In1882a baby girl caught such a serious fever that she nearly die. The fever cut her off from the outside world, depriving(夺去) her of sight and sound. That poor girl was Helen Keller.

Luckily Helen was not a girl who gave up easily. Soon she began to explore the world by using her other senses. She touched and smelt everything she came across. She also learnt to recognize people by feeling their faces or their clothes.

Just before her seventh birthday, the family hired a private tutor- Anne Sullivan. With the help of Anne, Helen soon learnt to read and write in Braille. She also learnt to read people’s lips by pressing her fingertips against them and feeling the movement and vibrations. She also learnt to speak, a major achievement for people who could not hear at all.

Helen proved to be a remarkable scholar, graduating with honors from Radcliffe College in 1904. While she was still at college, she wrote The Story of My Life. This was an immediate success and earned her enough money to buy her own house.

She toured the country, giving lecture after lecture. Many books were written about her and several plays and films were made about her life. Finally she became so famous that she was invited abroad and received many honors from foreign universities. In 1932, she became a vice-president of the Royal National Institute for the Blind in the United Kingdom.

After her death in 1968 an organization was set up in her name to combat (与……斗争)blindness in the developing world. Today that agency, Helen Keller International, is one of the biggest organizations working with blind people overseas.

【题目】阅读下面的短文,根据短文内容完成下面的表格。

Bamboo is a kind of wild grass. There are more than 1450 species of bamboo that grow across the world. It is hollow(空的), so it is very light.

For thousands of years, bamboo has been used in many different ways—from food to medicine to clothing. It is also used for furniture or man-made building products such as flooring and window covers. However, bamboo is not often used as a building material in the developed world.

Kent Harries, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh, sees bamboo as a great building material because of the following.

First, it is strong. The strength of at least three species of bamboo is similar to steel. Besides its strength, Harries says that bamboo has other features that make it a great building material. He says it can keep its shape and strength even under pressure.

Second, it’s very tall. It can grow up to 20 meters and it supports its own weight, even in the strong wind.

Thirdbamboo also grows quickly. Bamboo that is suitable for construction needs much less resources than wood. It lives on the rainwater, spring water and sunlight. The harvest cycle of bamboo is about 3 years. Softwoods such as pine (松树) and spruce(云杉) have a harvest cycle of about 10 years. And hardwoods that come from flowering plants such as maple(枫树) and walnut(胡桃树) need more than 30 years.

People usually think bamboo is only for poor people. But in many countriesbamboo is used for building floors and roofs and even beautiful houses.
