(课件网) 主题语境：人与自我———人生智慧 Enlightening① a Mind Helen Keller was an exceptionally② special girl.By the time she was seven years old，she still couldn't speak，read or write and needed to have everything done for her.[1]This was because she couldn't see or hear. With these severe③ restrictions④ to her communication，Helen's behaviour was often unbearable.She was sometimes troublesome⑤，stubborn⑥ and angry，and had a tendency⑦ to break things when no one understood her. Helen's parents got a superb teacher recommended to them，a woman named Anne Sullivan.Anne was a teacher and former student at a school for the blind in Boston. She'd had eyesight problems early in life as well so she could relate⑧ to Helen's difficulties. Anne's technique to teach Helen language was simple and straightforward⑨. [2]Anne spelt words by writing on Helen's hand so that Helen could get a mental picture of the words. She started 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 initially did this，Helen thought it was a game.She wrote about her excitement later in her book，The Story of My Life： “Running downstairs to my mother，I held up my hand and made the letters for ‘doll’.I did not know that I was spelling a word or even that words existed; I was simply making my fingers go in monkey-like imitation.” The word “think” was also a difficult one for Helen because it is such an abstract⑩concept.However，one day as she was working on a simple task，she had a breakthrough. She was making necklaces with the help of Anne when she noticed that she had made some mistakes.Because she was uncertain how to fix them，she stopped to think carefully.As she did this，Anne touched Helen's forehead and wrote the word “think” on her hand.“In a flash I knew that the word was the name of the process that was going on in my head.” 词汇积累 佳句背诵 ①enlighten vt.启迪；教导 ②exceptionally adv.极其，非常 ③severe adj.很严重的 ④restriction n.限制，规定 ⑤troublesome adj.令人烦恼的 ⑥stubborn adj.固执的，倔强的 ⑦tendency n.倾向 ⑧relate vi.理解；相联系 ⑨straightforward adj.简单的，易懂的 ⑩abstract adj.抽象的 [1]This was because she couldn't see or hear.(because引导表语从句) 这是因为她看不见也听不见。 [2]Anne spelt words by writing on Helen's hand so that Helen could get a mental picture of the words.(so that引导目的状语从句) 她先在海伦手上拼写单词，使海伦联想到单词的画面。 【原文呈现】 Tuesdays with Morrie Despite① being a sports journalist② with a successful career ahead of him，Mitch Albom feels that there is something missing from his life.This all changes when he is reunited with③ his favourite college professor，Morrie Schwartz.[1]On discovering that Morrie is being weakened④ by a severe illness，Mitch starts visiting him at his house on Tuesdays.The weekly conversations between Mitch and Morrie result in a ... ...
