，她的故事还拍成了电影。莎莉文老师把最珍贵的爱给了她，她又把爱散播给所有不幸的人，带给他们希望。死后，因为她坚强的意志和卓越的贡献感动了全世界。并且各地人民都开展了纪念她的活动。

海伦凯特的简介

海伦·凯勒（1880年6月27日至1968年6月1日)，19世纪美国女作家、教育家、慈善家、社会活动家。享年88岁。

87年生活在无声、无光的世界中。在十九个月时因患脑充血和胃充血而导致双目失明，双耳失聪。她完成了一系列著作，并致力于为残疾人造福，建立慈善机构，1964年荣获“总统自由勋章”，次年被美国《时代周刊》评为二十世纪美国十大英雄偶像之一。主要著作有《假如给我三天光明》《我的生活》《再塑生命》等。她的《再塑生命》节选进人教版语文教材八年级下册，《假如给我三天光明》节选进苏教版高中语文教材必修二、苏教版语文教材五年级下册第九课和上海版语文教材六年级第九课，北师大版六年级下册《伟大的日子》。

《假如给我三天光明》是美国当代著名作家海伦·凯勒的代表作。该书的前半部分主要写了海伦变成盲聋人后的生活，后半部分则介绍了海伦的求学生涯。同时也介绍她体会不同的丰富多彩的生活以及她的慈善活动等等。她以一个身残志坚的柔弱女子的视角，告诫身体健全的人们应珍惜生命，珍惜造物主赐予的一切。此外，本书中收录的《我的人生故事》是海伦·凯勒的自传性作品，被称为“世界文学史上无与伦比的杰作”。

海伦凯勒（Helen Adams Keller，1880年6月27日～1968年6月1日)，是美国一位残障教育家。 她生于美国亚拉巴马州，父亲亚瑟是位南方邦联老兵。她在19个月大时因为一次高烧而引致失明及失聪。后来籍着她的导师波土顿柏金斯盲人学校老师安沙利文 （Anne Sullivan）的努力，使她学会说话，并开始和其他人沟通。1898年，海伦凯勒考入了哈佛大学附属剑桥女子学校。1900年秋，再考进哈佛大学的雷地克里夫学院，这对于一个失明和失聪的人而言，可说是教人难以置信。最后于1904年，海伦凯勒成功取得文学学士学位，而且成绩优异。而这么多年来沙利文老师则一直留在海伦凯勒身边，并将教科书与上课内容写在海伦凯勒的手掌上，让凯勒能了解其内容，可说是对海伦凯勒不离不弃，因此海伦凯勒一生均十分感激她。 从1902年4月开始，她又在莎利文老师的帮助下，开始在美国的一家杂志上连载她的自传《我的一生》（又译《我生活的故事》）（The Story of My Life）。第二年结集出版后轰动了美国文坛，甚至被誉为1902年世界文学上最重要的两大贡献之一。

在幼年时就丧失了视觉和听力确凭借顽强的意志力多次出版书籍这就是被人们成为残疾人的骄傲的：海伦-凯勒女士，下面让我们一起走进她的故事。

美国盲聋女作家、教育家海伦·凯勒一岁半时因病丧失了视觉和听力，这对于一般人来说是不可想象、不可忍受的痛苦。然而海伦并没有向命运屈服。在老师的教育、帮助下，她凭坚强的毅力战胜了病残，学会了讲话，用手指听话并掌握了5种文字。24岁时，她以优异的成绩毕业于著名的哈佛大学拉德克利夫女子学院。以后她把毕生的精力投入到为世界盲人、聋人谋利益的事业中，曾受到许多国家政府、人民的赞誉和嘉奖。1959年，联合国曾发起海伦·凯勒运动。她写的自传作品《我生活的故事》，成为英语文学的经典作品，被翻译成多种文字广泛发行。

启示：是海伦成功的根本是敢于正视人生的疾苦和磨难。正是如此，她才成了全世界残疾人的精神代表，成了残疾人的骄傲。同时也是我们学习的榜样。

Snow-white

Once there was a Queen. She was sitting at the window. There was snow outside in the garden-snow on the hill and in the lane, snow on the hunts and on the trees: all things were white with snow.

