I have been trying to get sick．I don't wear a sweater when I should，and two days ago I walked in the rain without my boots and my feet got wet．But so far nothing has happened．Debbie once told me about a girl who liked to stay overnight in the infirmary（医务室）．She used to rub（摩擦）the end of the clinical thermometer（体温计）until it went up to 102．Then she'd stick it in her mouth and the nurse there would think she was really sick．
This morning I tried doing that but it never went above 94 and I rubbed it for ten whole minutes．So I held the tip（未端）of the thermometer next to the light bulb（灯泡）in my desk lamp and it went up to105．I thought I'd put it in my mouth and walk downstairs like that．Then my mother would take it out and she would be surprised when she saw what a high fever I had!
The only trouble was I didn't know the thermometer would be so hot．As soon as I put it into my mouth, I burned my tongue．Something terrible! I spit the thermometer out．It fell on the floor but it didn't break．I will have to think up a better way to get mother and father back together．I can't waste my time trying to get sick．

The workers who brought the girl to the orphanage（孤儿院）knew little about her. The streets where they found her had been her home for many years. Her parents were unknown. They left her long ago. At the orphanage, the girl, like all the children there, was taught to read and write. While she was studying at the orphanage, she learned something else—to be independent（独立）. At twenty-one, she left the orphanage and began working as a secretary.（秘书）And then, in 1975, while she was still working as an ordinary secretary, something special happened. She entered the Miss Hong Kong competition and won it. This was the turning point in her life. Now her name, Mary Cheung, was known to everybody.
Mary entered the competition because she wanted to show that orphanage girls could be something. Winning the competition gave her the chance to start a new life. This led her first into television and then into business as a manager. When she was working as a manager, she had trouble with her reports. “My English just wasn’t good enough.” She says. Luckily, she had a boyfriend (who later became her husband) to help her.
Mary studied management（管理）at Hong Kong and graduated in 1980, She started her own business in 1985. But she did not stop developing herself. She then studied at the University of Hong Kong.
