She was sometimes __________(令人烦恼的), __________(固执的) and angry, and __________(有...习惯/倾向)break things when no one understood her.
海伦•凯勒是一个非常特殊的女孩。她七岁时,仍不会说话,不能读书也不会写字,一切都需要别人照顾。这是因为她看不见也听不见。这些严重的障碍限制了海伦的正常交流,也让她的行为常常令人难以忍受。海伦有时很烦人、很固执,而且很易怒。如果没有人能理解她的意思,她就会摔东西。
Helen’s parents got __________(一位卓越的老师) recommended to them, a woman __________(name) Anne Sullivan. Anne was a teacher and former student at a school for the blind in Boston. She__________(有视力问题) early in life as well so she could __________(理解/understand) Helen’s __________(difficulty).
海伦的父母经人推荐,聘请了一位名叫安妮·莎莉文的优秀老师。安妮曾是波士顿一所盲人学校的老师,也曾在那儿上过学。她小时候也视力有障碍,所以更能理解海伦所面临的困境。
Anne’s technique to teach Helen language was simple and __________(简单的,易懂的,坦率的) Anne __________(spell)words by writing on Helen’s hand so that Helen could get a mental picture of the words. She __________(start) with the word “doll”. She would let Helen play with the doll, and then spell the letters “D-O-L-L” on her hand. When they __________(起初) did this, Helen __________(think) it was a game. She __________(write) about her __________(excite)later in her book, The Story of My Life:
安妮教海伦学习语言的方法简单明了。她先在海伦手上拼写单词,使海伦联想到单词的画面。安妮给海伦拼写的第一个词是“doll”。她先让海伦和洋娃娃玩耍,然后在海伦的手上拼写“D-O-L-L”。刚开始海伦以为这是在玩游戏。后来在《我的人生故事》一书中,海伦描述了自己的兴奋之情:
“__________(run) downstairs to my mother, I held up my hand and made the letters for ‘doll’. I did not know _______ I was spelling a word or even t_____words existed; I was __________(simple)making my fingers go in monkey-like imitation.”
“我跑下楼去见我母亲,举起手来,也给她拼写字母组成‘doll’。可我那时并不知道自己在拼写单词,甚至压根不知道词汇的存在。我仅仅是亦步亦趋地用手指模仿老师。”
