I gave the page a quick glance and saw the same problem at the end.我快速「扫了一眼」整页，发现末尾也有同样的问题。 So we added one choice, an extension, in the same format.于是我们加了一个选项，一个「扩展」，并按照同样的「格式」写上去。 Leo let me handle the change.利奥让我自己「处理」这个改动。 He held the mouse firmly and clicked save.他「紧紧」握住鼠标，点了保存。

Next day the form looked fine, but the girls did not join.第二天表看起来没问题，可女孩们还是没有报名。 At first we thought they would look at the new box.起初我们以为她们会去看那个新选项。 Leo called two of them and asked why.利奥叫来两个女孩，问了原因。 One girl said she did not want to be the only female name there.一个女孩说，她不想成为那里唯一的「女性」名字。

That answer showed the problem was more extensive than we thought.那个回答说明，问题比我们想的更「广泛」。 So we asked a fellow student to write the first line.于是我们请一位「同伴」同学写了第一行。 Afterward girls joined every day, and we kept that form open.之后女孩们每天都来报名，我们让那张表一直开着。