The Queen was making a coat for a little child. She said, "I want my child to be white as this cloth, white as the snow. And I shall call her Snow-white."

Some days after that the Queen had a child. The child was white as snow. The Queen called her Snow-white.

But the Queen was very ill, and after some days she died. Snow-white lived, and was a very happy and beautiful child.

One year after that, the King married another Queen. The new Queen was very beautiful; but she was not a good woman.

A wizard had given this Queen a glass. The glass could speak. It was on the wall in the Queens room. Every day the queen looked in the glass to see how beautiful she was. As she looked in the glass, she asked: "Tell me, glass upon the wall, who is most beautiful of all?" And the glass spoke and said: "The Queen is most beautiful of all."

Year went by. Snow-white grew up and became a little girl. every day the Queen looked in the glass and said, "Tell me, glass upon the wall, who is most beautiful of all?" And the glass said, "Snow-white is most beautiful of all."

When the Queen heard this, she was very angry. She said, "Snow-white is not more beautiful than I am. There is no one who is more beautiful than I am."

Then the Queen sat on her bed and cried.

After one hour the Queen went out of her room. She called one of the servants, and said, "Take Snow-white into the forest and kill her."

The servant took Snow-white to the forest, but he did not kill her, because she was so beautiful and so good. He said, "I shall not kill you; but do not go to the Kings house, because the Queen is angry and she will see you. If the Queen sees you, she will make some other man kill you. Wait here in the forest; some friends will help you." Then he went away.

Poor Snow-white sat at the foot of a tree and cried. Then she saw that night was coming. She said, "I will not cry. I will find some house where I can sleep tonight. I cannot wait here: the bears will eat me."

She went far into the forest. Then she saw a little hut. She opened the door of the hut, and went in. In the hut she saw seven little beds. There was a table, and on the table there were seven little loaves and seven little glasses. She ate one of the loaves. Then she said, "I want some water to drink." So she drank some water out of one of the glasses. Then she fell asleep on one of the seven little beds.

The hut was the home of seven Little Men. When it was night, the seven Little Men came to the hut. Each Little Man had a big beard, and a little blue coat. Each Little Man came into the hut, and took his little lamp. Then each Little Man sat down, and ate his little loaf, and drank his little glass of water.

But one Little Man said, "Someone has eaten my little loaf." And another Little Man said, "Someone has drunk my little glass of water." Then the seven Little Men went to bed, but one Little Man said, "Someone is sleeping on my little bed." All the seven Little Men came to look at Snow-white as she slept on the Little Mens bed. They said, "She is very beautiful."

Snow-white awoke, and saw the seven Little Men with their big beards standing near her bed. She was afraid. The Little men said, "Do not be afraid. We are your friends. Tell us how you came here." Snow-white said, "I will tell you." Then she told them her story.

They said, "Do not be afraid. Live here with us. But see that the door shut when we are not in the house with you. Do not go out. If you go out, the bad Queen will find you. Then she will know that you are not dead, and will tell someone to kill you." So Snow-white lived in the hut with the seven Little Men.

After some days Snow-white went into the garden. One of the Queens servants was going through the forest, and he saw her. He went and told the Queen, "Snow-white is in a hut in the forest." The Queen was very angry when she heard that Snow-white was not dead.

The Queen took an apple. She made a hole in the red side of the apple, and put some powder into the hole. Then she put on old clothes and went to the hut. She called, "Is any one there?" Snow-white opened the door, and came out to her. The Queen said, "I have some pretty apples. Eat one of my pretty apples." Snow-white took the apple and said, "Is it good?" The Queen said, "See, I will eat this white side of the apple; you eat the red side. Then you will know that it is good."

