Helen Keller was born in 1880. When she was a baby, she became very sick. She recovered from her illness, but afterward, Helen (1) ( didn’t have to, couldn’t see, need to ) and (2) ( did, wasn’t able to, needed to ) hear anything at all; she was blind and deaf. Life became very hard for Helen and her family. She was often angry, and used to break things and scream. Her family realized they (3) ( managed to, could not, needed to ) find help for Helen, and they contacted a doctor, who suggested they visit a local expert, Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone. With his help, they (4) ( couldn’t, were able to, had to ) find a teacher for Helen, a woman named Anne Sullivan. When Anne met Helen, she started teaching her to spell out words using her fingers. Helen (5) ( managed to, were able to, was ) learn the words for “doll” and “cake.” But Anne realized she also (6) ( had to, couldn’t, need ) help Helen with her difficult behavior, so they moved into a small house together. Helen started to make remarkable progress, and after a short time, she (7) ( didn’t have to, be able, could ) read using braille, and write using a typewriter.

At that time, many people believed that women (8) ( didn’t need to, had to, can ) go to college, but Helen went to Radcliffe College, and, with Anne’s help, she managed to graduate: the first deaf and blind person to get a degree.
