    Mr White and Mr Black are good friends. They are deaf (聋的).

    Mr White and Mr Blank often talk together. They talk about all kinds of things. Sometimes they are worried about their hearing. But one thinks the other is much deafer.

    One day Mr Black comes to see Mr White. Mr White is sitting in an armchair. He is having a rest. Mr Black stops at the door and asks. "Can you hear me?" Again he doesn't hear any answer, Mr Black is quite pleased. Still he goes nearer and asks for the third time. "Can you hear me?" Still there is no answer. At last Mr Black goes up to Mr White and calls out, "Now I know you are much deafer than me. You don't hear my questions."" I'm much deafer?" says Mr White. "No, I answered you three times. But you did not hear any answers."

    This is a true story of a great woman. Her name was Helen Keller. She was born in 1880 in Alabama in the USA. When Helen was one year and a half, she got ill, and then she became Blind (瞎的) and deaf (聋的).

    Her parents asked a young teacher called Anne Sullivan to their home to teach Helen. Helen was a smart girl but she couldn't hear or talk. She was angry at this. So she was always crying and shouting. Anne Sullivan took her to a nearby (附近的) house. After two weeks, Helen became quiet.

    Anne began to teach her to spell. Anne often took her for walks in the cicsountry near her home.

    Helen learned to write. Boards with lines on then helped her to keep the words straight. Soon there were her stories in newspapers and magazines. When she was 17, she studied French, German (德语), Latin (拉丁语), physics (物理) and many other subjects. She was still blind and deaf. In 1902 she wrote a book "The story of my life". It became famous all over the world.
