单选题 M: Hi Sarah! What are you reading? W: I'm reading about Helen Keller. Have you heard of her? M: Yes, I have! I know she was an amazing person, but I don't know much about her story. W: Helen Keller was born in 1880 in Alabama. When she was 19 months old, she became very sick and lost both her sight and hearing. M: How did she manage to communicate or learn? W: She could barely communicate until her family found a teacher named Anne Sullivan to help her when she was seven. M: What did Anne Sullivan do? W: Anne used her finger to spell words into Helen's hand. The breakthrough happened when she spelled "w-a-t-e-r" while Helen was feeling water from a pump. Helen finally understood that the letters spelled into her hand represented the word for the thing she was touching. M: That must have been a magical moment for both Anne and Helen! W: Yes. After that moment, Helen began to learn how to read and write using Braille, a special writing system that enables blind people to read and write by touch. She also learned to "listen" by feeling the vibrations of a person's throat and lips. M: Amazing! Did she go to school? W: Yes, she did. Actually, she was the first deaf-blind person to earn a college degree. She became a writer and an advocate for people with disabilities. M: That's truly remarkable. It's really amazing how much she accomplished despite her disabilities. Her life is a powerful example of overcoming life's challenges. Q: When did Helen Keller become blind and deaf?
