    When Helen was a baby, she got very sick. After many weeks, the doctor said, “She is better, but now she can't see and can't hear②.” Her mother and father were very sad.

    After a few years, things got worse. There was no way for Helen to speak to other people. She heard nothing. She saw nothing. She didn't understand anything.

    Helen was a very old woman when she died. The world remembers her today as a brave(勇敢) and wonderful person. She was blind and deaf, but she found a way to see and hear④.
