Unit 1 Living well
【导语】 Helen Keller一生生活在无声、无光的世界中，但她凭借自己的毅力给我们带来了人生的光明。
Three days to see
—Helen Keller
Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow.Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. We should live each day with a gentleness，a vigor, and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come. There are those, of course，who would adopt the epicurean motto of “Eat，drink，and be merry，” but most people would be restrained by the certainty of approaching death.
In stories the hero is usually saved at the last minute by some stroke of fortune，but almost always his sense of values is changed.He becomes more appreciative of the meaning of life and its permanent spiritual values. It has often been noted that those who live，or have lived，in the shadow of death bring a mellow sweetness to everything they do.