Snow-white ate the red side of the apple. When the powder was in her mouth, she fell down dead. The Queen went back to her house. She went into her room. she looked into the glass and said, "Tell me, glass upon the wall, who is most beautiful of all?" The glass said, "The Queen is most beautiful of all." Then the Queen know that Snow-white was dead.

The Little Men came back to the hut. When they saw that Snow-white was dead, the poor Little Men cried. Then they put Snow-white in a box made of glass. They took the glass box to a hill and put it there, and said, "Everyone who goes by will see how beautiful she was." Then each Little Man put one white flower on the box, and they went away.

Just as they were going away, a Prince came by. He saw the glass box and said, "What is that?" Then he saw Snow-white in the box. He said, "She was very beautiful: but do not put her there. There is a hall in the garden of my fathers house. It is all made of white stone. We will take the glass box and put it in the hall of beautiful white stone."

The Little Men said, "Take her." Then the Prince told his servants to take up the box. They took up the box. Just then one of the servants fell down. The box fell, and Snow-white fell with the box. The bit of apple fell out of her mouth: she awoke, and sat up, and said, "Where am I?"

The Prince said, "You are with me. I never saw anyone as beautiful as you. Come with me and be my Queen."

The Prince married Snow-white, and she became his Queen.

A man went and told this to the bad Queen. When she heard it she was so angry that she fell down dead.

Snow-white lived and was very happy ever after. And the Little Men came to see her every year.

白雪公主

从前，有一个王后，她坐在窗户旁。窗外的花园里积满了雪，山上是雪，小路上是雪，树上和屋顶上也积着雪，万物一片白茫茫。她手中拿着些布和一枚针，她手中的不就像雪一样洁白。王后正在为小孩做一件上衣，她说：“我想我的孩子能够像这布一样白，想雪一样白，我要叫她白雪公主。”

几天之后，王后生了个小孩，这个孩子白得像雪一样，王后给她取名为“白雪公主”。但是，王后得了重病，几天以后就去世了。白雪公主活了下来，她是一个十分幸福和美丽的孩子。

王后去世一年以后，国王又娶了一位王后。新王后十分漂亮，但是，她不是一个善良的女人。一个巫师给了新王后一面镜子，这面镜子会说话，它挂在王后房间的墙上，每天王后照着镜子，欣赏自己多么漂亮。当她照镜子的时候，她问：“告诉我，墙上的魔镜，谁是世界上最漂亮的人？”于是魔镜开口说道：“王后是世界上最漂亮的。”

过了数年，白雪公主长成大人了。当白雪公主是一个年轻姑娘时，有一天，王后照着镜子说：“告诉我，墙上的魔镜，谁是世界上最漂亮的？”魔镜说：“白雪公主是世界上最漂亮的。”

当王后听到这些话时，非常恼怒，她说：“白雪公主没有我漂亮，没有一个人比我更漂亮。”然后，王后坐在床上哭了。一小时后，王后从她的房间走出来，她叫来一个仆人说：“把白雪公主带到森林中杀掉。”

仆人带着白雪公主到了森林，但他没有杀死她，因为她太美丽太善良了。他说：“我不会杀死你的，但是，你不能回王宫，因为，王后很生气，她会看到你的。如果王后发现你，她会让别人杀死你的。你就呆在森林里，会有朋友来帮助你的。”然后，他走了。

可怜的白雪公主坐在一棵树底下哭了，这时，她看到天快黑了，她说：“我不哭了，我要找所房子今晚好睡觉，我不能呆在这儿了，熊会吃了我的。”她往森林深处走去，这时，她发现了一座小屋，她打开小屋的门，走了进去。在小屋里，她看到七张小床，还有一张桌子，桌子上有七块小面包和七个小杯子。她吃了其中一块面包，然后说：“我想喝点水。”于是，她又喝了一个杯子中的一些水。之后，她躺在一张小床上睡着了。

