Years later,they became rich and returned to their hometown.To their surprise,the land around the village was

became dry soon.Then they asked a drilling team to dig a deep well.Clear water appeared,but their money was used

Once a king got two nice falcons(猎鹰)from his son.He had never seen such beautiful falcons before.He loved
them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly.
After several months,the king came to see how the training was going on.He found that one falcon had already
been able to fly high in the sky,while the other was staying on the branch(树枝)of a tree quietly,just keeping still.
The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make the other
falcon fly.But none of them succeeded.One day,while the king was taking a walk in the forest,an idea came to his
mind.Maybe someone who knew the natural environment well could solve this problem.He sent for a farmer who
lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.
The next morning,the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely.“It is unbelievable!”shouted the
king.“How could you make it happen?”
The farmer replied,“It’s very easy.I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested.”
It is always the same to human beings.We all have“two flying wings”in our hearts as well,but we often seem
not to notice them and stay where we are just for safety and comfort.We won’t realize we can fly so high and freely
until the“branch”we are resting on breaks.

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 Kellers 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.

When my brother and I were growing up, we mowed (割草) yards during the summer to make pocket money.
Dad was our salesman. He traded our service to neighbors at a price they could not refuse. My brother and I got $10
per yard. I later found out our friends had asked $20 or more for the same amount of work.
