On March 3, 1887, the lives of two amazing women were changed forever when Anne Sullivan, a poor university graduate, arrived at the home of the wealthy Keller family to teach their six-year-old daughter Helen. It was a difficult job as Helen was unable to see, hear or speak because of illness.

Anne had been suggested to the Keller’s by her university professor，a close friend of Mr. Keller. Before she arrived, Anne expected her new pupil to be a quiet, weak child. But Helen was nothing like that. When Anne first walked through the Kellers’ door, the energetic Helen nearly knocked her over in her hurry to feel Anne’s face, clothing and bag.

Helen was used to visitors bringing her sweets, and angrily tried to force open Anne’s case to take her candy. But Anne calmed her down by allowing Helen to play with her watch. So began one of the most successful student-teacher relationships in history.

Anne Sullivan was only twenty years old when she began teaching Helen. She had to not only teach the child all the usual school subjects, but also control Helen’s sometimes wild behaviour.

Her well-meaning parents allowed Helen to do as she liked at home. Realizing that such an environment was unsuitable for learning, Anne requested that she and Helen live in a small house nearby.

As soon as Helen began learning, it became clear she was especially intelligent. She quickly learned to read and write, and by the age of ten she could also speak.

In 1900, Helen started studying at Radcliffe University, and graduated first in her class in 1904. She was the very first blind and deaf person to get a university degree. How did she do it? Anne Sullivan read all of Helen’s books and then signed the information into her hand. Anne remained at Helen’s side until her death in 1936. Helen became a world-famous writer, and fought for disabled people’s rights until her death on June 1,1968.

1.How did Anne come to work at the Kellers’ home?

A. She replied to a job advertisement.

B. She was introduced by her family friend.

C. She was recommended by her university professor.

D. She met Mr. Keller while studying at university.

2.What surprised Anne most about Helen when they first met?

A. How quiet and weak Helen was. B. Helen clamed Anne down.

C. Helen’s parents treated her terribly. D. How forceful Helen was.

3.Why did Anne ask to move into a small house with Helen?

A. Because Anne didn’t like Helen’s parents at all.

B. Because Anne wanted Helen to grow up freely.

C. Because Helen was especially intelligent and she learned to read quickly.

D. Because Anne hoped to create a good environment for Helen’s learning.

4.Which statement can we infer from the passage?

A. Anne cared little about Helen’s behavior.

B. Helen’s success had nothing to do with Anne’s help.

C. Both Anne and Helen were well educated.

D. Both Anne and Helen came from rich families.