这座小屋是七个小矮人的家。当天黑下来的时候，七个小矮人回到小屋。每个小矮人都留着一副大胡子，穿一件小蓝上衣。小矮人进了小屋，每个人都点上他们的小灯，然后，小矮人都坐下，开始吃面包，喝小杯里的水。

但是，一个小矮人说：“有人把我小面包吃了。”另一个小矮人说：“有人把我的小杯子里的水喝了。”然后，七个小矮人去睡觉。可是一个小矮人说：“有人正睡在我的小床上。”七个小矮人都过来看睡在小矮人床上的白雪公主。他们说：“她真漂亮。”

白雪公主醒了，发现七个留着大胡子的小矮人正站在她床旁，她很害怕。小矮人们说：“别害怕，我们是你的好朋友，告诉我们你是怎么来这儿的。”白雪公主说：“我告诉你们。”接着她就给他们讲述了自己的经历。他们说：“不要害怕。就在这儿和我们住在一起，但是，我们不在家的时候，你一定要关上门，千万别出去。如果你出去了，坏王后会发现你，这样，她知道你没有死，会让人来杀死你。”于是，白雪公主和七个小矮人在这座小屋里生活着。

几天以后，白雪公主去了一趟花园。王后的一个仆人正经过这片森林，他发现了阿。他回去告诉了王后：“白雪公主在森林的一座小屋里。”王后听说白雪公主没有死，十分恼火。

王后拿来一个苹果，她在苹果红的一边挖了一个洞，把一些毒的粉末放在这个洞里。然后，她穿上一身旧衣服，去了小屋。她喊：“屋里有人吗？”白雪公主打开门，出来见她。王后说：“我有一些漂亮的苹果，吃一个尝尝吧？”白雪公主拿着苹果说：“这好吃吗？”王后说：“瞧，我吃苹果白的一半，你吃红的一半，你会知道它味道不错。”白雪公主吃了苹果红的一半，当粉末进入她嘴里时，她倒下去死了。

王后回到家，进了自己的房间，对着镜子说：“告诉我，墙上的魔镜，谁是世界上最漂亮的。”魔镜说：“王后是世界上最漂亮的。”于是，王后知道白雪公主已经死了。

小矮人们回到小屋，发现白雪公主死了。可怜的小矮人们全都哭了。然后，他们把白雪公主放进玻璃棺材里，并把它抬到山坡上，安放在那里，说：“每位经过这里的人都会看见她是多么美丽。”接着每个小矮人在棺材上放了一朵白花，然后离开了。

他们刚刚要离开，一位王子从此经过，他看着玻璃棺材说：“那是什么？”这时，他发现白雪公主躺在里面，他说：“她太美丽了，把能把她放在这里，在父亲的王宫里有一座大厅，整个大厅都是用白石头砌成，我们把玻璃棺材搬到那所漂亮的白石大厅里。”小矮人们说：“抬走她吧。”

然后，王子告诉他的仆人抬起棺材。他们抬起它时，不巧一个仆人跌倒了。把棺材也摔到地上，白雪公主随同棺材跌了下来，那块苹果从她嘴里掉了出来，她醒了过来，坐起来说：“我这是在哪儿？”王子说：“你跟我在一起，我从来没有见过一位像你这么美丽的人，跟我来，做我的王后吧。”王子和白雪公主结婚了，她成了王后。

一个人去把这些消息告诉了坏王后，当她听到这些，气得倒下死去了。从那以后，白雪公主一直生活得很幸福。每年小矮人们都来看她。

伦?凯勒1880年出生于亚拉巴马州北部一个叫塔斯喀姆比亚的城镇。在她一岁半的时候，一场重病夺去了她的视力和听力，接着，她又丧失了语言表达能力。然而就在这黑暗而又寂寞的世界里，她竟然学会了读书和说话，并以优异的成绩毕业于美国拉德克利夫学院，成为一个学识渊博，掌握英、法、德、拉丁、希腊五种文字的著名作家和教育家。她走遍美国和世界各地，为盲人学校募集资金，把自己的一生献给了盲人福利和教育事业。她赢得了世界各国人民的赞扬，并得到许多国家政府的嘉奖。

