Washington D.C. is the capital of the United States. It's the center of national government. It's a busy, working city with a large population. But what is more, Washington is also a city of history and culture. It is
home to many famous and interesting public buildings and monuments, many of which are connected with
the federal government.
Washington was created in 1790, when Congress (the highest lawmaking body of the United States)
decided to place the nation's new capital in the east of the country. It was built half way between the
northern and southern states of America. And of course it was named after George Washington, the first
President of the United States.
There are many tourist sights in Washington. Perhaps the most important tourist sight is the Capital
Building. This is the house of the Congress. Another world-famous building in Washington is the White
House. This is the home and office of the President of the United States. Most visitors are, however,
surprised by how small the White House actually is.
Washington is also a great cultural city. The Library of Congress contains one of the largest library
collections in the world. The Smithsonian Museum holds the nation's largest collection of cultural
materials. And the John F. Kennedy Center is a famous center of art and culture. It has many great
musical and theatre performances throughout the year.

How much pocket money do you get from your parents every month? Maybe 200 yuan? But for Li Beibei, 30 yuan each month is enough. The only thing she buys is lunch—1.5 yuan each day. “Meat is too expensive for me,” said Li.
Li, 14, is a Junior 1 student at Beijing’s Xingzhi Experimental School. Her parents are migrant workers(外来务工人员). They came to Beijing from a village in Luohe, He’nan two years ago. Her father now works as a cleaner and gets 500 yuan every month. Her mother has no job.
Li Beibei has 460 friends at Xingzhi. Every day, Li gets up at 5:30 am and rides her bike for 20 minutes to get to school. Like many teens, Li has a lot of homework—usually at least one hour every day. But that is not all her work. During the weekdays she helps her mum cook. On weekends, she helps wash clothes. “I could cook when I was eight. Dad said sometimes I cook better than Mum!”
Li said she wanted to be a doctor. “I watch TV and find out there are many people with AIDS in He’nan. Some are kids. They need help,” said Li.
