Two smart children --- Benjamin Kan, 12, and his sister Emily, 11, found a stolen in woods near Sai Kung yesterday morning. The delighted owner, Mrs. Judy Roberts, has made a decision to take the children out to dinner as a reward.
Both Benjamin and Emily are studying at Sai Kung Secondary School. They were walking along a path on their way to school when they noticed a car partly covered with branches pulled from a tree. The children were a bit surprised because very few people parked their cars there. They looked inside the car and there was nobody in it.
The children suspected something went wrong. They made a note of the type of the car and its colour. Benjamin, a secondary one student, also wrote down its number. When they returned to their school, they immediately told their teacher what they had seen. The matter was reported to the police station.
As a result of inquires (调查), Mrs. Judy Roberts was traced (追踪). The car had been stolen from her garage two days earlier.

I’m going to write to the headmaster of Sai Kung Secondary School to thank their teachers and pay tribute to (对…表示敬佩) them.” Mrs. Roberts said.

“Lizzie, there’s a letter for you!” Emily called up the stairs to her sister. Lizzie looked down. “Is it from Harvard? They refused my application（申请）once.” Emily answered, “No, it’s from Yale.” Quickly, Lizzie walked downstairs. She took the letter and opened it. “Rejected again,” Lizzie said unhappily. “Who says women can’t be doctors?”
“They are fools not to accept you. You can’t let them stop you, Lizzie,” Emily said.
“I won’t. I’ll apply to Geneva Medical College,” Lizzie told her sister. As it turned out, the professors at Geneva Medical College were not fools. They allowed Lizzie Blackwell to study medicine.
In 1848, a year before Lizzie would graduate, a typhoid epidemic (伤寒流行病) broke out in New York. Lizzie wrote to Emily. “There’s an outbreak (爆发) of typhoid, and I am going to help. It is dangerous, so if I die, please do me the honor of studying medicine yourself.”
Emily replied, “Encouraged by your dream and success, I have decided to study in medical school, as well.”
Having survived the disease, Lizzie tried to set up a private medical practice. “I graduated first in my class but no one believes a woman can be a good doctor,” she said to Emily one day. “All I hear is that doctors should be men, while women should stay home to cook and clean.”
Emily said worriedly, “I will graduate in June with my medical degree. What shall we do?” Lizzie thought for a while and replied, “There’s a big house in the poor part of our town. We can provide medicine there for people who couldn’t afford care.”
Soon with the help of some friends, Lizzie and Emily bought the house and opened a hospital for poor women and children. “We’ll have an all-women staff (员工),” Lizzie said. “And later, we’ll set up a medical college for women!” Emily added. At last, Lizzie realized her dream of being a doctor.