一个聋盲人要脱离黑暗走向光明，最重要的是要学会认字读书。而从学会认字到学会阅读，更要付出超乎常人的毅力。海伦是靠手指来观察老师莎莉文小姐的嘴唇，用触觉来领会她喉咙的颤动、嘴的运动和面部表情，而这往往是不准确的。她为了使自己能够发好一个词或句子，要反复的练习，海伦从不在失败面前屈服。

海伦在大学学习时，许多教材都没有盲文本，要靠别人把书的内容拼写在她手上，因此她在预习功课的时间上要比别的同学多得多。当别的同学在外面嬉戏、唱歌的时候，她却在花费很多时间努力备课。

海伦用顽强的毅力克服生理缺陷所造成的精神痛苦。她热爱生活，会骑马、滑雪、下棋，还喜欢戏剧演出，喜爱参观博物馆和名胜古迹，并从中得到知识。她21岁时，和老师合作发表了她的处女作《我生活的故事》。在以后的60多年中她共写下了14部著作。

海伦·凯勒是美国着名作家和教育家。一八八二年，在她一岁多的时候，因为发高烧，脑部受到伤害，从此以后，她的眼睛看不到，耳朵听不到，后来，连话也说不出来了。她在黑暗中摸索着长大。

七岁那一年，家里为她请了一位家庭教师，也就是影响海伦一生的苏利文老师。苏利文在小时候眼睛也差点失明，了解失去光明的痛苦。在她辛苦的指导下，海伦用手触摸学会手语，摸点字卡学会了读书，后来用手摸别人的嘴唇，终於学会说话了。

苏利文老师为了让海伦接近大自然，让她在草地上打滚，在田野跑跑跳跳，在地里埋下种子，爬到树上吃饭;还带她去摸一摸刚出生的小猪，也到河边去玩水。海伦在老师爱的关怀下，竟然克服失明与失聪的障碍，完成了大学学业。

一九三六年，和她朝夕相处五十年的老师离开人间，海伦非常的伤心。海伦知道，如果没有老师的爱，就没有今天的她，决心要把老师给她的爱发扬光大。於是，海伦跑遍美国大大小小的城市，周游世界，为残障的人到处奔走，全心全力为那些不幸的人服务。

The gorillas in the valleys in the south often lived together in groups of several tens. They were fond of drinking wine, and even fonder of imitating mans behavior.

People knew very well their habits and often put wine or distillers grains on the roadside together with many straw sandals connected together with ropes.

The gorillas knew this was a trick to lure3 them into traps and cursed:"Humph! Do you think we dont know your tricks? Well never be taken in!"

So they called one another, turned round and left.

But they had already smelled the aroma of the wine, and couldnt bear to part with it. Even after they left, they would turn their heads to look back. When they saw no one there, they would turn back; and after they turned back, they were afraid of being deceived, and left again. After much hesitation5, they finally said to themselves: "Just for a taste of the wine. It wont matter as long as we dont get drunk."

Shortly afterwards, they agreed to come back to drink the wine. When they got drunk, they forgot everything. Every gorilla1 put on the straw sandals and imitated the way man walks.

As a result, they fell down one after another and were all caught alive by people.

忘乎所以

南方山谷里的猩猩，常常数十成群地生活在一起。它们喜欢喝酒，更喜欢模仿人的行为。

人们掌握了它们的习性，经常把酒或酒糟放在路边，旁边又放着许多草鞋，草鞋用绳索连接起来。

猩猩知道这是人们引诱它们上当，便破口大骂：“哼!你们以为我们不知道吗?我们决不上你们的当!”

