For the first nineteen months in her life, Helen Keller was like any other bright happy child in every way. Then a sudden　 36　 destroyed her sight and hearing. The child couldn’t find a way to　 37　 because she was not able to see or hear other people. For the next seven years she lived　 38　 a world of darkness, with no　 39　 .

It was Miss Annie Sullivan who changed Helen’s world. Annie　 40　 on a job which had seemed impossible. Annie made every effort to　 41　 this blind girl who had never learned to　 42　 a normal life.

The teacher started with a system of spelling which used the sense of touch. In this system the person who was　 43　 a word tapped the student’s hand very quickly and tapped it in different　 44　 to give the idea of different letters.

One morning the child and her teacher were taking a walk to the open air. They stopped around a pump which was　 45　 to take water out of the well(水井). Miss Sullivan pumped out some　 46　 from the well and let it flow over one of Helen’s hands.

While the cool water was flowing over that little girl’s hand, the teacher spelled the word “water” into the child’s other　 47　 , first slowly, then quickly. Helen “watched” movements of Miss Sullivan’s fingers as they tapped the letters again, again and again. 48　 the child seemed to remember something that she had forgotten. It was like the　 49　 of a lost thought.

Helen Keller later explained, “I know then that w-a-t-e-r meant something that was cool and flowing over my hand. That gave me light, hope and joy, and brought my　 50　 into a new, free world.”

At last she understood how language works in man’s life.
