Chen Weijun,13, is a Junior 2 student at Huaqiao Middle School in Haikou, Hainan.

  This week, he had the happiest time. On Tuesday, he went to the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. He and nine other kids became the Top 10 Young Pioneers.

  “Now I am not only my dad’s good boy, I am China’s good boy. I must work harder,” he said.

  At school, Chen is a good student leader. He does many activities. He was in short plays. He worked as a host(主持人) for his school TV.

  “I’m self-assured. It’s good to try different things.” Chen said. “If you can dream it, you can do it.”

  Chen’s teacher, Xie Wei, said Chen is nice and helpful. “He doesn’t talk much but works very hard.”

  Young Chen always helps other people. One student at his school, Wu Deyi, had leukemia(白血病). Chen asked students and teachers to help him. From February to May, Chen raised more than 20,000 yuan for Wu.

  Chen also thinks about how to make his city cleaner. There were plastic bags in the Meishe River. Chen was sad. He wanted the river to be clean. So he wrote a letter to the head of the city. He asked him to spend more money, tell people not to throw rubbish into the river and have a wall to keep children safe. The head of the city listened to him. Now the river is cleaner.

  At home, Chen is a good boy. He washes his clothes and he also cooks meals for the family sometimes. Chen says his hero is Premier(总理) Wen Jiabao. “He is very brave. He is not afraid of difficulties and makes China stronger,” Chen said. Will Chen become a big leader of tomorrow?

阅读理解

　　New York, London, Paris and other big cities are wonderful places to live in. There are many nice things to see and to do. You can go to different kinds of museums, plays and films. You can also go shopping to buy things from all over the world.

　　But there are serious problems in big cities, too. The cost of living is high, and there are too many people in some places. Every year many people move to the cities because there are more chances to find jobs, to study at good schools and to receive good medical care. But sometimes these people can not find jobs or good places to live in. Also, too many people in a small space make it hard to keep the cities safe and clean.

　　Some people enjoy staying in big cities, others do not. Before people move to a big city, they should think about the problems of staying there.