于是，互相招呼，回头就走。

但是，它们已经闻到了酒香，总有点恋恋不舍，就是走了，也要回过头来望望。回头望不见人，便又转过来;转过来了又怕上当，再返身回去。犹豫了好久，它们最后自言自语地说：“去尝尝味道，不喝醉就不碍事。”

不一会儿，大家同意了，都回来喝酒。等到喝醉的时候，它们一切都忘记了，一个个穿上草鞋，学着人走路。

结果，一个个都跌倒了，统统被人活捉。

英语寓言小故事：The Wolf and the Lamba

Wolf, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea, which should justify to the Lamb himself his right to eat him. He thus addressed him:"Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf, "You feed in my pasture."

"No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother′s milk is both food and drink to me." On which the Wolf seized him, and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won′t remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.

狼和小羊

一只狼瞧见一只迷路失群的小羊，决定暂缓下毒手，想先找一些理由，对小羊证明自己有吃它的权利。它就说：「小鬼!你去年曾经骂过我。」小羊可怜地说：「老实说，我去年还没有出生呢。」狼再说：「你在我的草地上吃过草。」

小羊回答说：「不，好先生，我还未曾尝过草的味道呢。」狼又说：「你喝过我井里的水。」小羊叫道：「不，我从没有喝过水，因为直到今天为止，我都是吃着母亲的奶汁。」狼一听这话，便抓住它，把它吃下去，便说：「好!即使你驳倒我每一句话，我终究要吃晚餐的!」暴君总有他暴行的借口。

35、面对光明，阴影就在我们身后--海伦凯勒

36、每当我想到这里，心里就不禁大大地感慨一番，命运真是无法预知啊!

37、仅仅靠触觉就能感受到这么多的幸福，那么，如果能看见，我会发现多少更美好的东西啊!

38、坚定的信心，能使平凡的人们，做出惊人的事业。对于凌驾命运之上的人来说，信心就是生命的主宰。

39、黑暗将使人更加珍惜光明，寂静将使人更加喜爱声音。

40、好景不常，幸福的时光总是结束得太早。

41、对于凌驾命运之上的人来说，信心就好似生命的主宰。

42、当一扇幸福的门关起的时候，另一扇幸福的门会因此开启，但我们却经常看这扇关闭的大门太久，而忘了注意到那扇已经为我们而开启的幸福之门

43、春光里百鸟鸣叫，歌声盈耳，夏天里到处是果子和蔷薇花，待到草黄叶红已是深秋来临。

44、残忍的命运挡住了入口，我会不甘愿地质问命运为何作这样专横的宣判，因为我的心尚未驯服，仍是狂热的;但刻薄无情的话到口里，我的舌头却没有说出来，像还未落下的泪，又流回我的心中。

45、不怀希望，不论什么事情都做不出来。

46、把活着的每一天看作生命的最后一天。

47、爱是摸不着的，但你却能感到她带来的甜蜜。

A little panda picks up a pumpkin and wants to take it home. But the pumpkin is too big. The panda cant take it home.

Suddenly she sees a bear riding a bike toward her. She watches the bike. "I know! I have a good idea." she jumps and shouts happily, "I can roll a pumpkin. Its like a wheel."

So she rolls the pumpkin to her home. When her mother sees the big pumpkin, she is surprised, "Oh, my God! How can you carry it home?" the little panda answers proudly, "I cant lift it, but I can roll it." Her mother smiled and says, "What a clever girl! Use you heard to do something,"

聪明的熊猫

一只小熊猫摘了一只大南瓜，想把它拿回家。但是这只南瓜太大了，她没有办法把这么大的南瓜带回家。

突然她看见一只狗熊骑着一辆自行车朝她这边来。她看着自行车，跳着说：“有了!我有办法了。我可以把南瓜滚回家去。南瓜好像车轮。

于是她把那瓜滚回家。当她妈妈看到这只大南瓜的时候，很惊讶：“天啊!这么食的南瓜!你是怎么把它带回家来的?”小熊猫自豪地说;“我拎不动它，可是我能滚动它啊!”她妈妈微笑着说：“真聪明啊!记住：只要你肯动脑筋，没有难办的事。

