小时候，妈妈给我讲过许多英雄人物故事，如：董存瑞舍身炸碉堡、邱少云为了遵守纪律在火中纹丝不动、雷锋全心全意为人民服务等的感人故事。
When I was a child, my mother told me many heroic stories, such as Dong Cunrui's suicide bombing of the blockhouse, Qiu Shaoyun's motionless in the fire in order to observe discipline, Lei Feng's wholehearted service to the people and so on.
在我的想象中，以为只有大人才能出英雄，看了《自古英雄出少年》这本书后，我才明白小孩中出现了许多英雄，如古代的李寄、木兰、赵云等，近、现代的朱洗、聂耳、小萝卜头等，还有外国的安徒生，爱迪生、卓娅等，这些英雄人物在书中被描绘的栩栩如生，使我受益匪浅。 所有的故事中，最让我感动的是“生命的奇迹—海伦•凯勒的童年”这篇文章，故事讲了海伦•凯勒因发烧不幸变成一个又盲又聋又哑的女孩，在家庭教师安妮的帮助下，刻苦钻研，创造了奇迹，成了美国著名的社会活动家和教育家。
虽然她的生命中承受了巨大的打击，可是她却有向命运之神挑战的决心！海伦的故事令我惊异：人的生命中究竟有多少“不可思议”；也使我感到惭愧，为什么自己耳聪目明，四肢强健，却什么事情都依赖爸爸、妈妈，而且无论做什么事情都嫌麻烦，没有恒心，正如海伦所说的：健全的人往往会对眼前的一切感觉毫无意义，不会去珍惜眼前所看到的。我想在以后的学习、生活中，我会向她学习，样样事情都学着自己做，碰到了困难毫不退缩，长大做一个造就未来的栋梁。
Although she suffered a great blow in her life, she was determined to challenge the God of fate! Helen's story surprised me: how much "incredible" is there in people's life; it also made me feel ashamed. Why do I have ears and eyes, strong limbs, but rely on my father and mother for everything, and no matter what I do, it's troublesome, and I don't have perseverance. As Helen said, a sound person often feels meaningless to everything in front of him and doesn't treasure it What you see in front of you. I think in the future study and life, I will learn from her, learn to do everything by myself, never flinch when encountering difficulties, grow up to be a pillar of the future.