导语：海伦·凯勒，美国著名的女作家、教育家、慈善家、社会活动家。下面是小编整理的海伦凯勒的故事500字，希望对大家有所帮助。

1880年，海伦·凯勒出生在美国。不幸的小海伦，在生了一场重病之后，双目失明，双耳失聪。天哪，谁能想到，当时她才是一个一岁半的娃娃呀！从此，小海伦与有声有色的世界隔绝了。她面对着的是无边无际的黑暗和死一般的沉寂。她不能喊一声“妈妈”，也不能倾诉心中的希望和要求。她变得暴躁起来，脾气越来越坏。

就在这时，家庭教师安妮·沙利文来到了海伦身边。

沙利文老师开始教海伦摸盲文，拼单词。一次，她们路过水井房时，沙利文把海伦的一只手放在水管口上。这时一股清凉的水在海伦手上流过。沙利文在海伦的另一只手上拼写了“水”这个单词。海伦猛然醒悟，原来“水”就是这种清凉而奇妙的东西呀！她心中充满了前所未有的喜悦，感到生命有了新的开始。

在沙利文老师的精心指导下，海伦学会了拼写自己的名字，学会了拼写“泥土”、“种子”等许多单词。她不分昼夜，像一块干燥的海绵吮吸着知识的甘霖。她拼命摸读盲文，不停地书写单词和句子，她是这样地如饥似渴，以至小小的手指头都摸出了血。沙利文老师心疼地用布把她的手指一一包扎起来。就这样，海伦学会了阅读，书写和算术，学会了用手指“说话”。

知识打开了海伦的眼界，增强了海伦生活的勇气和信心，她有时在林中漫步，有时和朋友们在湖上泛舟。她在想象中感受着这个世界。“我常常感觉到一阵微风吹过，花瓣散落在我身上。于是我把落日想象为一座很大很大的玫瑰园，园中的花瓣从空中纷纷扬扬地落下来。”她用这样动人的笔调描绘着她心中“看”到的世界。

海伦10岁的时候，越来越强烈地想开口说话。父母为她请来了盲哑学校的萨勒老师。萨勒发音时，要海伦用手放在她的脸上，用感觉来判断萨勒舌头和嘴唇颤动的情况，以此体会怎样发音。这种完全靠触觉学习说话的方法，其艰难程度可想而知。海伦后来在回忆自己的这段学习生活时说：“为使我的伙伴——即使是最亲密的伙伴——能听懂我的话，我夜以继日地努力，反复朗读某些词语或句子，有时甚至要读几个小时，只到自己觉得读对了为止。我每天坚持着练习，练习，练习……”

当夏天来临时，海伦在盲哑学校的课程正好告一段落，她说话的能力也和一般人没什么两样了。海伦回到家时，大声喊道：“爸爸，妈妈，我回来了！”刹那间，爸爸和妈妈紧紧地抱住了海伦，流下了兴奋的泪水。

1900年，海伦考上了大学。大学毕业后，她决心像沙利文老师那样，为更多和自己一样不幸的人服务。她把自己全部的爱都倾注在残疾人身上。海伦·凯勒这种不屈不挠的奋斗精神，永远留在世人的心中。

1904年6月，海伦以优异的成绩从拉德克里夫学院毕业。两年后，她被任命为麻萨诸塞州盲人委员会主席，开始了为盲人服务的社会工作。她每天都接待来访的盲人，还要回复雪片一样飞来的信件。后来，她又在全美巡回演讲，为促进实施聋盲人教育计划和治疗计划而奔波。到了1921年，终于成立了美国盲人基金会民间组织。海伦是这个组织的领导人之一，她一直为加强基金会的工作而努力。在繁忙的工作中，她始终没有放下手中的笔，先后完成了14部著作。《我生活的故事》《石墙之歌》《走出黑暗》《乐观》等，都产生了世界范围的影响。海伦的最后一部作品是《老师》，她曾为这本书搜集了20年的笔记和信件，而这一切和四分之三的文稿却都在一场火灾中烧毁，连同它们一起烧掉的还有布莱叶文图书室、各国赠送的精巧工艺礼品。如果换一个人也许心灰意冷，可海伦痛定思痛，更加坚定了完成它的决心，她不声不响地坐到了打字机前，开始了又一次艰难的跋涉。10年之后，海伦完成了书稿。她很欣慰，这本书是献给安妮老师的一份厚礼，老师安妮也为此而感到无比骄傲。

1956年11月15日，竖立在美国波金斯盲童学校入口处的一块匾额上的幕布，由海伦用颤抖的手揭开了，上面写着：纪念海伦·凯勒和安妮·苏莉文·麦西。这不是一块普通的匾额，而是为那些在人类文明史上写下了突出篇章的人们所设立的。的确，海伦把一生献给了盲人福利和教育事业，赢得了全世界人民的尊敬，联合国还曾发起“海伦·凯勒”世界运动。1968年6月1日，海伦·凯勒——这位谱写出人类文明史上辉煌生命赞歌的聋哑盲学者、作家、教育家，在鲜花包围中告别了人世。然而，她那不屈不挠的奋斗精神，她那带有传奇色彩的一生，却永远载入了史册，正如著名作家马克·吐温所言：“19世纪出现了两个了不起的人物，一个是拿破仑，一个就是海伦·凯勒。”

海伦·凯勒（Helen Keller 1880年6月27日—1968年6月1日），19世纪美国盲聋哑女作家、教育家、慈善家、社会活动家。

1880年6月27日出生于亚拉巴马州北部一个小城镇——特斯开母比亚。她在19个月的时候被猩红热夺去了她的视力和听力。不久，她又丧失了语言表达能力。然而就在这黑暗而又寂寞的世界里，她并没有放弃，而是自强不息，并在她的导师安妮·莎莉文的努力下，海伦用顽强的毅力克服生理缺陷所造成的精神痛苦。她热爱生活并从中得到知识，学会了读书和说话，并开始和其他人沟通。而且以优异的成绩毕业于美国拉德克利夫学院，成为一个学识渊博的人，掌握英、法、德、拉丁、希腊五种文字的著名作家和教育家。她走遍美国和世界各地，为盲人学校募集资金，把自己的一生献给了盲人福利和教育事业。她赢得了世界各国人民的赞扬，并得到许多国家政府的嘉奖。

海伦认为视力和听力丧失的悲剧往往发生在那些因贫困而无法给予孩子及时治疗的家庭。为了消除社会不平等引发的罪恶现象，海伦加入了美国国家社会党（Socialist Party of America）和国际产业工人协会IWW（Industrial Workers of the World），成为一名激进的社会主义者。曾著有《我是怎样成为一名社会主义者的》[1]和《我为什么要加入 IWW》[2]两篇文章解释自己的行为动机。但西方历史教科书往往褒扬海伦·凯勒早年与疾病抗争的故事，而其成年后作为一名社会主义者的事实被故意忽略了。在《老师告诉我的那些谎言—美国历史教科书犯下的错误》[3]一书中曾提到这一点。

海伦·凯勒的主要作品有《假如给我三天光明》[4]、《我的生活》、《我的老师》等。海伦·凯勒一生一共写了14部著作。《我的生活》是她的处女作。作品一发表；立即在美国引起了轰动，被称为“世界文学史上无与伦比的杰作”，出版的版本超过百余种，在世界上产生了巨大的影响。本书由海伦·凯勒的《我的生活》《走出黑暗》《老师》三本书以及发表在美国《大西洋月刊》上的著名散文《假如给我三天光明》编译而成，完整系统地介绍了海伦·凯勒丰富、生动、真实而伟大的一生，许多文字还是第一次与中国读者见面。《假如给我三天光明》为苏教版五年级下册第8课，也是试用本六年级下册第九课
